A Bull Run in the DarkJames Areddy wrote a good article in today’s WSJ called “China’s Stock Rally Stirs
Investor Appetite for Data.”
Traditionally wary of independent prognosticators, the ruling Communist Party has discouraged stock-market predictions since trading began in China 16 years ago. As a result, brokerage analysts and mutual-fund managers peddle bland advice unlikely to cause ripples — or damage their reputations.
Interpreting market events is tough for China’s investors. Personal finance columns in the tightly controlled media are often unsigned views on single stocks, while on-the-air commentators duck the specifics on the big trends by referring instead to historic charts, public opinion polls and financial news from overseas.
“We don’t encourage predictions,” says Dai Biao, a spokesman for the China Securities Regulatory Commission. Fuzzy warnings in the country’s Securities Law outline fines for anyone “fabricating and disseminating false information that affects securities trading.”
Regulators are set to allow investors to “day trade” and use borrowed money to buy stocks starting July 1.
Wall Street experts aren’t much use in China because few have licenses to dispense retail investment advice.
Increasingly seduced by this year’s gains, individual Chinese are once again crowding into smoky brokerage halls like the Shanghai Securities outlet. With plastic chairs set in front of massive electronic boards that flash red for rising stocks and green for falling ones, the brokerages are set up like off-track-betting parlors for horse races and don’t offer clients much research. Instead, investors, who applied for 200,000 new accounts in April, stand two and three deep at terminals that allow them to chart stock movement, swap advice and input trades themselves.
For individuals tempted to jump in now, people like 67-year-old Tao Liangui seem like the best diviners of trends. Mr. Tao sits most trading sessions near the busy new-client desk at an outlet of Shanghai Securities Ltd., and — for no fee — shows novice investors how to read stock charts and make smart picks.
Amateur analysts like Mr. Tao can be found in many such brokerage halls around China, which number in the thousands. His latest trading strategy isn’t scientific. Mr. Tao puts faith in a glossy calendar torn from an investment magazine last year that he keeps folded in his waist-belt. Certain dates are marked as “pivot points” for China’s markets, though the publisher left it up to investors to guess whether the expected market move is up or down. In the current trend, Mr. Tao figures the next one is a likely bullish move. “There will be a good month followed by three falling months,” he says.
His guess is as good as the next guy’s!

Andy Xie, Master of RedundanciesIt’s painful to read anything by Morgan Stanley’s man in Hong Kong, Andy Xie, because his writing is so repetitive. He recently wrote a post called Fixing the Property Market, which clocked in at around 1,700 words. The amazing thing is he actually wrote between 600 and 800 words and repeated himself two to three times.
“When the central government expresses serious alarm, local governments try to comply with the spirit and letter of the central government instructions.”
Later:
“Local governments tend to comply with the letter and spirit of central government instructions when the central government focuses on an issue.”
Another:
One possibility would be to set capital gains tax at, say, 80% for sales within the first year of purchase and reduce this by ten percentage points for every extra year of ownership.
Later:
I think China would benefit from the introduction of an 80% capital gains tax for property sales within the first year of ownership, with decreases of ten percentage points for every extra year of ownership until the rate reaches zero.
You can see he doesn’t just repeat himself, he repeats idiotic ideas like an 80% capital gains tax.
He also writes sentences like this one:
“Considering the political gravity attached to the issue, policy development in the coming days should be sufficient to cool the housing market for the time being, in my view.”
Ack! Morgan Stanley must have full-time editors who can help.

Can You Commit to Those Parameters?From The Economist Style Guide:
Since clichés usually appeal to people who do not have the energy to pick their own words, they are often found in the wooden prose of bureaucrats, academics, and businessmen.
“At this moment in time, with all due respect, let me take this window of opportunity to share with you a few clichés that some people may find particularly irritating. Basically, I would have to begin by kick-starting the economy, on a level playing-field, of course, and then, going forward, I would want to give 110% to the creation of a global footprint before cherry-picking the co-workers to empower the underprivileged, motivate the on-train team and craft an exciting public space, not forgetting that, if the infrastructure is not to find itself between a rock and a hard place, at the end of the day, we shall have to get networking and engage in some blue-sky thinking to push the envelope way beyond even our usual out-of-the-box metrics.”
