job well done and very easy to follow ReplyHard Time for Soft Currencies [view article]
bmaclaverty: Interesting possibility--this option is always available--the U.S. has done it for the last sever years. I have not made an explicit study of bouts of competitive devaluations, so I cannot speak with any special knowledge of the subject. Just off the top of my head, if this kind of destructive practice did occur, it would most likely be on a regional basis. S.E. Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, etc. If this is the way it would play out, then the controlling forces would be the regional leaders. In Asia it is China, with Japan playing a more silent role. In Latin America, Mexico and Brazil are local leaders, but the U.S. is still the Monroe Doctrine practiticioner and would yield much influence. Eastern Europe is difficult for me to assess. The old Soviet Union members are now, for the most part, looking to Euroland, but some in the furtherest east (Bulgaria, Romania and all the absurdistans that populate western asia) are still under Russian influence to some degree.It's just a guess, but I think the real leaders of these regions could keep a lid on the kind of destructive practices you fear.
Best wishes,

Malaysia is a play similar to Brazil: they have oil and food, and one of the safest markets, comparable to australia and singapore. ReplyEmerging Markets With Low Valuations [view article]

Fundamental Analysis for Emerging Markets [view article]
MXF has annual tender offers where you exchange your MXF shares at NAV in return for Mexican securities. This is a good deal, since MXF sells at a double digit discount to NAV.But in order to do this efficiently, you need a large position (at least 100K) and use a broker who can sell shares on the Mexican stock exchange.

They left out the Swiss Helvetica Fund (SWZ, I think) the only single country CEF for Switzerland I know of. ReplyA 360 View of Returns (July 2008) [view article]

very good job Richard, it gives a sectoral - global view, I learned a lot with the summary! Challenging times Reply31 Country P/E and PEG Ratios [view article]
The data here is for the country indices and not for the ETFs. The ETFs are provided as investable proxies for the countries.The data is only available by subscription to various services which are quite expensive, in the thousands. Reply
31 Country P/E and PEG Ratios [view article]
Where can I find up-to-date country P/E (ttm) data? Also, is it possible to calculate the P/E ratio for each country's index rather than using a corresponding ETF?Thanks. Reply
