    Why is Singapore so cheap? Could the P/E be depressed by lots of financials in the index? Reply

    Five Most Interesting Asian ETF and Indexing Stories Currently Playing Out [view article]
    The world's second largest country and third largest economy, with a growth story that is at least as fundamental as China's, is dismissed with a brief "Never been sure"? I for one see a much more optimistic long term story for India due to its inherently more functional and stable form of governance - when I choose to invest my money between capitalist authoritarianism and capitalist democracy, the latter seems like the sounder long term bet.

    I've never seen anything but technical analysis on Chinese television and in Chinese newspapers, although one can find plenty of books on or by people like Buffett and Lynch. Reply

    Asia Region ETFs Struggled Last Week, But Poised to Rally [view article]
    The Asia markets are still very much copycat entities..I wouldn't be too quick to assume any of them will rally as long as sporadic bad and worse news is coming out of US markets concerning debt and liquidity problems. Reply

    It's about time that someone has come out as you have and realizes that FED cuts are not bullish in the long run. The fact that the cuts pulverize our dollar is bad enough but the FED knows the economy is in trouble and lowers rates to try and reduce the effect of the slowdown. The best bull markets occur while rates increase ! Reply

    Thank you. Clear enough for me. Along with Barry Ritholtz's comments on B/D, NFP, etc., It's becoming clearer to me that number 3), above, may prove good advice. Best regards. Reply

    Nice article. It was an interesting week, in that the market went up as 'rate-cut day' approached, and sold off once the rate cut happened. Now that we no longer have Bernanke as a safety net in the near term, I think it will be choppy trading domestically. Maybe some gains, as you say, but modest ones, and by no means like the gains to be expected in other economies. China, Brazil, and for those of steel nerves, India are the better areas for intermediate trading/investing. Reply

    Asset Class Update: Cross Market Momentum [view article]
    I am also not entirely sure that I am happy working with monthly data points which no doubt downplay max DD and possibly boost CAGR. I have worked with both monthly and daily data recently and tend to prefer the latter. Which makes the data collection problem even more acute. Reply

    I agree with your approach (I am testig this in Trading Blox) and no I have seen no such research. Interesting that Fundx does not do this - each asset class is treated separately. Trouble is, as both of us know only too well, ETF history is too short for meaningful test results. So, you either have to work with Mutual Fund data or create your own total return indices with suitable assumptions for tracking error. Reply
