CAPS Rating:

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.

Recs 1 (GAF) yes2jbs (98.90) Submitted: 5/31/08 9:27 AM : Start Price: $71.65 GAF Score: -1.84 Emerging Economies such as those in Africa and the Middle East will grow faster than any market at home including the S&P 500. These Economies have strong and appreciating currencies and can aford the higher prices of commodities since they have ample supply and subsidize commodity prices for their citizens.

Some of the Sector Weightings: Industrial Materials: 28.96% Financial Services: 24.16% Healthcare: 10.66% Telecomm.: 9.74% Consumer Services: 5.59% Energy: 5.25% Consumer Goods: 3.88% -- Some of the Top Holdings: Teva Pharmaceutical Industries (one of the leaders in producing generic pharmaceuticals): 9.46% MTN Group (Mobile Telecommunications company in South Africa): 5.87% Impala Platinum Holdings (2nd largest platinum producer in the world): 5.57% Sasol Limited (Coal-to-liquid and gas-to-liquid fuel focus, along with oil and gas exploration in Africa): 5.25% These companies and many of the others (Remgro, Anglo Platinum, etc...) in this ETF are certainly worth taking the time to look into them. My opinion and $2.00 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks, but here goes anyway: Tremendous risk-reward potential here. I'm holding onto this one until retirement.

But whereas the economy in the US is slow right now, these economies are experiencing growth in industries that are not really connected in the global economy. Also, you can expect this stock to go up in the next few years due to globalization and growing economies.... Report this Post Replies: 0 \| Reply \| Permalink Oops!
