New Foreign ETFs

StateStreet listed six new ETFs today;

  • SPDR China (GXC) like FXI it is heavy in financials
  • SPDR Emerging Europe (GUR) a lot of Russian energy
  • SPDR Latin America (GML) owns a lot of the mega cap usual suspects
  • SPDR Emerging Market (GMM) different mix than EEM and cheaper than EEM
  • SPDR Emerging Middle East & Africa (GAF) mostly South Africa followed by Israel
  • SPDR Emerging Asia Pacific (GMF) lots of Taiwan and China and even 0.90% in Pakistan
I'll have more on these later but I wanted to create some awareness. These funds create competition for existing products and offer a couple of new things in the ETF world but obviously Eastern Europe has CEFs to choose from too.

I am taking the 9:26AM comment as spam. I am not removing it so that you see what company is being touted or pumped. On the off chance you are considering the stock knowing it is being promoted in this manner might scare you off (maybe a good thing?).

what are you (everyone reading this blog and RR) using for your fixed income allocations (assuming you have some)?

For fixed income I hire former employees of the SEC. I have tremendous conviction in their performance.

Trying to have some fun. Being straight, question for Roger. The naked short video from bloomberg is making the rounds. Is this issue signficiant? Could it be hanging over nasdaq and elsewhere?

Excellent article on stock scams from Wikipedia can be found here:

Check out the sub-article “Pump and dump spam” towards the middle of the page.

Also, the tout has been listed on Spamnation and can be found here:
