The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM) has gained attention among analysts due to its potential amidst shifting global economic conditions. Experts highlight the strong investment in AI in China, suggesting it's a favorable market despite concerns in India related to energy issues. The backdrop of a weak dollar and a global trend toward rate easing by various central banks adds to the attractiveness of EEM as a diversification option. Analysts note the index's overweight position in industrial sectors outside the U.S., which has proven rewarding. Additionally, emerging markets are seen as presenting better valuations and forecasts compared to European markets, prompting recommendations for investors to allocate a percentage of their portfolios to this sector as it increasingly gains traction after a decade of underperformance.

TOP PICK

Seasonality happens not just in North America, but around the world. This one just completed a double bottom last week.

BUY

Emerging Market ETF’s? This is a name that he likes. In Canada there is a Canadian hedge version XEM-T. One thing to note is that it does hold a large percentage of South Korea, which he likes because it gives you both diversification and stabilization in a portfolio.

BUY

An ETF in emerging markets? The most widely owned would be this one. Feels that a lot of global allocators are moving back into emerging markets. For a higher dividend oriented, you could go for iShares Emrg Mkt Div (DVYE-N). (See Top Picks.)

DON'T BUY

Purchased a Call with a strike price of $36 and the timeline was for Jan/14. Currently he is down 18%. Do you think this will eventually go up? He has sold off a lot of his emerging-market stuff because of his fairly conservative client base. He would suggest that you take a look at how much is in your portfolio. He doesn’t see any huge bounce back right now for emerging markets or China. In other words, he won’t be going into this right now.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 26/12. Up 8.31%.) Likes emerging markets this year and expects there will definitely be some traction. China is probably going to come in at an 8% growth rate. India is coming online as well.

TOP PICK
MSCI Emerging Market ETF. Brazil is up 11%, India is up 10% and (?) is up 5% so far this year. There are a couple of catalysts in emerging markets. Monetary policy is easing in certain areas. Inflation is coming down. China looks like it is going for a soft landing.
COMMENT
Emerging markets. Be aware that this trades in New York so you are in US currency. Very diversified globally. Somewhat technology oriented. P/E is 21.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick June 19/09. Up 24%.) The BRIC countries are tomorrow's economic powerhouses. Buy on weakness and could be considered a “Buy and Hold”.
TOP PICK
Emerging markets ETF. China, India and Brazil are tomorrow's economic powerhouses. Every portfolio should have some emerging markets. Emerging markets region is the only area that will post positive GDP this year. China is expected to lead the way in 2010 with an 8.5 GDP and Brazil and India are not too far behind. He is looking for an opportunity to Buy.
BUY
Has been extremely volatile. Expects it to recover before the North American economies. Emerging markets are less leveraged today than what we are.
COMMENT
Based on the emerging markets index. This is a great ETF but there is another one at a cost of only about one third, Vanguard Emerging (VWO-N).
DON'T BUY
Covers all emerging markets. He would prefer iShares MSCI Brazil E.T.F. (EWZ-N) followed by China and then India with Russia being at the bottom.
PAST TOP PICK

(Top Short Oct 11/06. Up 13.4%.) This was against going long on iShares (IWD-N). Didn't work out as well as he would have liked.

TOP PICK
Top Short If you are concerned about weakness in the economy, you can be short this and being long something value like the S&P 500 (IVV-N) for example. This is getting close to its resistance.
TOP PICK
Top Short A pairs trade. A defensive theme. Go long US quality stocks (SPY-A) where money is coming back and go short emerging markets (EEM-A).
