iHuman - A stock just breaking out in stage 2iHuman in FY2022 put its first ever profitable financial year. On top of this, despite rough macro conditions in #china, the company has been able to grow its revenue on an YoY basis.
Margins remains strong and with the reopening of China, earnings momentum is very likely to come back again. Gross margins are at 70%.
After a series of quarterly NI losses, they have put in 4 consecutive quarters of positive growth.
Liquidity position has improved rapidly (Current ratio from 2018 to 2022 has grown from 0.22 to 2.19).
They barely have any debt and their cash per share is 2.86 and book value of 2.10 as of Dec 2022.
Adjust cash per share and you are buying this stock for 90cents.
The stocks PE is 8.67x while its industry PE is 18x.
Technically, the stock is still a fresh stage 2. A couple of sessions back, IH managed to breakout above its AVWAP from the most recent high on strong volume. With the recent throwback on very low volume, a long entry with a stop below 3.03 seems a solid trade.
Target price is around 5.00 - 5.30 assuming prices have a successful breakout above 4.30 - With a risk of 73c and a target worth 154c, the trade provides a R/R of 1:2.11
Chinastocks
VIPS (Long) - Undervalued Outperforming Chinese GemFundamentals
The Chinese market has not performed rather well year-to-date, which makes the price action of VIPS that more impressive .
Despite the wider market struggling, the firm showed strong growth last year with 35% growth in earnings. The recovering Chinese market might propel even more demand (which is the Chinese government actively supporting) and of which NYSE:VIPS would be one of the major beneficiaries
The company is also quite undervalued with P/E = 9.8 and P/S = 0.6
The fundamentals are pristine with negligible amount of debt and high returns on equity and assets
The market is smelling internal strength and earnings next week might serve as a perfect propellent to rocket the stock out of the base
Technicals
The company has been basing and creating a rounding base since the start of the year
My main selling point is the impressive relative strength . While the Chinese tech market has been deteriorating since the start of the year, VIPS has been standing strong, buying back every possible breakdown. I have been actively watching price action on this stock for two months and investors are actively buying any potential downside.
Relative strength against AMEX:KWEB is shown at the bottom of the chart, clearly pointing higher; RSI is breaking above 60; MACD is breaking out; stochastics are showing strength and the A/D line has been strengthening throughout the basing process
Overall, the pattern very much looks like a bull flag about to break out
Trade
One option is to enter now and catch a perfect buy point, but then there is a need to risk a negative earnings surprise (I chose this option and entered today)
Or wait until after the earnings which would be safer but risking a worse buying point; decision is up to your risk appetite

SSE Composite Index WCA - Classic Rectangle Introduction:
Hello and thank you for taking the time to read my post. Today, we analyze the SSE Composite Index on the weekly scale, focusing on a classic price pattern called the "Rectangle Pattern." The SSE Composite Index is the most important stock index in China, excluding Hong Kong. It is a price index weighted by market capitalization and includes all public companies listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange. The index is published by the China Securities Index Company. Analyzing an index helps enormously with top-down approaches, as it provides a broader perspective of the market and allows investors to gauge the overall sentiment before diving into individual stocks.
Rectangle Pattern:
The rectangle pattern is a chart pattern formed when the price of an asset moves between two parallel horizontal lines—representing support and resistance levels—over a period of time. In essence, it reflects a consolidation phase where the market is undecided about the direction of the trend.
Remember, this is just a brief introduction to the technical aspects of the rectangle pattern. As you delve deeper into this topic, you'll discover more nuances and practical applications that can enhance your trading strategies.
Additional Analysis:
On the SSE Composite Index chart, we can observe some fascinating insights. The general trend was downward until 25/04/2022, which changed with the formation of a hammer. Since then, the price has been bound within a range, which is depicted as a classic rectangle pattern. This pattern has been forming for 423 days, which is notable because the longer a pattern remains consistent, the higher the probability that the subsequent breakout will be volatile.
The support of the range is at 2890, while the resistance is at 3400. Currently, the price is above the 200 EMA, making a long entry more attractive. We will closely monitor the price pattern and wait for a break above 3400 while examining the sectors or stocks from the SSE Composite Index more closely. The next potential resistance after 3400 would be 3720.
Top-Down Approach Significance:
A top-down approach is a method that investors use to analyze the market, beginning with a broad overview and then narrowing down to individual stocks. This method helps investors identify the overall market sentiment and trends, allowing them to make more informed decisions when selecting stocks within specific sectors or industries. Analyzing the SSE Composite Index, as shown in this post, provides a valuable starting point for investors looking to employ a top-down approach in their decision-making process.
Conclusion:
The SSE Composite Index weekly chart showcases a classic Rectangle Pattern, reflecting a consolidation phase in the market. By closely monitoring the support and resistance levels, as well as the general trend, traders can be better prepared for any potential price action in the future. Utilizing a top-down approach enables investors to gain a broader perspective and make more informed decisions when selecting stocks. As always, it's essential to consider risk management and proper position sizing when trading based on chart patterns.

NIO is on a bounceNIO has descended into its demand zone as shown on the 2H Chart.
It is now above the POC line of the near-term volume profile.
I will take a trade here setting a stop loss of 7.33 below the near-term high
volume area. The first target will be 7.6 which is approximately the anchored
VWAP ( thick black line ) confluent with the POC line of the intermediate
term volume profile to take half the profits. The remainder of the position
will target 8.9 which is just below the selling volume shelf at 9.0.
Tipranks has a longer term target of 14 ( see the link below)

Dollar vs Yuan Divergence US Dollar vs Yuan or US Dollar vs Offshore Yuan, technically they are establishing divergence. Above chart is my projection in time to come.
When Dollar vs Yuan moves lower, this means we are seeing a weaker Dollar and a stronger Yuan. See the following link for its video version.
The Chinese yuan, also known as RMB, is the official currency of China. It is used both onshore in mainland China and offshore in international markets.
The offshore yuan, also known as the CNH (Chinese yuan - Hong Kong), is the version of the yuan that is traded outside of mainland China. It is traded in offshore financial centers, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and London. The offshore yuan is not subject to the same restrictions and regulations as the onshore yuan.
The main difference between the onshore and offshore yuan is that the onshore yuan is subject to capital controls imposed by the Chinese government, while the offshore yuan is not subject to these same restrictions. This means that the offshore yuan is more freely tradable and can be used for a wider range of international transactions, such as international trade and investment, while the onshore yuan is more restricted in its use.

'Can China’s Long-Term Growth Rate Exceed 2–3 Percent?' SummaryThis is a summary of Michael Pettis' 'Can China’s Long-Term Growth Rate Exceed 2–3 Percent?' carnegieendowment.org
As the text was quite long, this summarizes some critical points.
China's high investment share of GDP and growing debt burden are interrelated, stemming from an investment-driven growth model that began in the 1980s when the country needed significant investment in infrastructure, urban property development, and manufacturing facilities. High domestic investment required high domestic savings, leading to a rapid savings increase by constraining household consumption and income growth. Policymakers now recognize the need to rebalance China's economy towards domestic consumption.
High investment levels initially benefited the Chinese economy, as productive investment grew at the fastest pace in history. However, a successful development model should make itself obsolete, and China has closed the gap between its actual investment level and the level its businesses and workers can productively absorb. As productivity benefits of additional investment decline, more investment begins to generate less economic value than the value of employed resources. This can be observed in China's increasing debt numbers.
Countries that followed this growth model experienced a period of rapid, sustainable growth with stable debt levels, followed by a period of rapid, unsustainable growth driven by a surging debt burden. China entered this phase around fifteen years ago. Therefore, the investment share of China's GDP must decline sharply in the next few years, as the conditions that made high investment levels sustainable no longer exist. Historical precedents suggest that reducing the investment share of GDP to a sustainable level is better for the economy's long-term health, growth, and stability.
In this context, rebalancing the Chinese economy will require significant adjustments in its economic structure. Beijing must focus on boosting domestic consumption, though this would likely result in a decline in China's annual GDP growth to around 2-3 percent for many years. The current investment share of GDP is extraordinarily high, making it difficult to reduce it without significantly affecting overall economic activity.
Policymakers in Beijing have increasingly called for an expansion in the role of consumption, but there are significant political constraints in implementing such policies. Rebalancing would require consumption to grow faster than GDP and GDP to grow faster than investment. This implies transferring income from governments and businesses to households, a process that has not yet seen concrete proposals.
The decline in growth will be unevenly distributed, with local governments bearing the brunt of the adjustment while ordinary Chinese people experience less impact. This also means that sectors of the global economy that depend on Chinese investment growth will be more affected, while those reliant on Chinese consumption will be less impacted.
China's investment share of GDP currently stands at around 42-44 percent, which is unsustainable in the long run. For the purposes of this analysis, it is assumed that China should reduce its investment share to 30 percent over ten years, a level typical of rapidly developing economies. As investment declines, the consumption share of GDP must rise.
Michael presents five scenarios under which China can rebalance its economy:
A. Rebalance with a surge in consumption: China's consumption would need to grow by 6-7% annually, while investment grows by 0-1% annually, resulting in a GDP growth rate of 4% over ten years. However, this requires politically difficult income transfers from local governments and wealthy individuals to households.
B. Rebalance while maintaining current consumption growth rates: Consumption growth would remain at 3-4%, with investment contracting by 1-2% annually. This would lead to an average annual GDP growth rate of 1.5% over ten years.
C. Rebalance with a sharp decline in consumption growth: If consumption growth drops to 1-2% annually, the investment must decline by nearly 3% annually, leading to flat GDP growth.
D. Rebalance with a sharp contraction in GDP: This scenario involves a short-term, severe GDP contraction but is considered politically disruptive and unlikely.
E. Rebalance over a much extended period: If China takes 15-20 years to rebalance, with consumption growth at 3-4% annually, GDP growth will drop to 2% and 2.5%, respectively.
Key points include the limited ways China can rebalance, the difficulty in maintaining a high investment share indefinitely, and the necessity of a surge in consumption growth for a more balanced economy. Rebalancing will involve slower GDP growth without faster consumption growth, driven by significant and politically challenging income transfers.
In conclusion, China's rebalancing process will require significant adjustments in its economic structure. The country must reduce its reliance on investment and increase the role of consumption in driving growth. However, the political constraints and the impact on various sectors of the economy make this a challenging task for policymakers. The five scenarios presented illustrate the complexities of the rebalancing process and emphasize the need for a well-thought-out and carefully executed strategy.
China's future economic health depends on its ability to navigate these challenges and transition to a more sustainable growth model. Beijing must strike a delicate balance between addressing political constraints and implementing policies that promote consumption growth while minimizing the negative impacts on various sectors and local governments.
Moreover, the global economy is intricately connected to China's growth trajectory. As China undertakes the rebalancing process, the repercussions will be felt in sectors reliant on Chinese investment and consumption. Businesses and governments worldwide must closely monitor the situation and adapt to these changes.
This analysis highlights the importance of understanding the complexities of China's rebalancing process and its implications for the Chinese and global economies. As China grapples with these challenges, the world must brace itself for the changes arising from this monumental shift in the world's second-largest economy. Only time will tell if China's rebalancing efforts will successfully pave the way for a more stable and sustainable economic future.

Hang Seng bounced strongly! Is the China bull back?Something bullish is happening in China, potentially primarily due to the reopening and all the liquidity injections by the PBoC. China never raised rates while slowly adding liquidity to markets. We saw a significant capitulation when Xi became emperor for life by removing everyone that could potentially cause trouble to him from the CCP, as well as when we first saw the first sanctions on China by the US. It's clear that the US and China are in a cold war, and the US will keep imposing sanctions on China... Many of which might come back to bite it. Now there is talk about capital controls, yet China holds many US bonds and has been part of why inflation stayed low for so long. Of course, China has many issues, but so does the US, and what they both have in common is that they will have to print a ton of money.
What's critical here is that the Hang Seng has been trending lower for a while, especially since China started taking 'back' Hong Kong, but then started bottoming around peak China fears (never reopening + Taiwan invasion). For now, an invasion seems unlikely, and all the concerns about capital controls could not have the result everyone thinks they will. The market is incredibly oversold, and Chinese investors may be forced to repatriate their capital and start investing there.
''The Hang Seng Index can be used as a bellwether for markets worldwide. If the gain in Hang Seng holds, that would be a bullish indicant for markets worldwide. If the low is violated, that would suggest continued decline in other markets as well. We say this because the late January and early February market peaks were a worldwide phenomenon. Stocks, Bonds and Commodities all peaked in tandem, suggesting a shift in the underlying perception of the fundamentals from one of continued growth and declining inflation to one of slower growth or recession accompanied by persistent inflationary pressures.''
Milton W Berg CFA
@BergMilton
I agree with Milton, and to me, this looks special. First, HSI bounced right at the Yearly pivot. The bounce came to a massive rally from the lows, which swept the double top, hit resistance, and had a decent pullback. The bounce straight into the monthly pivot, which usually acts as a magnet. So we have gone from pivot to pivot very quickly. When looking at CN50, we get an extra confirmation that something bullish is happening. Again, massive rally, significant pullback, bounce at support, reclaim yearly pivot, a break above the monthly pivot, slight pullback, and sit right above the monthly pivot. Technically both look bullish to me.
Only a close of 2% below the recent lows would make me think that the market is about to keep going lower. Until then, I assume that both these markets are in a bull market and that China isn't as uninvestable as many make it seem to be. Of course, if you are a US investor, you shouldn't be investing in China, but for most of the rest of the world, China seems fine (for now). They keep getting cheap oil from Russia, they are politically stable (nobody to go against Xi), won't invade Taiwan anytime soon (based on what they saw in Ukraine), and Japan also kept printing and didn't raise rates (capital flows into China)
Buying CN50 at current swing low.CHN50 - 24h expiry - We look to Buy at 13261 (stop at 13101)
Although the bears are in control, the stalling negative momentum indicates a turnaround is possible.
This is positive for short term sentiment and we look to set longs at good risk/reward levels for a further correction higher.
Trading within a Bearish Channel formation.
Our expectation now is for this swing lower to continue towards the bottom of the trend channel, to complete a correction before buyers return.
Although the anticipated move higher is corrective, it does offer ample risk/reward today.
Our profit targets will be 13661 and 13741
Resistance: 13570 / 14235 / 15080
Support: 13110 / 12645 / 12070

BABA Alibaba Options Ahead of EarningsIf you haven`t sold BABA when Charlie Munger did:
or reentered when it was cheaper than the IPO:
Now looking at the BABA Alibaba options chain ahead of earnings , I would buy the $110 strike price Calls with
2023-8-18 expiration date for about
$10.20 premium.
If the options turn out to be profitable Before the earnings release, I would sell at least 50%.
I have chosen that expiration date to allow me to be wrong and not close the position and to have a bigger gain by the expiration date, if BABA Alibaba keeps on climbing.
Looking forward to read your opinion about it.
Cobalt - Long; There is no such thing as a "cobalt mine"Cobalt occurs as a metal mining byproduct - mainly copper, zinc, etc. -, 80% of the world production is centered in the Democratic Republic of the Congo - which is neither democratic nor a republic, or a state. (It's claim to fame is perpetual genocides, an endless civil war, accompanied with abject poverty.)
70% of cobalt refining capacity accompanied with worldwide cobalt mining interests is held by China. In short, the DRC has the cobalt and China owns the DRC.
The market recently became awash with the metal and prices promptly collapsed to multi-year lows. However, ...
... what about the "EV revolution"? ... (Which, I contend, is pure fiction on the scale as it is being imagined or rather, fantasized. But that's a longer story.)
The fundamental factors - i.e. the physics/chemistry - remain the same;
Lithium, the main component in almost every kind of electricity storage apparatus - i.e. batteries - is one of the least energy dense metal in the periodic table of elements. (Look at it's electron configuration and it will be immediately clear.) A pure lithium battery would be as effective as pissing into the wind. I.e. Lithium must be alloyed with something, most commonly with cobalt.
Long story short, there are two (2) potential plays here;
1) Glencore (OTC:GLNCY) - Long; The main chart; Watch for that Double-top at $14, though!
2) China Molybdenum (OTC:CMCLF) - Long; Should one trust the Chinese? ... (Might care to factor that in!)
