31 Country P/E and PEG Ratios [view article]
ajelovsek:Those are the numbers as reported by Thompson One Analytics. They simply aggregate the data from the reporting investment analysis houses. Those are not my estimates. They are my report to you of published numbers. Reply
31 Country P/E and PEG Ratios [view article]
Dear RichardSorry, can you check again PEG for Thailand and Russia. The numbers are to good to be true in my opinion. Thailand earnings growth must be 77% and Russian earnings growth must be 45% to give the numbers you put. Reply

It would be very interesting if Bespoke would show us where this leaves us today. Please give us an update of P/E multiples relative to GNP growth rates of the various countries. ReplyA 360 View of Returns (July 2008) [view article]
job well done and very easy to follow ReplyHard Time for Soft Currencies [view article]
bmaclaverty: Interesting possibility--this option is always available--the U.S. has done it for the last sever years. I have not made an explicit study of bouts of competitive devaluations, so I cannot speak with any special knowledge of the subject. Just off the top of my head, if this kind of destructive practice did occur, it would most likely be on a regional basis. S.E. Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, etc. If this is the way it would play out, then the controlling forces would be the regional leaders. In Asia it is China, with Japan playing a more silent role. In Latin America, Mexico and Brazil are local leaders, but the U.S. is still the Monroe Doctrine practiticioner and would yield much influence. Eastern Europe is difficult for me to assess. The old Soviet Union members are now, for the most part, looking to Euroland, but some in the furtherest east (Bulgaria, Romania and all the absurdistans that populate western asia) are still under Russian influence to some degree.It's just a guess, but I think the real leaders of these regions could keep a lid on the kind of destructive practices you fear.

Thanks for the comments, guys. Chance, good idea about using a symbolic language in a book about currencies. I'll get to work on it, soon. (:~)Ray Reply

Good stuff, thank you. ReplySingapore Sovereign Wealth Fund Is Outpacing the Country ETF [view article]
Temaek holdings has large stakes in SIngapore's largest homegrown companies such as DBS Bank, Singtel (approximately 38% of its portfolio value), according to its 2007 annual report. ReplySingapore Sovereign Wealth Fund Is Outpacing the Country ETF [view article]
"Temasek, Singapore's second-largest sovereign wealth fund, [SWF] is certainly doing far better than Singapore exchange-traded funds such as the iShares MSCI Singapore (EWS) that is down almost 17% year-to-date.The lesson is that it pays to play as a big boy with lots of cash and negotiating leverage."
Huh? Apples and oranges, no? Comparing funds that primarily invest in Singapore with a fund that can and does invest anywhere in the world? Sure, Temasek may be in Singapore but its investment parameters are very different. What am I missing here? Reply
Four New Currency ETFs from Rydex [view article]
I received an email from a Rydex representative today that the expense ratio of their currency ETFs is .4%, and they though the 45 bp I mentioned as the bank spread on interest earned vs. what is paid was an allusion to the ER. So, just to be clear. The ER is .4%, and the interest spread from earned to paid is .45%.Reply

Indonesia (Jakarta Composite Index) up 443% for that period, better than Brazil. ReplyTotal Returns by Country Since March 2003 [view article]
Why omit Norway? The index has gone from appx. 98 to 420. In my book that is not too bad. Reply
