2006 was The Year for Chinese stocks. A seemingly unquenchable investor thirst for all things Chinese helped propel the Shanghai Composite Index to a 130% gain for the year, followed closely by the Hang Seng China Enterprise Index [HSCE].
Although Shanghai's stellar performance in 2006 is somewhat misleading because compilers of the Shanghai Composite Index include IPOs right from their debut day, giving the mainland index a regular and artificial boost, the triple digit gain is still remarkable. The interest in China spurred Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index to a 34% gain in 2006. The China Enterprise Index, which comprises major Chinese companies, or H-shares, such as PetroChina (PTR) or China Life Insurance (LFC), nearly doubled in value.
