curiously on product safety. How come this issue has “just” appeared? Concerning product safety, we wonder just why the Europeans cannot put their own inspectors on the ground in China to examine the safety of products that European companies have commissioned Chinese manufacturers to make? Or has Bruxelles also prohibited this? Why are only the Chinese to blame – and the Europeans are so wonderfully faultless and virtuous?

Index	Trader Group	11/2/2007	11/9/2007	Difference
Dow	Commercials	-177	-1093	-916
Nasdaq	Commercials	5885	6050	165
S&P 500	Commercials	51694	46398	-5296
Russ	Commercials	3427	4754	1327
VIX	Commercials	-4304	119	4423

In last week, Commercial traders sold off S&P and Dow, but increased holdings on Russell index slightly. They also bought heavily on the VIX - Volatility index, expecting tough time ahead. After testing support for several days, the stock-market indexes finally broke-down below critical support levels.

Monday morning crash talk is in the air, but the market gods have denied that event through every other opportunity in the last 20 years. Of course, anything could happen because this is easily the worst price action since the summer of 2002.

In short term, the market has been severely over-sold, but it's time to exercise caution!

Hope the best for all,

Investor and Trader Training

The academic economists always say market is efficient, meaning that you can not beat the market. The only thing you can do as an investor is to diversify your portfolio and buy and hold, anything you can make more than the market index, they call it as "abnormal return"

Well, Harvard professors and Nobel laureates are typically not successful investors (sorry!). If the market is truly efficient, nobody can make "abnormal return", how come the rich are getting richer? A few shocking facts:

10% of market participants (Professionals on Wall Street) make 90% of profit on stock market

90% of market participants (average individual investors) make only 10% of profit, if you are in a bull market

The highly respected Financial Institution Goldman Sachs made $37 billion dollars last year, 65% of their profit came from trading, not from invest banking

Fuqi International (FUQI)

Follow-up to previous post. Thanks to Bobb who asked a very good question. Since the statistical evidence is "on average," (for example, CSIQ, MPEL, and XFML are Chinese ADRs that have had negative returns in a two month period) it's very important to allocate the total capital on this strategy among a few Chinese ADR IPOs. The last ADR to debut in October is Fuqi International (FUQI).

-It is expected to debut for public trading on the week of Oct. 22, at around $7-$9 a share.

-Incorporated on September 3, 2004, formerly, it is a designer of precious metal jewelry in China, developing, promoting, and selling a range of products in the Chinese luxury goods market. The Company’s products consist of a range of styles and designs made from precious metals, such as platinum, gold, and Karat gold (K-gold), as well as diamonds and other precious stones. Fuqi’s design database presently contains over 20,000 products.

-It is seeking to raise around $53 million dollars to expand its businesses and purchase more inventory (gold, platinum, etc) and claims that it has to turn away customers at this point because investing in inventory is very capital intensive.

-View its roadshow here: http://www.retailroadshow.com/links/show.asp?c=IPOHFUQi

-View SEC filings here: http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=FuqiInternational&action=getcompany

Remember that this strategy is a stat arb strategy, so that while I have very little fundamental conviction that in the long run these companies will succeed, statistics show that historically over two months Chinese ADRs have been a good investment this past year.

Longtop Financial Technologies Limited (LFT)

There are only two more Chinese ADRs slated to debut this October. Be on the lookout for Longtop Financial Technologies Limited (LVT)

-Pricing on Oct 23 ($12-$14 range), public trading on Oct 24 (10.4mm shares offered):
Longtop Financial Technologies Limited (Longtop) is a software developer and information technology (IT) services provider targeting the financial services industry in China. It was founded in 1996, and in the last twelve months ending 6/30/07, it had revenues of $50 million and a net income of $13 million. It is seeking to raise 150 mm or so for the purchase of a building, general operations, and strategic acquisitions.

-View its roadshow presentation: http://www.retailroadshow.com/links/show.asp?c=IPOHLFT

-Check out its SEC filings: http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=LongtopFinancial

-This past year, Chinese ADRs have performed differently than domestic IPOs on average. The return in a two month period on average is large and positive, whereas for domestic IPOs it is on average negative.

Mid-Day Report

Stock Market Over View

The market outlook is mixed from the Smart Money purchase of future indexes, as we witnessed the dramatic reversal on Thursday after the market reached new highs for the month. Tursday's high is now key resistance:

SPX - 1570, RUT - 850, NDX - 2190, INDU - 14200

But as long as we hold above Thursday's low, the trend
remains UP. (SPX support - 1550; RUT support - 830).

On the other hand,

Smart Money is aggressive sellers of the $VIX index (the infamous "Fear Indix"). As I explained before, the Smart Money is betting the market will continue to go up and the volatility will go down.
