Topic: International Stocks — China
Jul. 27 2015, 09:29 AM ET - by VF member bz1516 (2482 gold star (click for information on feedback))

China stock market rout is bad, but not sure what it means for us?

An 8.5% down day in China means most of the stocks there dropped the 10% daily limit. It also means they are likely to open lower tomorrow since the majority of the market could not drop more than the limit today. When you add in the fact that small retail investors make up the bulk of the market, and these unsophisticated investors are apt to react irrationally, they could easily get spooked and just avoid the market, further removing demand.

As bad as losing money in the market sounds it could even get worse as these same small investors start to spend less in the real economy, thus reversing some of the gains made in the consumer sector the past several years. The stock market can not only affect the desire to spend, but also it reflects some of the serious economic issues already in place in the economy. It is not a stretch looking at the economic numbers, commodity prices and the market to expect a serious recession in China.

The current situation also makes one think about the possibility of a depression in China, though that is far from the base case. The question for US investors though is how does all this affect us?

I don't think it has a big effect on our economy as trade with China is a small part of our GDP. Maybe it reduces our GDP by a few tenths of 1%.

Another way it can affect us is through earnings of Chinese subsidiaries of large US companies. KFC comes to mind here. Many US companies earn income in China, but only a few earn large portions of their income there. So that is something that has to be examined on a case by case basis.

A slowdown in China of course affects commodities prices which leads to further reduced earnings of mining and oil & gas companies, but that has been going on already for some time.

Looking for insight and analysis shared by fellow self directed investors? You've come to the right place! ValueForum is the web's best community forum for unvarnished, trusted, up-to-the-minute thinking on investments. What you just read is a "public post" but most posts including comments and replies, are available only to members.

Imagine walking into a secluded room where some of the smartest, most successful investors in America are gathered — self-directed investors and hedge fund managers alike — to share investing ideas.

In this private setting, members of this exclusive group are able to share honest opinions and unfiltered insights on stocks, bonds, ETFs, options, Forex and more. There's also a healthy amount of respectful debate as they bandy ideas about. And in the end, everyone is the richer for it.

That kind of exchange is exactly what happens every day here on ValueForum.com, the Internet's premier investing community.

Membership in this private online community is strictly limited — just 1500 investors will be admitted — but today you are in line to be one of them.

Before I tell you about all the member benefits waiting for you, I want to make one thing clear: ValueForum.com is nothing like the big free public investment boards out there.

We started ValueForum.com so that serious investors could get away from the noise, the shills and the shouting that plague public stock message boards.

That's why our community is founded on a few simple rules that keep the quality of our content and our members very high...

  • Privacy is paramount and confidentiality strictly enforced. Members are forbidden from sharing or reposting any members-only ValueForum.com content; violators forfeit membership.

  • Multiple aliases are not permitted (behind every screen name is a member profile so you can get to know your fellow members — and many have become lifelong friends).

  • No unsolicited or unauthorized advertising or product selling is allowed.

  • Robust debates are encouraged, but respect and common courtesy are expected with fighting and name-calling disallowed.

  • Violators forfeit membership.

And it works. As one of our long-time members explains:

"ValueForum gives you the chance to learn from people who aren't trying to sell you anything, just willing to give away their sincere thoughts. I have made a lot of money from information on VF."

So whether you are looking for new stock ideas or new ways to boost your investment income with REITs, BDCs, high-yield bonds, closed-end funds, you'll be thrilled at the constant flow of reliable ideas and analysis.

As another of our members going by the handle of oldart will tell you...

"No friend, no book, no broker, no advisor, no expert has ever provided a tenth what I am able to find here. The best money I have EVER spent is for membership."

WHAT YOU GET

Your ValueForum.com membership gives you unlimited access to:

  • A steady stream of top-notch investment ideas.

  • Invaluable insights and analysis on stocks, bonds, REITs, BDCs, and more.

  • Over 100 message board topics to help you focus on the areas that interest you most.

  • The chance to share your investment ideas and have them thoroughly vetted by your ValueForum peers before you make a move.

  • The ValueForum.com stock rating system with more than 1,000 rated stocks.

And yet another member (known on ValueForum as "beetlebomb") tells all willing to listen:
"The cost of ValueForum is a pittance compared to the benefits you will receive. If you are a serious investor who is tired of being fleeced by the Wall Street crowd, I highly recommend you join VF on a trial basis and experience its benefits first hand."

The best way to see what ValueForum.com can do for you is to let you take it for a test drive.

That's why we're offering a special one week "guest pass" that lets you experience the full force of ValueForum.com for just $7.

$7 for access to a new investing tool that can be truly life changing. It was for this member, who goes by "stlbeerman"

" VF has really changed my life and made me more wealthy than I ever expected."

It's lively and engaging, but like Las Vegas, what goes on inside ValueForum stays inside ValueForum — the public post you just read is the exception, not the norm. See for yourself before our remaining memberships are claimed and it's too late!

You can get started now with your seven day guest pass (just $7) if you'd like, or, grab a 3, 6, or 12 month pass here.
