Excellent Israeli etf. Significant recent correction. Diverse consortium of holdings.

Even though I expect this ETF to outperform the S&P, I must point out that it's currently selling at a 25% premium to its NAV! Buyers at this level are one geopolitical shock away from an evaporation of this premium. I would buy GAF instead. It's heavily weighted towards South Africa (gold!) but its second largest concentration is Israel without the ridiculous premium.

Oy Vay! How else could I rate this one. Look at the world and you'll see, these markets are hot.

This country has been around since the beginning of time. It's not going anywhere soon. Remember 1948?
