Emerging Market Funds/ETFs Starting To Look Cheap (CHN, EWM, LDF, MSF, RAF, TAO, TRF, IF, EZA, CH)

Every day we cover many stocks at the end of the day which are hitting new 52-week lows.  Very rarely do we include ETF’s or closed-end mutual funds in the coverage on that list.  But what is becoming amazing is the daily reckoning we are witnessing where the 52-week low list is dominated by emerging market instruments that trade on the NYSE or AMEX as ETF’s and as closed-end funds.  The list is becoming so staggering that you wonder just were the money really is going.  The US dollar is getting some strength finally, but the markets in emerging markets are getting pounded daily in these instruments.

ETF Winners & Losers (June 25, 2007)

DJIA                                  13,352.05; (-8.21; -0.06%)
S&P500                            1,497.74 (-4.82; -0.32%)

NYSE Volume                3,098,570,000

Once again, we have dropped most of the ‘leveraged’ and ‘Short’ or ‘Ultra-Short’ ETF’s.  The idea is to show which sectors were the winners and losers.  We also screen out if too many ETF’s tied to the same sector are showing up so we can show the winners and losers by groups rather than solely be the numbers.  Here are today’s:

iShares MSCI Taiwan Index (EWT)                             +0.83%

ETF Winners & Losers (June 14, 2007)

DJIA                     13,553.73; +71.38 (0.53%)….DIAMONDS Trust (DIA) +0.67%
S&P500              1,522.97; +7.30 (0.48%)…SPDRs ‘Spyders’ (SPY) +0.64%

NYSE Volume          2,813,638,000
NASDAQ Volume    1,996,214,000

These are not the absolute highest performing ETF’s because some such as the Ultra ETF’s use leverage, but here are the normal unleveraged ET’s that won today:

iShares MSCI Brazil Index                                         (EWZ) +2.76%
iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index                     (FXI) +2.58%
PowerShares Dynamic Aggressive Growth           (PGZ) +2.47%
iPath S&P GSCI Total Return Index ETN                 (GSP) +2.37%
iShares Dow Jones US Oil Equipment Index         (IEZ) +2.28%
iShares MSCI South Korea Index                              (EWY) +2.27%
United States Natural Gas                                         (UNG)    +2.23%
iShares S&P GSCI Commodity-Indexed Trust       (GSG)    +2.11%
Claymore/Robeco Developed World Equity            (EEW) +2.10%
Oil Services HOLDRs                                                  (OIH) +2.10%
iShares MSCI South Africa Index                               (EZA) +2.09%

As always, even on a second strong up day there were some losers.  We back out the ‘inverse fund’ ETF’s and also the leveraged versions of each.  Also, the real estate group was the least impressive and we only included a couple variations to prevent repetition.  Here are today’s losers:

DJ Wilshire REIT ETF                                                 (RWR) (-1.16%)
iShares Cohen & Steers Realty Majors                   (ICF) (-1.14%)
WisdomTree Japan High-Yielding Equity               (DNL) (-0.94%)
KBW Regional Banking ETF                                      (KRE) (-0.78%)
Shares S&P Global Healthcare                                 (IXJ) (0.58%)
iShares MSCI Malaysia Index                                     (EWM) (0.42%)
