Best China Stocks To Invest In Right Now

Since its launch in 1986, Honda's (NYSE: HMC  ) Acura brand has kind of occupied an in-between space -- more upscale than a mass-market brand, but not quite a true luxury brand, either. Lately, Honda has been hinting that it wants to change that, and it has an all-new ad agency ready to push Acura up the luxury scale.

Does this plan have a chance? In this video, Fool contributor John Rosevear looks at what it really takes to establish a true luxury-car brand and explains why observers -- and Honda investors -- should be skeptical of this latest effort.

China is already the world's largest auto market -- and it's set to grow even bigger in the coming years. A recent Motley Fool report, "2 Automakers to Buy for a Surging Chinese Market," names two global giants poised to reap big gains that could drive big rewards for investors.

Advisors' Opinion:

    On Wednesday, Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL  ) will release its latest quarterly results. Given all the issues that have plagued the solar industry lately, can the company get past its lack of profitability to survive the shakeout among Chinese solar companies?

    Even worse for LDK Solar, European tariffs could exact a huge price that LDK will have to pay. With LDK and Trina Solar (NYSE: TSL  ) both potentially having to pay 50%-60% in tariffs, the European move would give U.S. manufacturers First Solar (NASDAQ: FSLR  ) and SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR  ) a chance at a reversal of fortune in Europe, as higher effective prices for Chinese modules could make both of them much more competitive on price. Earlier this week, Europe followed through with a smaller 11.8% tariff on China's solar products, reserving the right to boost tariffs to higher levels by early August.

    One biotechnology player that's starting to trend within range of triggering a big breakout trade is Raptor Pharmaceuticals (RPTP), which has a pipeline that includes both candidates from its proprietary drug targeting platforms and in-licensed and acquired product candidates. This stock is in play with the bulls so far in 2013, with shares up sharply by 151%.

    >>5 Hated Earnings Stocks You Should Love

    If you take a look at the chart for Raptor Pharmaceuticals, you'll notice that stock has been uptrending strong for the last six months, with shares soaring higher from its low of $5.50 to its recent high of $15.29 a share. During that uptrend, shares of RPTP have been consistently making higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed shares of RPTP within range of triggering a big breakout trade.

    Traders should now look for long-biased trades in RPTP if it manages to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $14.99 a share to its 52-week high at $15.29 a share with high volume. Look for a sustained move or close above those levels with volume that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 844,332 shares. If that breakout triggers soon, then RPTP will set up to enter new 52-week-high territory, which is bullish technical price action. Some possible upside targets off that breakout are $18 to $20 a share, or even north of $20 a share.

    Traders can look to buy RPTP off any weakness to anticipate that breakout and simply use a stop that sits right below some key near-term support levels at $13.69 a share or at $13 a share. One can also buy RPTP off strength once it takes out those breakout levels with volume and then simply use a stop that sits a comfortable percentage from your entry point.

    Celebrities have a funny way of lifting a platform's visibility. Twitter was doing fine as a place for tech-forward folks to share short messages, but it really took off once entertainers took to pecking out 140-character missives. The same scenario played out in China with SINA's (NASDAQ: SINA  ) Weibo. The moment top athletes, rockers, and movie stars took to Weibo, it became the undisputed micro-blog of choice for the world's most populous nation.
