Die Macht der Acht
Westliche Börsenexperten lästern oft über den wilden chinesischen Aktienmarkt. Der boomt zwar. Doch viele Firmen sind inzwischen so hoch bewertet, dass chinesische Anleger in London und New York inzwischen als völlig irrational gelten. Selbst der ehemalige Chef der amerikanischen Notenbank, der legendäre Alan Greenspan, hat vor "dramatischen Korrekturen" an den chinesischen Börsen gewarnt.
Chinas Anleger haben das einfach überhört. Denn alle hier wissen, was Greenspan wahrscheinlich nie verstehen wird: China hat seine eigenen Bewertungsmethoden, magische Kennzahlen - und kein westlicher Börsenfachmann wird das System jemals vollständig erfassen.
Zum Beispiel die Acht. Das ist eine besonders gute Zahl, eine Glückszahl. Denn acht wird auf Chinesisch "ba" ausgesprochen. Das klingt so ähnlich wie "fa". Fa bedeutet Reichtum. Die Acht ist so wichtig, dass die Olympischen Spiele in Peking am 8.8.2008 um 8 Uhr abends eröffnet werden. Unternehmen zahlen bei Telefongesellschaften hohe Gebühren für Nummern mit vielen Achten.
In China sind Privatanleger für drei Viertel aller Transaktionen verantwortlich. Seit die Börse boomt, gehörten dazu auch immer mehr Hausfrauen, Schulkinder und Rentner. Doch ist das Börsengeschehen unübersichtlich geworden. Deshalb orientieren sich immer mehr Anleger an den chinesischen Glückszahlen, besonders der Sechs, der Acht und der Neun.
Das System bietet nicht nur den verwirrten Kleinanlegern Orientierung: Das Brokerhaus Xintai Securities schrieb in einem Bericht über die in Shenzhen gehandelte Tianjin Teda Co: "Der Aktienkurs schließt gerne mit Glückszahlen."
Besondere Aufmerksamkeit erregte kürzlich die Aktie des Technologieunternehmens Xinjiang Joinworld mit der besonders glücklichen Wertpapierkennnummer 600888. Chinesische Zahlenkenner haben allerdings errechnet, dass die Aktie in diesem Jahr erstaunlich schlecht lief, entgegen dem Markttrend. Haben die Glückszahlen am Ende doch nicht immer Recht? Oder ist gerade das ein gutes Zeichen?

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com ) -- Although deep discounts brought out much bigger crowds of holiday bargain hunters, a major retail trade group said Sunday that shoppers actually spent less money this year over the crucial Thanksgiving weekend.
The National Retail Foundation's (NRF's) 2007 Black Friday Weekend Survey said more than 147 million shoppers hit the stores over the Black Friday weekend, up 4.8 percent from last year.
However, the trade group said consumers, on average, spent an estimated $347.44 in total on Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday, down 3.5 percent from the previous year.
The NRF's projection put a damper on some earlier estimates, including one from MasterCard Advisors on Friday that estimated Black Friday purchases to hit $20 billion this year, up from $19.1 billion last year.
Also, ShopperTrak RCT Corp., which tracks sales at more than 50,000 retail outlets, said Saturday that total sales rose 8.3 percent to about $10.3 billion on Black Friday, compared with $9.5 billion on the same day a year ago.
"While last year showed a greater emphasis on high-definition televisions, this year consumers were focused on lower-priced doorbusters like digital photo frames, laptops and cashmere sweaters," NRF CEO Tracy Mullin said in a statement.
Industry analysts said retailers this year are especially challenged to drive sales in the coming weeks as many Americans struggle to find spending money amid the ongoing housing downturn and other economic pressures.
"Though Black Friday weekend was a complete success for many retailers, the results of the holiday season won't be determined until the last two weeks of December," Mullin said.
While many malls opened their doors to throngs of discount shoppers at midnight, several retailers, including J.C. Penney (Charts, Fortune 500) and Kohl's (Charts, Fortune 500), kicked off Black Friday as early as 4 a.m. this year.
The NRF said the early openings paid off with 14.3 percent of consumers out shopping before 4 a.m. this year compared to 12.4 percent last year.
The early bird gets the discount Men outspent women on so-called "doorbuster deals," especially on electronics. The group said male shoppers spent $393.63 on Friday compared to $303.95 by women shoppers.
In terms of where people shopped, the NRF said 55.1 percent of shoppers visited discount stores, 38.7 percent shopped in traditional department stores, 43.2 percent hit specialty retailers for sales while 31.6 percent of shoppers went online for their gift buying.
Clothes, books, videogames, consumer electronics and toys were the most popular purchases over the weekend.
Black Friday is so named because it's when retailers traditionally begin posting their annual profit, a reflection of the holiday season's importance to the retail industry.
The NRF estimates that one in 12 consumers, or 8.2 percent, has finished their holiday shopping. The group expects total holiday sales for the November-December period will rise 4 percent to $474.5 billion, its slowest growth rate in five years.
The NRF survey was conducted from Nov. 22-24 and has a margin of error of plus or minus 1.5 percent.
Beat the mobs on 'Cyber Monday' Meanwhile, online retailers are bracing for their kickoff to holiday shopping on Cyber Monday.
The NRF expects 72 million consumers will shop online from home or at work on Monday for after-Thanksgiving bargains.
ComScore Networks said Sunday that it expects Cyber Monday sales to surpass $700 million, making it the heaviest online spending day on record.
Video games and consoles - includingNintendo's (Charts) Wii, Sony (Charts)'s PlayStation 3 and the popular game Halo 3 - are expected to be the top online purchases on Monday followed by furniture and appliances, consumer electronics and clothing. 
Sprich: inflationsbereinigt verlief der BlackFriday schlechter als im vergangenen Jahr!!!!
At least the partridge in the pear tree doesn't cost more this year.PITTSBURGH (AP) -- While the origins of the Christmas carol "The Twelve Days of Christmas" may be a mystery, one thing is certain: It's getting more costly to buy your true love all the items mentioned.
[witziger Indikator!]
It would cost $78,100 to buy the 364 items, from a single partridge in a pear tree to the 12 drummers drumming, repeatedly on each day as the song suggests, according to the annual PNC Christmas Price Index compiled by PNC Wealth Management. The cost is up 4 percent from $75,122 last year.
Buying each item in the song just once would cost $19,507, up 3.1 percent from last year's $18,921. And shopping online would be costlier, with the total for the 364 items costing $128,886, up 2.5 percent from last year's $125,767. You would spend $31,249 online for each item just once this year.
Though a humorous look, PNC said the index mirrors actual economic trends. PNC has been calculating the cost of Christmas since 1984.
Helping push the cost up this year is the minimum wage hike, which bumped the cost of eight maids a-milking from about $41 to nearly $47.
"They have not had an increase since 1997," said Jim Dunigan, managing executive of investment for PNC Wealth Management. "The good news is, if you're a maids a-milking, they will also see an increase in 2008 and 2009."
Higher food costs pushed the six geese a-laying from $300 to $360. And reflecting higher gold prices, those five gold rings will cost $395, up 21.5 percent from last year's $325.
Special Report: Holiday Money 2007 "The cost of the gold rings in this year's Christmas Price Index reflects the general trend of increasing commodity prices in the Consumer Price Index, including gold," Dunigan said. "In addition, increased fears about inflation and the value of the dollar may have led investors to turn to gold as a safer place to invest their money."
Not everything is more costly. The price of a partridge ($15), two turtle doves ($40) and three French hens ($40) remained the same, as did seven swans a-swimming, at $4,200, and nine ladies dancing, at $4,759.
PNC checks jewelry stores, dance companies, pet stores and other sources to compile the list, Dunigan said.
If one had $78,000 to splurge for Christmas, there's "probably a Mercedes or a Hummer in there someplace," Dunigan said. "The key there is you'd lose the romantic value."
"I'm sure there's something on the list for everybody," he said. "If it was my wife, she'd probably go for five gold rings."
As for the origins of the carol, which has been around for hundreds of years, some contend the song was a coded way to teach aspects of Catholicism. According to such claims, the six geese a-laying represent the six days of creation and the 10 lords a-leaping represent the 10 Commandments.
Snopes.com, an Internet urban legend-debunking Web site, says there's no substantive evidence that the carol was used to preserve tenets of Catholicism. 
Laut FTD lagen die Insider 2000 richtig -mit Verkäufen.
Was die FTD allerdings nicht erwähnt ist, dass Insider 2001 völlig falsch lagen -mit Käufen.
(siehe: www.wiwo.de/pswiwo/fn/ww2/sfn/buildww/id/...epot/0/index.html)
Sie sind bereits VOR dem eigentlichen Absturz der Aktien eingestiegen.
Scheinbar sind Insider gut dazu in der Lage, massive Überbewertungen zu verkaufen oder kleine temporäre Tiefs in Bullenmärkten zu kaufen. Doch große Abschwünge können sie nicht antizipieren.
Sie gehen prinzipiell bei ihren Käufen erstmal vom Szenario "Korrektur-in-Bullenmarkt" aus.
Das könnte diesmal, wie schon 2001 in die hose gehen...

Scheinbar verlieren viele Stimmungsindikatoren -wie z.B. die insiderkäufe- in einem laufenden Bärenmarkt ihre kontraindikatorische Aussage.
Als sehr gutes Beispiel hierfür möchte ich mal den Herbst 2002 anführen.
Auf dem Herbsthoch im August waren die Stimmungsbarometer von Investors Intelligence auf Rekordhoch bezüglich Pessimismus.
Der Dow stand damals bei 9000.
In den folgenden 2 Monaten ist er damals in einem Rutsch, ohne nennenswerte Korrektur auf 7500 zurückgegangen.
Sehr gut hingegen hat der Panik-Indikator (hohe umsätze, großer Kurseinbruch) im Zwischentief Ende Juli 2002 funktioniert, worauf der DJIA von 7500 auf 9000 innerhalb eines Monats hochgecrasht ist.
Eine nennenwerte Korrektur erwarte ich in der Folge also erst nach einem oder zwei panikartigen Ausverkäufen.
Daraufhin und schon währenddessen werde ich proggressiv antizyklisch in Calls umschwenken.
Jetzt schon in großem Umfang in Calls zu gehen bietet mir derzeit ein zu geringeres Chance-Risiko-Verhältnis.
Abgesehen davon frage ich mich, was auf dem aktuell immernoch historisch hohen Stand der Indizes bitteschön nach oben korrigiert werden sollte?
