<li>SOUTHBOUND was a net buyer the last five trading days (from before GW to 14 Oct). HUGE gross flows. Decent net flows. Very big in few names (BABA included).</li>
<li>The Guotai Junnan/Haitong merger pushed H-share brokers hard, but SB wasn't buying.

The Guotai Junnan/Haitong merger pushed H-share brokers hard, but SB wasn't buying. They bought Alibaba Group Holding (9988 HK), Semiconductor Manufacturing International Corp (SMIC) (981 HK), Xiaomi Corp (1810 HK). 
Things may settle down a little bit as the fiscal policy announcements are out of the way, but I expect the trend is still your friend (until it bends).
