    Barclays Global ETFs: iShares Doing the Splits [view article]
    How would a 3:1 split on FXI relate to FXP, the ProShares 2:1 inverse of FXI?

    Also, how would a 3:1 split affect puts in FXI?

    I would appreciate your insight on these questions.     Reply

    Top Country PEG Ratios: Russia, Singapore, Malaysia [view article]
    Lots of variables to consider other than just PEG but it is a place to start research. To that end, I'm looking for a service that tracks the PEG of all stocks on the NYSE and NASDAQ on a daily basis. Anyone know if there is such a service? Thanks. Reply

    Interesting analysis, and worthy of further investigation. Perhaps too simplistic to try and boil it down to ETF/CEF investing strategies. Reply

    Don't forget singapore. PE is 14, inflation is a shockingly low 1%, and growth is among the best. It's the new new york. A uniquely independent and mixed center of Asian business and culture and one of the most trusted markets in the world. Housing has always been expensive there and has not gone up much in the past 8 years. A fantastic place for the young and food lovers, it will continue to be a center of biomedical research and the business and cultural elite. What country has a better personality and looks so happily towards the future?

    Another bet similar to the Brazil play (good growth and net exporter of oil and food), Malaysia is in a similarly great situation with a 23% lower PE than Brazil and lower inflation and equal growth. Malaysia surprisingly (to me) has one of the most trusted markets in the world, better than Brazil and Australia. Malaysia also has better P/B and dividends. FSLR chose it as it's home for new high-tech solar plants. Also compare Malaysia to Thailand: similar PEs even after a recent 20% drop in Thailand, Thailand is oil-dependent, higher inflation, similar growth, less-trusted market, and current political risk. Only thing good about thailand is that it makes a lot of cars (for foreign companies) that could get sold to china.     Reply

    Agreed papagiki...overbought conditions can remain in place for quite a while, and oversold doesn't mean it's time to buy.

    The writers are factual and non-committal, merely pointing to conditions that possibly warrant stop loss protection, or positions to montior for entry points.     Reply

    What are you talking about? There is no absolutely difference between our country and the rest of the world. We are not "special." You are not special. I am not special.

    The world through the eyes of our English-language media is our own fantasy. If you want reality, learn a foreign language.

    Oh I feel so much better that we are better than a bunch of 3rd world countries. Our ridiculous inflation rate seems right at home with our new, pretty, bananna republic colored money. Why not just get Parket Brothers to replace the federal reserve and the treasury? Parker's monopoly money is just the right size for a smaller wallet. Reply

    User 166668:

    The inflation rate given is for consumers. Producers typically experience the worst end of inflation, probably an average of 7.3%, if I were to venture a guess (or regurgitate what a very competent finance professor said last week). It's entirely possible that you are getting burn worse than that, depending on exactly what industry you are in and a million other variables.
    Being a small mfg. only adds to the burn due to economies of scale, decrease in demand for goods in general, and rising wages.

    Richard:
    definition of median:
    The midpoint of the range numbers that are arranged in order of value.
    Of course it did not take into account any sort of weight, because doing so would make it and average (mean) instead of a midpoint (the middle number).
    I'm not saying that knowing the median does us any good, just that it's not what you seem to think it is.

    Dr Bagel:
    Excellent point. China's currency is also pegged to the USD, but they are experiencing higher inflation (at least according to these numbers). China's government subsidizes prices to hold them steady, allowing them some control over inflation despite lacking control over their own monetary policy. However, they also have the ability to increase fuel prices 17-18% across the nation over night (they just did). I don't know if these numbers reflect that change, in fact I doubt it, but my point is the same as toofan's, nations with pegged currencies do not necessarily follow the base value.

    Aside from all that, who the heck can determine what a basket of goods should include for each country and come up with figures that can meaningfully compare one to another? I definitely agree with the general consensus that inflation is typically understated and inaccurate in my own country (US) and find it hard to imagine that even a minority of the rest of the world is capable of measuring their own.

    Also, unrelated, core inflation is meaningless. Perhaps some of you do know someone in the US who does not drive or use fuel, but everyone eats food.

    Then again, what do I know? I'm just somekid     Reply
