Default Re: I want to go long china

[ QUOTE ]
Why not go long w/ a tight stop/loss, then short the market when it crashes?

Because it's not always obvious when it's going to crash. That it's not always obvious, however, ought to be obvious.

The fundamentals for the country are strong, and the PE ratio's aren't that out of whack with what they should be considering the phenomenal growth that country is going to have.

Even if there are some more one day crashes (like happened recently...though it rebounded strong), the market should go nowhere but up in the next 5, 10, 20+ years.

Care to rebut any of that? Feel free to use more than 5 words this time.

You should probably provide a more complete explanation of why you think it will go up if you're going to be picky about why people say it won't. "The PE ratio's [sic] aren't that out of whack with what they should be" isn't really convincing evidence of expected growth. In fact, I'm not really sold on you knowing what "they should be," in the first place.
