    I agree that we've seen BRICs fall out of favor and I visited Russia in 06 while studying the emerging economies of Eastern Europe. I wouldn't take a long position in Russia alone for at lease another 10 years, but what about EFA - has it seen the majority of its decline? I know your position is short, how far down are you predicting it will go? Reply

    Subscribers must have lost money going short tlt if they pulled the short trigger based on Fry's personal opinion on bonds a few weeks back. Reply

    ....and more generally, "when the facts change I change my opinion - what do you do?" (I forget who originally said that; might have been Keynes.) Reply

    " 'I' wouldn't touch it with a 10 ft pole." That's correct, but our job is to subscribers period. It's all about the system and not my personal opinions in that regard. Reply

    Thanks for adding ILF to your charts. Trading ranges reflect the uncertainty in the markets and light volume of summer. I wonder if the uncertainty of the upcoming elections are adding to the lack of direction reflected in the markets. How do the current charts compare to those of the summer of 2000 or 2004? Will markets wait until after the election to choose a direction?
    I have to think UNG is a buy at these levels. Drop in August 07 to same levels were followed by 20% rise by end of November.     Reply

    I believe he's following a system. As he frequently states in his sacred cows, "Things change..." Reply

    Fry says he wouldn't touch bonds with a ten foot pole when it was lower, now he is long them, higher... I don't get it. Reply

    VT sounds great in theory, but it looks rather illiquid (32,000 av. vol). Reply

    This article is spot on! I make sure my clients have a good portion of their assets in foreign stocks or they're not my clients. Over the past 4 years, they have averaged a total return of nearly 200%. Personally, I have 95% of my portfolio in foreign stocks and commodities. Reply

    Global investing could be more lucrative if the world economy wasn't so volatile. We instituted NAFTA and it seems that every nation has got it's far shake with the exception of this Nation's(USA). Buy Buy Buy! Made in ______________. Fill in the Country. Exportation of goods should be on the new President's agenda. I.E. Fair trade. This investor refuses to buy foreign stocks until the scales balance. Reply

    The economy is in a frenzy of buying foreign produced goods. We as producers should stand up and say enough is enough! Buy equally or your stocks are worthless in this exchange! Reply

    Thanks for your kind comments everyone.

    I've posted before the intent of our charts is to provide what is viewed, in our opinion, as a range of possibilities from an intermediate [weeks] perspective. It's not a prediction and we're not in that business.

    We also are repetitive in markets covered because, in our view, these are the markets that matter and/or have the maximum impact currently.     Reply

    Excellent charts and comments. I think the comments on the trading bands and choppiness of the markets are clear comments that novices taking positions by at this time actually isn't a good thing. I went long ILF a week ago. Chart is similar to EEM and EWZ. Though oil could test $100, I doubt it's going lower than that, and seems to be creating support in this $112-118 area. With all the natural resources available to them, I'm hoping the Brazil market will be a good long-term investment. And as was stated above, more hurricanes are on the way.
    And the American markets seems just too choppy for an investor.
    Thanks for all your research and comments. I look forward to seeing your charts every week.     Reply

    Being a novice, I would appreciate your focusing on a few charts and adding action-based comments. Your work is valuable, but it is 'way above my head. Still, I check in, as often as I can, to learn -- it will be a long process, though. Thanks for posting your work for all to appreciate. I'm sure others would like to join me in thanking you for your valuable service. Reply
