31 Country P/E and PEG Ratios [view article]
Arao:First, point is that the data is now completely out of date due to intervening circumstances, and is of little use at this time.
Second, I have asked the data vendor, Thomson Analytics, a similar question. The simple answer is nobody knows, because they simply aggregate published numbers from the many investment research houses they survey.
There is no defined standard for earnings projections. The methods may vary by source. Bad as it is, it's the best one can get in terms of broad survey data. Reply

what do the earnings here refer to? Operating earnings or core earnings? The US market based on core earnings is still expensive but looks reasonable of operating earnings' basis.Thanks for sharing the info!

New Short-Selling Regulations in Asia: Can American Investors Profit? [view article]
Mmmm, very interesting, never realised that there was no shorting in those markets.Nothing wrong with shorting as a counter balance, naked shorters should have a lifetime ban imposed but I can see problems arising out of the leverage factor; should this be allowed; let alone the margin concept.
My conclusion is that less than 20% of persons using margin accounts; thus saving cash; understand that their shares are loaned out, possibly to be used against their current position and there is always the possibility of a margin call which equals pay up now or we sell a proportion of them to cover the call.

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
