SPDR INDEX SHS FDS (RWX)

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 members 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.

I simply used the screener to find all of the 5 star stocks with the greatest 52-week losses. 5 stars should make them good picks and the high 52-week loss should make them cheap. We’ll see how it works!

rebalancing my CAPs portfolio today with some index picks:
20% emerg mkt indices (+/- 5%) 4 long picks
15% developed mkt indices (+/-5%) 3 long picks
25%(net) my equity bets indiv stocks/industries (+/-5%) 4 NET picks (long less short picks)
15% commodity indices (+/- 5%) 3 long picks
20% fixed income (+/-5%) 4 long picks
5% currency strat (+/-5%) 1 long pick

fixed income/commodity/currency picks will smooth out volatility in (the markets and) the equity portion of my portfolio. This should steady my LT performance/CAPs rating overtime. Although "my equity bets" portion are counted as net long picks leftover, I'll try to limit my total outstanding shorts to no more than 50% of my total picks to keep from excessively overweighting my speculation.

I'm very excited about this international Real Estate ETF, excluding USA real estate. The international scale of this investment vehicle avoids the risk of any regional real estate meltdown(s), and capitalizes on the huge sloshing sound as realty cash (especially from the USA) flees freely from region to region seeking safer real estate havens.

In other words, this EFT captures the effect of gains offsetting the loses (in extra-USA investments), because real estate capital tends to stay in real estate.

The harsh reality of this bet is that the USA is excluded, which makes this also a bet that USA troubles are (sadly) not over. For now, I am using CAPS to check out day-to-day physics of this listing, and if it has traction, I might eventually put some greenback on the table if I like what I see in the emerging business climate.

Top holding are:
Westfield Group    Regional Malls    8.66%    
Unibail-Rodamco    Diversified    6.20%    
Mitsui Fudosan Co    Real Estate Operating Company    5.12%    
Brookfield Asset Mgmt Inc    Real Est Operating Company    4.75%    
Land Securities Gp    Diversified    4.32%    
British Land Co    Diversified    2.91%    
Capitaland    Real Estate Operating Company    2.30%    
Hammerson    Diversified    1.94%    
Henderson Land Dev    Real Estate Operating Company    1.92%    
Hang Lung Prop    Real Estate Operating Company    1.90%    
Nippon Building Fd    Office    1.87%    

Here's my case in more detail:
Cash is sloshing around without a happy, secure home, and increasingly some are seeing the present problem for what it is: "insolvency."

That ain't nothing!

The question everyone is asking is "What to do?" Where can I stash my cash, and maybe make profits in the mean time?

I'm betting Investors with disposable capital will eventually conclude that one good, safe place to park their spare billions is in... nice ol' rent producing real capital outside the USA. I think the real estate types already have their pith helmets packed, but this EFT will benefit as increasingly others pile on.

From the profitably perspective, the really great real estate is international in scope, sometimes because it caters to the Plaza set, which is going to pay what it takes to get a lease wherever they decide is the best place at the moment. (If you have too much risk and trouble in the USA, you can check into a London location.) Haliburton just proves my point, moving their main offices to Dubai.

Basically, the cha-ching! sound you hear is the obscenely wealthy overpaying for their next hot lease... in a newly hot market. High end development is done with high end reality companies, just the types reflected in this mix.

So in CAPS land, I am really keen to what this EFT might do, and very interested in watching this closely in the weeks ahead. In real life, I have questions about whether EFT's are safe, and curious to hear from other Fools about their take on EFT's fundamental security. Any juicy intel, fellow Fools?
