This summary was created by AI, based on 3 opinions in the last 12 months.

Experts are optimistic about the iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM-N) due to its potential for diversification and favorable market conditions. The focus on China is highlighted as it leads in AI investments, although there are concerns regarding India related to energy issues. A significant global economic stimulus is observed, with 91% of world central banks easing monetary policies, contributing to a boom in industrial sectors, particularly outside the USA. This context has led to appealing valuations, especially for Japanese banks, which are experiencing rapid growth. Although emerging markets have struggled in the past decade, they are currently positioned to offer better valuation and forecasts compared to Europe, making a case for allocating a portion of investment portfolios to them.

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).
