Emerging market growth in a developed market Graphic_rating_buy EWS

Singapore is not a backwater emerging market.  Singapore is well on its way to becoming the Switzerland of Asia.  This ETF is heavily weighted toward financial services, business services, and telecom: three great ways to cash in on the economic growth of this island nation.  Also, the average P/E of the companies of the ETF is 16.  That's not bad at all for what's supposedly an emerging market.

Asian markets are cutting off American investment to strengthen their own companies, meaning they're going to come back even more competitive and looking for even more startup capital for new, ambitious companies. Singapore is free from major power influence and is a growing industrial and computer technology economy. ETF has shown solid progress over time, and continues to trend up.

Words from the (investment) wise June 7, 2009

Words from the (investment) wise for the week that was (June 1 – 7, 2009)

Ups and downs on financial markets were plentiful during the past week, but investor sentiment, on balance, brightened on the back of constructive financial and economic data - capped by a better-than-expected US non-farm payrolls report on Friday.

“It appears that the global economy has finally found the ripcord,” said Rebecca Wilder (News N Economics) in her weekly review of global economic reports.

The most recent low is dated on 20th of November when global stock market indexes formed new lows. Support, bottom from October 2002, has triggered bounce for equities. I have run my performance screener for international ETF to see which countries have benefited the most from this rally. Have a look to the rankings below with performance up to now.

As a benchmark with US equities I used Vanguard total market US (VTI).

Singapore Exports to Decline as Asia Braces for Deeper Slowdown

I don't have a problem in the sell off in commodities on the global slowdown thesis - heck we were proponents of this thesis when everyone was slapping the "decoupling" scenario in our face. In fact we closed some of our Asian ETFs this spring just for that reason [May 23: Smaller Asian Countries Begin to Buckle Under Oil - I'm Closing iShares Singapore (EWS)] Even then as I was buying the very unpopular Ultrashort Oil & Gas (DUG) - which is now very popular of course, I wrote...

Week 42 Major Position Changes

Fund positions of 1.0% or greater can be found each week in the right margin of the blog, under the label cloud and recent comments areas; I highlight weekly the larger position changes.

Being a long only fund, via Marketocracy rules, the only hedges to the downside I have are cash or buying short ETFs. I cannot short individual equities.

To see historic weekly fund changes click here OR the label at the bottom of this entry entitled ‘fund positions’.
