China Is Slowing Down But There Are Interesting Sectors To Invest

They have been trying to slow things down, they had inflation, they had a property bubble and the government is rightly trying to slow things down.Sme of their customers are slowing down, Europe, etcetera. So, yes, things are changing in China, they have been slowing down.

I have been buying Chinese shares for the past year. I did not buy Chinese stocks between 2008 and 2013. But the government came down with a list of the parts of the Chinese economy they are going to emphasize, where they are going to billions of dollars emphasizing these parts of the economy. So I have been buying shares in those sectors of the Chinese economy.

U.S Stocks Vs. Japanese Stocks

The Japanese stock market is down 60 percent from its all time highs. The U.S. stock market is making all time highs. The Japanese stock market is certainly cheaper on an historical basis, on an absolute basis, on a relative basis. You have to be worried about the currency. You have to understand the currency because it is being destroyed. But if you hedge your positions, you might make some money.
