China’s Stock Market Outlook

  • By Bill Conerly
  • In Investments
  • 1 comment

Did Alan Greenspan slap his forehead and say, “Conerly’s right this time!” ?

He’s been quoted as saying about the Chinese stock market,  "It is clearly unsustainable.  There is going to be a dramatic contraction at some point."

He probably did not slap his head, but he did echo an earlier post of mine suggesting that China’s stock market is overvalued.

First, let’s offer a few points of perspective:

  • China’s high PE, like that of any market, can be resolved to a more normal level through two possible changes: a falling P, or a rising E.  Don’t ignore that second possibility.
  • A well diversified portfolio has some exposure to China, as well as to other investable sectors that seem stupidly overvalued.  (If you ignore some sectors, and they boom, will you have the emotional stability to not jump in at the peak?)
  • Finally, a well diversified Chinese stock market investment portfolio will almost certainly show a gain over the coming 10 years.

That said, I’m definitely nervous about Chinese stocks.  I think an ideal plan takes some profits now, maybe even a lot of profits now, but leaves the portfolio with some holdings of Chinese stocks.

    I don’t high P/E at least on my Chinese stocks:
    Great Alluminium producer ACH P/E: 9.67 forward: 12.41
    Fast growing Chinese Oil Company PTR that just discovered huge new reserves in Chinese sea has confortable
    P/E: 11.84 forward: 11.88
    Even hi-growth Trina Solar Ltd. (TSL) has a forward P/E: 14.55
    Just Baidu (BIDU), the booming Chinese Serach engine, the only company on Earth that is beating Google’s butt, cannot be cheap:
    Trailing P/E: 96.47
    Forward P/E: 42.07

Bill’s presentation was neatly balanced…rich with content.. and our audience really enjoyed his humor.
Bing Sheldon, SERA Architects
Thank you for a wonderful presentation. Everyone who heard your presentation was impressed with your analysis, and strong command of facts and theory. More importantly, your ability to weave together substance with humor, in a very dynamic way, meant our attendees learned and retained more information than we would have typically expected. You made economics fun and you left our members with powerful insights on trends and issues to consider as they prepare for the future.

Bill is a delight and easy to work with. The client thought he was great and delivered value to their group. I would definitely recommend Bill.
Andrea Gold, Gold Stars Speakers Bureau
We asked Bill Conerly to look at one of the major factors limiting the growth of our business. He pulled together data from a wide range of sources, as well as his own extensive business knowledge, to give us an insight into when conditions would improve and how we could be ready to capitalize on better times. He did so in a straight forward, easy to understand manner. A year later it was clear that things had evolved just as he had forecast. Ever since then he’s been my go-to guy on how the e…
Len Ludwig, former CEO, Vencore Capital LLC
Your presentation was right on the mark. I received more positive comments about you than any other presenter. We would not hesitate to recommend you to others or have you back for an encore performance.
Bob Russell, Oregon Trucking Association
Dr. Bill Conerly opened our Ace Hardware Platinum Retailer Conference by helping our independent small business owners understand the current state of the economy in a straight forward and humorous manner that connected very well with the retailers I spoke with. Dr. Conerly provided information our retailers can use to lead their businesses. He connected with the audience and made a complicated topic understandable.
Mike Berschauer, Ace Hardware Corp
You made a complicated global picture understandable. I have received many favorable comments from those in attendance. I frequently heard comments like ‘Now I understand’ or ‘Wow, now I get it’ and ‘He was great to listen to. Thanks for bringing Bill to our meeting.’

Every time you spoke, we got business.
Chris Rasmussen, Washington Trust Bank, Bank of the Northwest
