CAPS Rating:

Exchange Traded Funds

Rating a stock in CAPS consists of three components:

Your call - Will this stock outperform or underperform the S&P 500? Successful picks are measured in terms of whether or not you were correct and by how many percentage points.

Your time frame - A guideline for other players to see whether your thinking is short or long-term. Time frame is also used to calculate the stock rating, but is not used in the scoring of your pick.

Your pitch - Here's your chance to offer more detailed thoughts, analysis, concerns, or the rationale behind your call. The pitch is optional and may be added later.

Each time you rate a stock, CAPS updates the community intelligence for the company, which may or may not change its CAPS rating. For more information, visit the Help tab at the top of the page.

This is my theory for Australia:

The Aussies have an impressive array of precious mineral resources, such as bauxite (aluminum ore), black coal, brown coal, copper, gold, iron ore, ilmenite, lead, manganese, rare earth elements, tantalum, tin, uranium and zinc, cobalt, diamonds (both gem ...More

But we wouldn't know how to pick them out anyway. It also means we have very few big losers - and that's quite helpful over time.

Recs 1 (EWA) marc64 (98.99) Submitted: 5/07/08 10:47 AM : Start Price: $28.30 EWA Score: 0.26 This is my theory for Australia: The Aussies have an impressive array of precious mineral resources, such as bauxite (aluminum ore), black coal, brown coal, copper, gold, iron ore, ilmenite, lead, manganese, rare earth elements, tantalum, tin, uranium and zinc, cobalt, diamonds (both gem and industrial), lithium, phosphate, rutile, silver, tungsten, zircon, magnesite, molybdenum, nickel, niobium, platinum group metals, shale oil, and vanadium. In addition, Australia is the world's top source for: zinc, lead, nickel, mineral sands (rutile and zircon), tantalum and uranium, and enjoys top-six status for: bauxite, black coal, brown coal, copper, gold, iron ore, ilmenite, lithium, manganese ore, niobium, silver and industrial diamond. The biggest driver of prices for the Aussie's mineral wealth is demand from China, and the most economically important of Australia's resources due to exploding demand by China are, iron ore, coal and uranium. What is my point? Proximity to both China and India, monetization though the increased global trade impelled by drought (which forces imports of many food products) is a prescription for a lot of cash changing hands, and that looks like growth to this EFT.
