Is China the Land of the Setting Sun?
Japan, long called the Land of the Rising Sun, made me wonder what we, as investors, should be calling China (FXI). China’s major indices are still down 25-30% this year alone. We know all the main excuses: tariffs from the US and excessive lending/credit bubble in China are leading to slower growth. Take a look a the relative performance this year between the S&P 500 (SPY) and the FXI, a popular large cap Chinese ETF.

3 Stocks That Are Up or Down Over 7% in Early Trading
The market is posting a slight comeback from yesterday’s sell-off with the S&P 500 Index (SPY) up about 0.5% and the Nasdaq Composite Index (QQQ) up just over 1% in early trading. While the weakness in eBay’s stock makes sense, it now trades more than 37% below its 52-week high and trades at very attractive valuations, so I think the reward far outweighs the risk at this point and I would consider buying the stock today.

U.S. midterms a mere blip on equity options traders' radar
Less than a month before the U.S. congressional elections, data suggests equity options traders do not view the election as a big catalyst for setting the direction of U.S. stock market in the immediate aftermath of the vote results.
