Yes, CW is also right on this. EWI did point out about the "All the same market" view on this carry trade. But EWI did not mean that they will all collapse at the same time when USDI reverse direction. That's why in my previous post, I noted that there already signs of decoupling between major world indices when the USDI was starting to make a bottom about 2 weeks ago. A 'B' wave bear rally is a phoney bull - that means investors' sentiments are at their most clouded and full of illusions and optimism. Such a wave does not die easily and immediately even when all odds are against them. But eventually when it dies, those who are still in long positions will be caught totally unaware and it will be a frightening experience not meant for the weak hearted.

Phil, You might also be interested in the USD index chart on this site. It is one reason why I share a similar view with boyikao on USD. As to whether there is more significant impact on US equity mkts, there are additional factors to consider (e.g. how strong was the USD carry trade etc, to what degree will USD appreciation make owning USD-denominated securities worthwhile etc).

Thanks, boyikao3 and kahchuan. Only found this out a while ago.
U.S. Dollar Index http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Dollar_Index
USDI is the dollar index, formed by tracking the other 6 mjor currencies. This has been the wait of the year indeed! Last night a clear 5 impulsive waves can be seen. This means that the clock already striked 12 last week ! Next, expect the USDI to have a 3 wave decline that should corect its first wave in fibonnacci numbers sequence (1/2, 1/3, 1/5, up to 100% of wave 1). All other currencies and the stock market should rise with this USDI correction of its first complete wave. Then, make a guess in what the next wave in USDI will be ?????

May i ask what USDI r u refering to? Do u mean USDJPY or USDEUR or USDSGD or all three? Is 3rd wave the last wave before 2359? Then
expect to see 鸡飞狗走

| A super mini 3rd wave rally is starting now in the USDI. US indices will probably go either turn at this point or move to 10550 (DOW) and move in tandem with the USDI for a stretch before the clock strikes 12 ! Then pumpkins and rats everywhere! |

Wow, China Mobile group.......
China Mobie group boosts world’s largest mobile network and the world’s largest mobile subscriber base. In 2008, the Company was once again selected as one of the "FT Global 500" by Financial Times and "The World’s 2000 Biggest Public Companies" by Forbes magazine, and was recognized on the Dow Jones Sustainability Indexes ("DJSI") listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") and The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited ("HKEx") on 22 October 1997 and 23 October 1997, respectively. The Company was admitted as a constituent stock of the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong on 27 January 1998.

Ha ha, talking about DOW10k cum STI just x 2700, a not bad moment to celebrate. Below just rcv fr email, for sharing:
Chinese Value Stocks! In DOW???
China's rapid economic growth will be the global story of the foreseeable future. Like the Japanese in 1980s, the Chinese are shopping for Hummer, IBM PC division, natural resources and real estate, etc.
In addition to growth, many investors look at emerging markets such as China as potential protection against falling dollars. No one wants to lose money any more after the market crash of last year, but neither can anyone afford to miss out potential huge growth ahead. Money is flying back to Chinese stocks causing valuations to rise rapidly. Are there still windows of opportunity left?
I went though all Chinese stocks listed in U.S. stock exchanges with market cap greater than $1 billion. Below are 19 with positive P/Es (sorted by P/E):

The top 9 stocks in the list have a P/E ratio of less than 18. They seem to still be reasonably priced, even though some of them have bounced back more than 400% from their 52-week-lows. These 9 inexpensive stocks are in 3 sectors: commodity, technology and railroads.
Commodity
ACH, SNP, YZC, PTR and CEO are all commodity related. Although the worst is likely behind the commodity sector, weakness might persist as long as excess supply does.
A study published in Journal of Investing, spring 2009 issue found that adding a significant allocation to commodities substantially improves portfolio performance. The performance is more dramatic for indirect investment via the equities of companies than for direct investment in the commodities themselves. Gold consistently provides a greater benefit than either platinum or silver. The findings are consistent during much of the 34-year study period.
Below are comparisons between Chinese oil & gas stocks to Exxon Mobil Corp (XOM). As you can see, Chinese oil giants don’t have a clear advantage over Exxon Mobil:

With a higher operating margin and a much lower debt load, CHL is clearly in a much better position. Also, it doesn’t have huge goodwill sitting in its balance sheet, like AT&T does. The Goodwill results in AT&T’s negative Net Tangible Assets.
SOHU and SNDA both have much higher growth rates than CHL, though they also have higher short ratios.

The most popular one is FXI, which owns 25 mature, state-owned and too-big-to-fail Chinese companies listed in Hong Kong.
Small Cap
Superior growth usually comes from small to mid-cap stocks. I lowered the criteria to include any profitable Chinese stocks with a market cap greater than $100 million. Jinpan International Ltd. (JST) engages in the design and manufacture of cast resin transformers for voltage distribution equipment in China. Its P/E is 9, PEG is 0.56, debt/operation cash flow is less than 1, and short ratio is very low. However, the market cap is only $250M.
Conclusion
Investors usually have short-term memories. We seem to be driven by the most recent market rally, conveniently forgetting the lessons of last year. Hot markets eventually cool, and most investors don't catch on until it's too late.
Investors do have a habit of buying hot stocks. If a stock can be up 400% over the last 12 months, it could also be down 75% in the next 52 weeks. However, if you can tolerate this kind of risk, and have a very long invest horizon, you might want to consider these profitable and still relatively inexpensive Chinese companies presented above.
