    I suspect Tom knows much more than you or most people about the subject. He writes to inform a number of us that have for whatever reason not wanted to go the very narrow route you have taken. His diverse information gives us a much needed bit of general information to help point the way. Reply

    Why you are obsessed with ETF's that are stealing your money on bid/ask,expense ratios.
    Instead buying ETF's just buy Exxon or BP and sit there,this stocks don't have small market makers as ETF's do and their daily volume is few of billions of $£.
    Or learn to trade futures,it takes long time,it is true,it took me 8-10 years to learn,but today I don't trade even a single stock,all I need I get in futures markets.

    Global Stock Markets: Let the Gains Begin [view article]
    You can take a trading "stance" without actually executing a trade unless there is a trade to take. Don't trade out of boredom, but be prepared with a plan.

    Sometimes you actually have to watch what the market is doing to determine what it is saying. Why try and be a hero? A "long term approach" can also mean "get out and wait for lower prices".

    Agree short term positive for stock markets with US dollar gains and oil price falling. Longer term still negative. Hence a trading stance may be in order. Reply

    I think its unfair to list NETS etfs in this list even though they have very few assets.NETS launched a whole bunch of these country specific etfs like DAX for Germany recently. So it may take some time before they grow. What do other readers think? Reply

    also etns may be easier to create by issuer than etfs
    if a demand appears
    the issue is whether ubs feels it pays to have resources devoted to a 5 mln indexed certificate of deposit (uag)

    plus timing, nets may take some time to take off

    The way to play the decline in FXI is ProShares FXP. It is my judgment that FXI is headed to $60, down from the 120-130 range during the next month. FXP is headed to $200. (FXP is 2:1 inverse of FXI)

    The bubble has burst in China... Europe, Asia and USA are all heading to a slowdown that popped the bubble. I expect the people are beginning to feel like Japan in 1990 when their market began declining from a high of 40,000 and went down to 10,000 over very long period before finally going back to 20,000 and now back to 13,000. The China markets are down 60% so far, but have not seen anything yet.

    Can you imagine all the bad luck that China has faced this year?

    Worst Blizzard in 50 years

    Worst Earthquake in 54 years

    Worst flooding in ___ years

    Highest Fuel prices ever, Plane fares ^^^ higher

    The earthquake has affected the preparations for the Olympics, reducing profit potential.

    Olympics will be a huge disaster, very hot and muggy. Taxis will be tangled in huge traffic jams, tourist will hate it.

    Just learned that there is a problem of Algae in waterways planned for Olympic boating events. 10,000 workers are now clearing the river.

    Also learned they are expecting locust, 35,000 workers from Outer Mongolia have been hired to try to do something about the problem. How do you fix this?

    I wonder if the Chinese are beginning to feel like ancient Egypt when Moses asked the Pharaoh to "Let my People Go." The Nile filled with blood, fish died and began to stink and they had to dig wells as the water was too bad to drink, then came frogs, gnats, flies, livestock died, they all got boils, hail storms, locust, total darkness for 3 days and then death of firstborn?

    I WISH THIS KIND OF BAD LUCK WOULD GO ON OPEC's HEADS DUE TO THEIR CONSPIRACY TO DESTROY THE WESTERN WORLD'S ECONOMIES. I REALLY BELIEVE THAT IS THEIR GOAL.

    ARABS/MUSLIMS COULD NOT DEFEAT US WITH 9/11 OR MILITARILY, BUT THEY CAN BREAK OUR ECONOMIES AND BANKRUPT THE USA. SOUND IMPOSSIBLE? THINK ABOUT WHAT WILL HAPPEN WHEN WE RAISE TAXES TO PAY FOR GLOBAL WARMING AND TO TAKE ALL THE WEALTH FROM THE RICH WHEN WE ELECT OBAMA PRESIDENT. WOW, THAT SCARES ME REALLY BAD. WE COULD NOT MAKE IT ANY EASIER FOR OPEC THAN TO ELECT HUSANE OBAMA PRESIDENT. WHAT TO DO?

    Thanks ETFlover -- we've added in the Thailand ETF.

    We've also added the new China NETS ETF from Northern Trust. There's an article comparing it to the other China ETFs here:

    Update: we just added the NETS (Northern Trust Exchange-Traded Shares) S&P/ASX 200 Index Fund (AUS) to the list, which covers Australian stocks.

    Index Universe explains that "the NETS family takes a slightly different approach to country investing than the iShares – Northern Trust has opted to use locally favored indexes in many cases, while iShares, the main existing provider of country-specific ETFs, tends to use MSCI’s country indexes, which are favored by institutional investors."
