    ETFs: Implications of Goldman Sachs Predictions [view article]
    I agree that the world is developing but I still don't think America and Europe will not have periods of expansion. A lot of the emerging economies will experience thier growing pains of booms and busts and if you do not have an industry you are done. Reply

    Why not just by a global/ Total stock fund ex-US and not worry about it? Vanguard has one, any suggestions as to similar funds/ETFs most welcome and requested... Reply

    To catch up with the US economy by any of the bric nation is a dream. There are lot more factors that contribute to the nation's economic development, like corruption, poverty, political stability, law enforcement, ease of doing business, clamping to terrorism, etc. The list goes on.
    Goldman may have Phd dudes in economic, so did those guys who came up with CDOs and exotic derivatives and lost billions of dollars.     Reply

    Agree totally with the comments, not the author, Mr. Tom Lydon.

    Pump and Dump was the name of the game in the 2000 crash. Goldman and Abby Cohn were a lot to blame for that and they are doing the same again with the BRIC group. That is all they could say in 1999, 'stocks are going higher, because they have been going higher'.

    The author should look at the 200 day moving average of all these countries and factor in a global recession before jumping on the bandwagon. A reality check is in order.

    "Goldman Sachs’ economic team recently pulled out their crystal ball to come up with a new world order for the year 2040"

    Just because all of the stocks he mentined have gone down a lot does not mean they can't go down much lower!

    Goldman and the author will be right one day, but in my judgment, the long climb back up the mountain will start from way down deep in the valley, after lingering near the graves of failed companies for several years.     Reply

    Goldman analysts all have PhD's in Pumping and Dumping. They are academics caught-up in the whirlwind of a tremendous surprise in expectations from these disorganized and often corrupt 3rd world nations and their ability to produce and export as much as they are/have. The same psychology that pumped and dumped the Internet and caused the housing bubble is the same psychology driving the FDI into these DC3 (disorganized & corrupt 3rd world) nations. Reply

    Didn't Goldman and this jerk just go bankrupt? Short term memory must be gone. Reply

    A new acronym for some of these countries, following the success of BRICs could be "PIVOT".. "Philippines - Indonesia - Vietnam - Oil OPEC countries - Turkey". Reply

    How would a 3:1 split on FXI relate to FXP, the ProShares 2:1 inverse of FXI?

    Also, how would a 3:1 split affect puts in FXI?

    I would appreciate your insight on these questions.     Reply

    The Swiss ETF - EWL seems to always an average performer.Others like EWG,EWD are probably better bets. Reply

    S&P 1500 Earnings Revisions [view article]
    I used to pay attention to analysts forecasts.. Now I read the reports for a view of the business against its industry and the rely on technicals for a top or bottom... I like to hear that an analyst has increased his rating of any stock I own as that pushes the value up... But the rest is just reading chicken entrails...

    Thx jegan ;-)     Reply

    My guess is they are too high, the consumer is caving. Malls, commercial real estate is going vacant, watch this play out in the next 6 months. Reply
