If you believe the Chinese market is about to crash, you should probably put all your money in a shoebox and not watch. However, Dean LeBaron, Chairman Batterymarch Financial Management recently said;
"Opportunities in China are unique, the size of China is unique, and the pace of activity that I have seen in the last 12 years is unique. China has the opportunity to experience tremendous growth in its stock markets, greater, perhaps, than in the case of my country, the United States. For instance, it is reported by some that the growth in Shenzhen, during each of the last 12 years, has been 45%. The U.S. stock market is fully advanced and will not experience that same degree of absolute growth. Regardless of the current difficulties of its stock markets, if China is able to maintain the pace of its economic growth, the future of the Chinese stock markets is exceedingly bright."
Markets go up & down over time, but generally rise at 10-12% long-term. The Chinese market will likely average annual returns of 25-30% over the next 3-7 years, but you are under no obligation to participate! China is not going to "go away"! |

There are several options open to you. CAF is a closed end fund investing in A shares. Those are considered to be the most vulnerable to a market sellof. You might short a few thousand shares. Very risky. The stock is up 100% in the last year or so. Current short interest is about 440,000 shares.
A somewhat less risky strategy is to buy puts on one of the 3 Chinese index funds---FXI, PGJ, or GXC. With that option at least your risk is known.
FXI has a short interest of 8 million shares. 16 million outstanding.
PGJ has a short interest of 318,000 out of 4,800,000 outstanding.
GXC is too new to have meaningful data.
However, if there is a collapse, you will get the most bang for your buck out of CAF.
The two most popular puts on FXI are the July 125 at 0.53 and July 130 at 1.20. Stock trades at 136 +-. A month ago it was trading at about 115. |

If the Chinese stock market implodes all other markets will experience a severe downturn as well. Get out of all stocks and put your money in cash. Then after it implodes you can buy stocks cheap and make a killing.
The problem with this action is that if you are wrong you lost out on a big opportunity to profit from a growing market. Market timers are usually wrong.
I don't agree with shorting the market because the possibility of quickly loosing a lot of money is too great. You need to be very certain of your timing if you try that. |

Simplest way is to short FXI, an ETF that holds 25 Chinese stocks. |

If it's more than a feeling, group the stocks according to weakness and short accordingly. |

Sell short FXI. |
