Red Chips.

The China market has been growing at a very fast pace for the past years, and while their market is gradually opening up, the China Market even took over the Japanese Market as the worlds second largest market; and fund managers from across the world are injecting money into the China market as a form of funds, or direct investment.

In fact, other than inflow of capital into the China market, many China based companies are actually listing in stocks market away from China, and these stocks are called the “Red-Chips”. This is partially due to China has a nick name internationally as “Red China”, thus Chinese Companies listed in foreign countries are called “Red-Chip”. There were a few “Red-chips” listed in Malaysia, and these companies are designers and manufacturers of sports apparel and sports related products, and they have factories in China.

As shown on chart 1, price of XinQuan was supported at RM 1.31 level and consolidated there for about 3 months.

As indicated by A, although XinQuan attempted to break away from the downtrend, due to the lack of volume, the break out was not sustainable, and price of XinQuan returned to below the 14, 21, 31 EMA, and even broken below the RM1.31 support level, and resumed its downtrend, with the 14, 21, 31 EMA still serving as the dynamic resistance.

As indicated by B, price of XinQuan found a temporary support at RM 1.06 level and rebounded. But then again, no substantial increased of volume, and the rebound has failed to push the price away from its downtrend. If price should break below the RM 1.06 support, it would be making another new low, thus suggesting that the downtrend is still intact. Therefore, it is a signal to cut-loss.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, the above 3 “red-chips” has been trending down since the were listed, and until now, no signs of a reversal yet. Despite their earning is showing a positive result, the only logical reason for one to hold on to their stocks is capital appreciation. Therefore, if there is no capital appreciation, and yet there is no historical proven data showing that these companies are worth holding for long term, one should find little reason to invest in these counters.
