Baidu (BIDU) shares are slumping after the company saw profits decline last quarter. Brendan Ahern of Kraneshares said that the company's outlook is being hurt by the lack of stimulus and growth in the Chinese economy. White the stock is cheap, Ahern thinks there are other Chinese-based stocks like Alibaba (BABA) and Tencent (TCEHY) that may be better positioned until a trade deal with the U.S. is reached.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

This week, Ian is joined by Brendan Ahern, CIO at KraneShares, for a discussion on China.
On this week's Stansberry Investor Hour, Dan and Corey welcome Brendan Ahern to the show. Brendan is the chief investment officer at asset manager KraneShares. The company provides investors access to Chinese companies, climate investments, and uncorrelated assets through exchange-traded funds. Brendan kicks off the show by describing the basics of KraneShares and its involvement in Chinese markets. He discusses the recent surge in Chinese stocks and gives context for what's driving it. As Brendan explains, the country is focused on stabilizing real estate prices and stimulating the broader economy. By lowering interest rates and announcing loads of subsidies that will benefit its citizens, the government can increase domestic consumption at a crucial time. (0:43) Next, Brendan talks about China's negative reputation due to Western disinformation and political rhetoric. As almost all U.S. investors are implicitly involved with China, and as the majority of Western companies outsource to China, our economy depends on the foreign nation. Brendan also discusses the influence U.S. investors have had on Chinese companies in regard to corporate governance... billionaire hedge-fund manager David Tepper going all-in on China... and why he believes China won't invade Taiwan. (18:11) Finally, Brendan breaks down the growth prospects for China today and shares his thoughts on the U.S. moving to produce more semiconductors domestically. After, he discusses today's data-driven world and the new ways this data is collected by research firms. KraneShares is able to leverage this data in turn and be selective about which Chinese companies it gets involved with. As Brendan explains, cooperation with China is both important for investors' portfolio diversification and for a harmonious future. (37:12)

And, Wall Street faces a fresh test this week with March CPI on Wednesday. Rose Advisors at Hightower's Patrick Fruzzetti and Blanke Schein Wealth Management's Robert Schein discuss.
Brendan Ahern is the Chief Investment Officer at KraneShares. Brendan joined KraneShares in 2013. Brendan leads the firm's research and education efforts and actively works with investors on a variety of subjects ranging from asset allocation to trading to articulating the growing influence that index providers hold in the asset management industry.

Brendan is considered a preeminent expert in global financial markets with a particular focus on China. He is a frequent visitor to China and actively maintains daily contact with a deep local research network comprised of investment banks, brokers, and regional and boutique research firms.

Matt Hougan, chief investment officer at Bitwise Asset Management -- the nation's largest crypto index fund manager -- says that cryptocurrency has historically moved in four-year cycles, with a big move upwards followed by a big reset. Last year, when crypto suffered losses bigger than the down market, was the setback; now crypto assets are in the recovery phase -- which he says most investors aren't paying attention to -- setting up "a significant and sustained bull run in crypto." Also on the show, Brendan Ahern, chief investment officer, KraneShares -- the editor of ChinaLastNight.com -- says that a four-year losing streak in China has positioned the market there as a global value play, noting that he thinks many investors are lost in the headlines over trade concerns and focusing portfolios on the "very crowded trade" of U.S. markets rather than eyeing the potential for an economic turnaround/comeback in China. In the Market Call, portfolio manager Brian Mulberry of Zacks Investment Management, talks about the firm's earnings-consistency purview in picking stocks.

Brendan Ahern, chief investment officer at KraneShares, says that any recession or economic downturn in the United States will wind up having spillover effects in China, where the economy is so geared to the West that it is the proverbial 'canary in the coal mine,' because if manufacturing there is slowing and exports are down, it reflects a sluggish economy in the U.S. and Europe. He sees improved potential for China and emerging markets, provided that the politicians on both sides can avoid trade conflicts and allow for improved trade. Rob Shaker of Shaker Financial Services, says that the stock market hasn't been climbin a wall of worry so much as a 'Wall of Meh,' but notes that economic mediocrity is creating opportunities for long-term investors in closed-end funds to buy into discounts now and get paid off as early as the second half of this year, when he expects a 'generalized recovery' from today's worrisome issues. Plus, Gene Peroni of Peroni Portfolio Advisors talks technical analysis and says the range-bound market is likely to see the upper limits on the current market swings move higher -- by more than 10 percent -- before the year ends.

Among the topics covered: Why the fall of Afghanistan - no doubt a serious issue for the Middle East - doesn't necessarily translate into China getting more aggressive with Taiwan There's plenty being lost in translation with respect to the regulatory news coming out of China, says Ahern. Much of what we're seeing - while clunkily handled by Beijing - is no different than much of the regulatory issues faced by the likes of Facebook and Amazon on a regular basis in the U.S. or EU. The result has been a large disconnect between fundamentals (still great) in Chinese Internet players like Alibaba (BABA), Tencent (TCEHY), JD.Com (JD), Meituan (MPNGF), and Pinduoduo (PDD), and the price action (not so great).

China has been on investors’ horizon since the turn of the century. According to Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates, many investors underweight Chinese equities, therefore in this week's episode, we'd like to discuss investing opportunities around Chinese stocks.

Together they discuss the Chinese economic recovery after the coronavirus pandemic, the effect it has on Chinese stocks and what are the risks of investing in China.

Welcome to East West Hurricane! 🌪We update you on the most essential news from Asia in tech, media, and business—the things you need to know that you probably haven’t heard in Western media.Follow us on Twitter and Instagram! ⚡️K-pop’s Big Hit Entertainment Plans an IPO 🎤Big Hit Entertainment is one of the world’s largest K-pop agencies and this week they announced their intention to go public. Big Hit Entertainment plans to raise $812 Million in an IPO that would be the biggest Korean IPO of the last three years. Big Hit manages the absurdly popular K-pop group BTS, who has become one of the world’s most popular music groups and grossed $170 Million from live events in 2019, which made them the fifth largest live music act in the world. BTS’s latest single ‘Dynamite’ just reached #1 on the US Billboard Hot 100, which is the first time an Asian act has done this since 1963. K-pop’s popularity has increased massively over the last few years, which contributes to the growing wave of Korean influence in global pop culture. This Korean cultural wave also includes the major film success of Parasite and the growing popularity of K-drama. I’m super bullish on the continuing influence of Korean culture on the world stage. It’s all part of this increasing relevance of Asia that East West Hurricane was built to witness and document.India Issues New Ban That Includes PUBG Mobile On Wednesday, the Indian government announced a new list of 118 Chinese mobile apps that are now banned in the country. This comes after the government banned 59 apps just over a month ago, including TikTok. The big news from this round is that one of these apps is PUBG Mobile, which was one of the most popular games in India. For PUBG, India was their largest market with 175 Million downloads and 24% of their total downloads globally.As per the previous group of banned Chinese apps, the Indian government is citing security reasons as the reason for the ban. First TikTok, and now PUBG? Brendan Ahern, who writes the newsletter China Last Night, described it best when he called this situation an “Indian Teenagers’ Worst Nightmare.” The Global Times, a Chinese publication, has described the move essentially as a way for the Indian Prime Minister to deflect away from domestic failures, especially related to Covid. Whatever the truth behind the decision, it seems like we could start seeing more regional technology - where legislation makes internet services like social media and gaming different on a country by country basis. Bilibili’s New Content Acquisition 🎥Bilibili is kind of like ‘the Youtube of China,’ with over 170 Million users and a particular focus on ACG, which stands for Anime, Comics, and Gaming. As the platform grows, their strategy is increasingly to expand outside of the initial ACG niche. On Monday, Bilibili announced a $66 Million strategic investment in Huanxi Media, one of China’s largest media production companies. This gives Bilibili exclusive broadcasting rights to a large part of Huanxi’s TV and Film productions. The two companies also agreed on other partnership revenue opportunities like joint merchandise, film production, and shared ad revenue. A Western equivalent of this would be like Youtube investing into a major film studio like Paramount Pictures in order to have exclusive rights to broadcast their content on Youtube. As I’ve written about previously, Bilibili is an interesting company that has made tons of progress recently, including a listing on the Nasdaq in 2018 and continued growth over the last two years. They also received a $400 Million investment from Sony in May. Keep your eye on Bilibili, because another priority for them is international expansion. This is a public episode.

KraneShares is a family of ETF's, all focused on China. Brendan, the Chief Investment Officer, tells about the restructuring of the MSCI Emerging Market Index, to include mainland Chinese securities.

This means that those who invest in this index will now include those securities from Chinese exchanges, resulting in additional shares to be purchased of these companies. This is somewhat historic, and could generate some significant changes in the value of these securities that will now be included in the index. Very interesting interview for any investor.

We promised you a brand-new podcast show to start off 2015 and today we're delivering on that promise. Since Dr. Sjuggerud joined Stansberry Research in 2001, he has found super-safe, profitable investment ideas for his subscribers that the average investor simply never hears about... until the big gains have already been made. Starting today, you'll be able to hear Steve discuss these ideas with his co-host and senior analyst Brett Eversole. Together they'll recap the markets, tell you what's "cheap, hated, and in an uptrend," and let you listen in as they interview the legends in the financial markets. So today, to kick off the start of our brand-new podcast, Inside True Wealth, Steve calls his good friend Peter Churchouse, a true pioneer in the Asian markets. He's lived in Hong Kong since 1980. He worked alongside Barton Biggs to start Morgan Stanley's first Asian office. And he then headed Morgan Stanley's Asian Real Estate Research department for 16 years. Peter's been out of the investment banking business for more than decade but he's still 100% in tune with the Asian markets. In 2009, he began writing The Churchouse Letter – which is the absolute best newsletter we've seen focused on Asian markets. Plus for all of Steve's listeners, Peter is offering a huge discount. Listen here to get the promo code. In today's show, Steve and Peter dive in China's stock market. Both made bold calls on a Chinese stock market boom a few months back... and both have been absolutely correct so far. Now, after a few months of incredible gains, where does Peter believe China's market is headed? He answers that question as well as explains exactly why China is booming today. Peter is an expert in Chinese stocks and Asian markets. And he lays it all out in today's episode. Additionally, Steve speaks with Brendan Ahern of KraneShares – an ETF issuer focused on Chinese markets. Brendan built his career in the world of ETFs. And KraneShares offers the most innovative products for U.S. investors interested in China. Steve and Brendan discuss the opportunity in China and a few of the best – and easiest – ways to invest today.
