China - The Next Growth Economy

Recently attended Merrill Lynn Participation Certificate seminar and ABN AMBRO Zero Strike Certificate seminar, introducing the latest investment products on the market called investment warrants which had a vaildation of 3 years.

I was indeed impressive of the presentation esp the convinction of the China growth story based on strong infrastructure development and strong local consumers growth. Both are extremely bullish with regards to China economy long term prospects and investing in them take a longer term view on 3-5 years to reap rewards.

It made me analysing its time to look at undervalue H-shares and maybe buy the investment warrants for longer term value appreciation.
