Dent Tactical ETF Will Likely Have Trouble Gathering Assets

Dent is, in fact, an excellent source of prediction regarding the stock market.

Just assume the opposite of what he predicts. So far that strategy has been 100% correct.

South Africa ETF - Nowhere to Go but Up?

In 2010 the Football (soccer) World Cup will be played in South Africa. The country will come under intense world scrutiny and the SA's 'animal spirits' will be buoyed - the first African country to host the World Cup.

So I can certainly see a short term opportunity for EZA, but post the World Cup there is going to be quite an economic let down. Currently many people are employed to refurbish existing stadiums and create other facilities and the government is spending whatever it takes to get these projects completed before the kick off.

But then employment will go up and it is not certain whether Pravin Gordhan is up to the finance minister job since he is relatively new in the position.

I would not hold EZA after March 2010.
