Stocks to Buy: Will China's Bull Run Continue?

Tue, 19 Feb 2013 13:33:28 -0500

The past three years, from an investment viewpoint, have had many surprises for those trying to decide which stocks to buy.

Perhaps one of the biggest surprises is having one of the world's best performing economies - China - right alongside one of the poorest performing stock markets - Shanghai - over the past three years.

The darkest days were in late November 2012 when the Shanghai index dipped below the 2,000 level for the first time in nearly four years.

But the Shanghai index staged a remarkable turnaround, rallying 23% just since the start of December.

With the beginning of the Chinese New Year - the Year of the Snake - it's a good time to evaluate if this market rally will make Chinese stocks good ones to buy.

Three ETFs Trading At A Huge Premium To NAV (And Three Alternatives)

Wed, 14 Mar 2012 07:00:25 -0400

Though ETFs may appear as very simple and straightforward investment vehicles, there is a rather complex infrastructure that lies beneath the surface. Under the hood of exchange-traded products is a unique “creation / redemption” mechanism that allows for the number of shares outstanding to fluctuate based on supply and demand. Generally, this mechanism serves a very useful and practical purpose: it keeps the prices of ETFs in line with the value of the underlying securities [see 25 Things Every Financial Advisor Should Know About ETFs]. When the value of an ETF climbs above its NAV, new shares can be created from the components and sold at an arbitrage profit (and vice versa). The efficiency of the creation / redemption mechanisms allows those transactions to be executed almost immediately, thereby creating a powerful incentive for opportunistic institutions to turn a profit by keeping ETF prices in line with their NAVs. This [...]
