FXI may fill its gap created a few days ago. Ask a stupid question: Does FXI track the whole Chinese market?

I took (long) 08/2007 $108 put before it gapped up. Then, I sold 04/2007 $108 put for $1.0 and bought back for $.70. Today, I may sell 05/2007 $108 put for $2.3, but I did not do that because I wanted to see if it will fill the gap.

When we are wrong in buying calls or puts, we can change them into calendars to reduce the cost. Otherwise, we will be killed by the time decay quickly

    • FXI tracks FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index. It only has 25 stocks.
      • Thank you. I guess they are blue chips such as Bank of China, China Mobile, and China Life
        • 在美国上市的那些ADR.
          • 你确信吗? 我记得是在香港上市的25只。
            • 不确定, 可能记错 :(
          • Chinese ADRs will be hit hard today (Thusday)
