KWEB

Plane-Salamander2580

The only time in recent history where Asia led that I noticed was around the Deepseek period where Asia/Hang Seng Tech was the lead for ADRs and ETFs like CQQQ and KWEB. Most times it's just noise, especially Mondays catching up to US' Friday close.

KWEB keeps dropping, but I can't allow myself to buy any more

Impossible-Good-5343

Good write-up on the ETF exposure problem — that's the part most people skip over. Everyone says "just buy China tech" but then buys KWEB which is basically Alibaba, Tencent and JD getting hammered by regulation while the actual AI infrastructure buildout happens in A-shares they can't even access. The Cambrico play is interesting but I'd be careful with the revenue jump — going from loss-making to 6-7B yuan guided in one year on the back of what is essentially a government mandate to use domestic chips is not the same as organic demand. If the political wind shifts or Nvidia gets an export waiver, that revenue evaporates fast. The real DeepSeek thesis to me isn't "buy Chinese AI stocks." It's that efficiency breakthroughs compress the entire AI cost curve globally, which is deflationary for the picks-and-shovels trade everywhere. That hurts Nvidia long term more than it helps Cambricon.

bobby1128

That's a really good breakdown the way KWEB and CQQQ limit A-share exposure does changes how much investors actually capture from the trend. CNCQ looks interesting, but with the risks you mentioned, I like keeping part of my portfolio in alternatives like fundrise so I'm not leaning too hard on one market. It helps me stay balanced while still following opportunities like these.

advantage_player

What will it take for KWEB to not suck ass? We have the death of the dollar, the AI trade, and all of Europe running into the arms of China and we're down 3% YTD.

ecoburner87

BIDU ran first, BABA next, and KWEB is an ETF that captures them all (and others). Today's US-led retrace probably creates a good entry opportunity for those (and other global stocks)

Compare QQQ with KWEB for last 10yr - assuming Baba, Tencent, Baidu, JD and the rest of Chinese Tech are fully engaged in AI development, so much to catch up to in valuations // assumption: no China invasion in Taiwan, no trade war total escalation between China vs US // long term: think of US led by any other than orange head

KWEB leaps. China china #1

Morely7385

Okay here is a word, If China risk is blocking you from adding, it’s reasonable to rotate-but cap META size and stage the move. I dumped BABA/KWEB in 2022, kept a token Tencent stake, and redeployed into META/GOOG over a few months; no regrets because I slept better and had clearer catalysts. If I were OP: 1) exit JD unless you see a hard catalyst (logistics spin, sustained margin expansion); 2) trim Tencent, keep a 1–2% “tracker” to stay engaged; 3) DCA META in 4–6 tranches, and set a max position (10–15%). Pair META with GOOG or AMZN to avoid single-name risk. Wash sale isn’t an issue here, but use the realized loss to offset gains. Define your sell rules now: if META’s ad growth or engagement rolls over or capex/Reality Labs overwhelms FCF, you cut. I lean Tencent-over-JD if you must hold China (WeChat ads, games, mini-programs), but rotating with size limits is the cleaner path.

> VIX is more than 20 That only applies to S&P 500 index funds. The value of VIX has no bearing on GLD, or TLT, or VNQ, or KWEB, and many other ETFs you can trade options on. > Delta between 0.80 and 0.95 I wouldn't use "between." Something in the neighborhood of 80 delta, but more importantly, whatever delta has the leverage factor you are looking for. Like if you are trying to get 4x leverage on some ETF that is $100/share, you're going to want to pay something around $25/share in premium. That might be 90 delta or that might be 75 delta, depending. If it's 75 delta, that means you are getting 4x leverage on a position that is equivalent to 75 shares. Since that trade meets all your criteria, you shouldn't ignore it just because it's below 80 delta. > Go deep ITM That's already covered by the delta target. In the neighborhood of 80 delta is always deep ITM, by definition. So you can omit this rule. > Expiration date: at least 1 year I don't know why that matters. If you find the perfect trade that is only 11 months to expiration, are you going to ignore it? It's more important to pay for an expiration you can afford and that also gives your trade enough runway to reach its profit target. Hard-and-fast arbitrary rules like "> 1 year" are silly. > Liquidity: highly liquid stocks or ETFs. This allow you to easily enter and exit. To be clear, it's not the liquidity of the *shares* that matters, it's the liquidity of the option contracts. And all the previous rules, like 80 delta, contradict this rule. You are rarely going to find 80 delta and 1 year+ calls that are highly liquid. > IV (Implied Volatility): Should be low to get better prices. How low? This should REPLACE that VIX rule, since it is the more general case of the VIX rule and applies to all ETFs, not just S&P 500 ETFs. How low? That's a topic of active debate in the option trading community, but a general rule of thumb is that, ideally, present IV should be lower than the 52-week trailing average IV. Or you can use IV Rank of less than 50% or IV Percentile of less than 50%, which are just slightly different ways to look at trailing 52-week averages.

Yes, KWEB seems to be the best. Take a look at BABA. It is the Amazon of China. It has a worldwide cloud business. Of course, China is risky, I would recommend harvesting some of your profits, if you have some.

GringottsWizardBank

KWEB is great. Even with the run that some of the names have had they are still at bargain prices. Sentiment is already changing and as it continues this should see some good appreciation.

I think KWEB is a safe way to get tech exposure - chart looks great too

Wiscoguy1982

BABA and KWEB are just a solid play.

dimethylhyperspace

Probably going to buy calls on BABA/FXI/KWEB for the 🥭/Xi meeting on Thursday. They're probably gonna reach a deal to lower tarriffs and hopefully it won't be a sell the news situation

Accomplished_Owl1338

In case of Thailand it is not just the country instability or politics, but the corruption. I saw that your wife is Thai so I'll give you an example: she can easily hire a lawyer and bribe a few officials and transfer all your assets in the country to her, leaving you destitute. I am not saying that she will, but she EASILY can, and that is a HUGE risk. I am not in a position to advise you, but I would look for places where you can keep your assets without having to worry if they are going to be confiscated or stolen. With a 5M net worth I would split it across a few different locations at least. Again, places like Singapore, Hong Kong, UAE, Cayman Islands, etc. You can then open a brokerage account or invest directly with your local bank in US stocks and ETFs. Those ETFs can help you split your risk across different regions (ie KWEB for China), but again, that requires a level of knowledge you admit not having. Another important point is that you seem fixated on the 10% average return, but that is not what any advisor would recommend you withdraw every year. If you have 700k for retirement you should not be withdrawing more than 4% a year (possibly no more than 2.5% which means 1.4k a month - not a lot of money, even for Thailand) because your 700k will be losing its purchase power to inflation over the years and in a decade or so you would have the equivalent to 500k in today's money if you are withdrawing all the profit from the investments (those 10%). That's why you want to invest in something that will return at least your yearly withdrawals + inflation (eg 2.5% + 3%).

sharpetwo

Let's not mix things here; IF you have a bull thesis on KWEB, spot vol correlation will help (somewhat you still fighting the vrp potentially and therefore the cost of carry). Spot vol is not a trend detector.

Playful-Emu8757

so strange! I bought KWEB a while back and its down. But i bought shares so i guess i could pivot to options

sharpetwo

You need volatility to expand as the asset goes up, otherwise you’re just long direction with nothing to show for the swings. For a lot of tech names right now (TSLA, INTC, OKTA), spot and vol are positively correlated. You also have chinese stocks right now but for more structural reasons and the type of products that are extremely popular over there. So if you think something like KWEB (tech chinese companies etf) is good value, it aligns nicely with what you are trying to do. Good luck.

There were many stocks that got hit thet should not have gotten hit. It it tanks again Monday morning I will be putting money to work. The way I look at it this is Trumps way of beginning a negotiation. He always goes extreme then comes to a more moderate position. XI will basically ignore him because he holds the cards, rare earths. The US is about 12% of China's exports. They have already made provisions to supply their AI ambitions with their own chips. Bidu, Baba and KWEB all got hit had Friday. If it happens again, buy, buy, buy.

29InchWaistOrStarve

Looking at going long KWEB or FXI on Wednesday or Thursday next week if we start to bottom. I imagine Tuesday is going to be pretty bad

29InchWaistOrStarve

I’d say wait and see if this correction continues to spill over into Tuesday and Wednesday (probably will) after that long to go long KWEB or FXI.

Moirailogist

Wow I don’t know I will get a different tax document for ARLP or XFIR. So far I am only holding some options on ARLP since the implied volatility is low. I don’t want to report tax to more states. Natural gas seems to be a more complicated topic, but I bet some on EQT, EXE and CNX calls. Comparatively, coal industry is much smaller and I feel it can have an outsized gain. Right now I am 1/3 in KWEB/BABA, 1/3 in energy, and 1/3 in all kinds of speculatively Trump mining stocks. Lol

TheInkDon1

Hey there, I see this all the time and sometimes comment on it: the old "missed out while I was waiting on a magical entry point" dilemma. You won't like this much, but what if you just looked at charts, saw they were going up, and wanted to get in on some of that action? Like literally, "That chart is going up, why don't I buy some of that?" Performance-chasing, momentum investing, trend-following, whatever you want to call it, [momentum in equities persists](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0927538X18303998?via%3Dihub#preview-section-references). But it actually works better with ETFs, being baskets of stocks in the same market or sector or whatever. And you named one of them, KWEB. Some others with options are ASHR, CNYA, CHIQ, ECNS, FXI, GXC, & MCHI. What I would do is plot 3 of those against each other and pick the 'best' one based on the price action. Plot 3 more, pick 1. Then the last 2, pick 1. That gives you 3 'best' of their group. Maybe plot those 3 against each other and pick the 'very' best one. Or probably better: invest in all 3. And if you think ETFs are boring, figure out the leverage that a 1-year, 80-delta Call on any of those tickers gives you. And don't wait for "an entry point," other than maybe a down day; but when you have cash, deploy it. Don't you wish now you'd just jumped into any of the tickers you named when they first came to your attention? Good luck!

Only_Pilot_284

I’m watching a few Chinese stocks too, especially BABA and 0700. I mostly track them through moomoo, since it gives access to HK and CN markets directly from one platform, which makes it a lot easier to monitor. They also have pretty detailed financials and live news updates, so it’s helpful for keeping up with all the macro noise around these names. If you’re new, might be worth starting with ETFs like KWEB or CQQQ just to spread the risk a bit.

WillyLoman1980

Great lessons learned from your Chinese stock experience. Your strategy of using US tech stocks with Chinese market exposure (QCOM, Apple) is smart risk management. ETFs like KWEB and FXI are definitely safer than individual stock picks. The 30% trailing stop loss is a solid risk control technique. Sounds like you've turned a tough loss into valuable investing wisdom.

Qrewpt

I bought the KWEB China Tech ETF a while ago as a contrarian bet. The Chinese stocks within the index were being valued 25-50% that of their US counterparts. The index itself would have needed to 3.5x to reach its previous peak. So the fact that there is some tension between the US and China does introduce some risk for the overall stock market, and for Chinese listings in the US, for example the US gov has threatened to delist Chinese ADRs. KWEB does also have the benefit of holding most of their shares directly, rather than holding ADRs. I watched KWEB to continue to decline in value for a while after I bought it, typical, then more recently China has announced several programs to try to stimulate local markets and consumption. Since then Chinese stocks have done really well and they seem to have caught some momentum, as long as geopolitics stays out of the way there seems to be plenty of room still for them to continue to run. So far this very has worked well, but sometimes they don't, so just make sure to diversify. Holding 6-15 buckets within your portfolio, depending on your tolerance and composition of each bucket. The more uncorrelated the bucket the better. Diversifying above 15 has diminishing returns. You may want to be more concentrated owning index funds where the holdings are already diversified...however Indexes can become overvalued too, like the S&P500, risking negative or low expected forward returns for a very long time.

InquisitorCOC

At this juncture, some exposures to Chinese stocks are needed I personally would stick to ETFs such as $ASHR (Shanghai Index) and $FXI (Chinese stocks traded in HK). $KWEB is ok too, but only focuses on one sector For individual stocks, Tencent is absolutely my top pick. Xiaomi's (1810) CEO Lei Jun is very impressive, but the market knows that and the stock is very expensive

Ancient-Stock-3261

Yeah, Chinese names can be a real minefield — the CCP risk premium is no joke. Safer way to get that exposure is exactly what you said: U.S. tech with China revenue streams or broad ETFs like KWEB/FXI. I’ve seen too many folks blow up going heavy on single tickers like BABA, risk mgmt > stock picking every time.
