We’ve Uncovered a Major New Profit Opportunity

By Ashley Moore

Shah recommends the Direxion Daily European Financials Bear 1x Shares ETF (NYSE Arca: EUFS) to short the banks in the Eurozone. The fund is set up to gain the same amount that the European Financials Index loses in a day.

To short the euro, Shah recommends the ProShares Ultrashort Euro ETF (NYSE Arca: EUO). The goal of this fund is to gain twice the daily losses of the euro. If the euro declines by 5%, you stand to make 10%. Both will allow you to profit from the uncertainty in the Eurozone.

The Bottom Line: While some investors are panicking after this week’s Greek debt news, that’s the worst thing you can do. Even though they did not get a deal yesterday, they will eventually get one. Until that happens, take advantage of the dip and profit from the euro and Eurozone banks.

Best ETFs: SPDR Euro STOXX 50 (HFEZ)
Country/Region: Germany/Europe

Andrea Merkel’s been a great leader for Germany, but that doesn’t mean you should buy an exchange-traded fund that’s 100% weighted in German stocks unless you own a significant number of ETFs.

For the rest of us who only really need four to five funds to dominate the world, it makes sense to spread out over the entire European continent.

The SPDR Euro STOXX 50 Currency Hedged ETF (NYSEARCA:HFEZ) does the best job of avoiding the whole currency issue at the lowest annual fee while still staying faithful to the German focus.

With just $28.1 million in assets and a tiny amount of volume, it’s not something you want to hold if you’re into trading ETFs. On the bright side, it accounts for 33.2% of HFEZ’s portfolio, the second-largest weighting behind only France.

Regarding the portfolio itself, it’s got double-digit representation from five different sectors: Financials at 22.0%, Industrials at 14.4%, Consumer Discretionary at 11.2%, Consumer Staples at 11.0%, and Health Care at 10.6%.

The remaining 30% is divided amongst the remaining six sectors. Up 21% over the past year, it’s management expense ratio is a bargain at 0.32% after a contractual fee waiver.

A soaring emerging market you likely haven’t considered

by Alexander Green

Eastern Europe is converging with Western Europe. State control is out. Free markets are in.


Consider the SPDR S&P Emerging Europe Fund (GUR).

This exchange-traded fund tracks a market-cap-weighted index of stocks based in Russia and Eastern Europe.

It’s small. (Total assets are only $53 million.) It’s relatively illiquid. And roughly half the fund is invested in Russia.

However, it gives you access to some of the most inexpensive equities in the world. And these markets have entered a quiet uptrend.

These stocks are ‘dirt-cheap’ today

by Justin Brill

The benchmark S&P 500 Index is up nearly 16% year to date.

The STOXX Europe 600 Index is up a staggering 24% year to date.

U.S. stocks are roughly 65% more expensive than European stocks today.

by Dr. Steve Sjuggerud

Country ETFs Worth Owning: Germany

by Martin Fisch

If you’re going to own a Germany-focused country ETF, it all comes down to personal preference. You can buy the unhedged version in the iShares MSCI Germany ETF (NYSEARCA:EWG) or the hedged version, iShares Currency Hedged MSCI Germany ETF (NYSEARCA:HEWG).

The only difference being that the HEWG is hedged and that privilege costs you an extra five basis points at 0.53% annually. The only holdings of the hedged version are units of the EWG and cash. Otherwise, they’re the same.

One of the best features of EWG is the number of holdings. With just 59 stocks and a top ten that accounts for 56% of the ETFs $4.7 billion in assets, it’s much more focused than iShares’ UK ETF, which has almost double the number of stocks.

The EWG has achieved an annual total return of 9.7% over the past five years, more than double the EWU’s UK performance over the same period.

Andrea Merkel continues to look like the dominant leader in Europe, despite recent calls for her ouster and disappointing election results.

Germany remains mainland Europe’s economic engine.

Chart of the day: Bearish outlook for Europe’s stocks

by Nicole Elliott

The top 50 companies of the 12 euro-zone countries are sometimes known as super-sector leaders.

Unfortunately, the index has been leading on the way down so far this year following the failure last month to surpass the high in 2017.

The doji at the 3,680-point level completes a triple-top chart pattern, and the Ichimoku moving averages and the Western 50- and 200-day ones look set to turn bearish.

Last week, it managed to bounce from decent cloud support, but it is now likely to be capped by the top of that same cloud.

Allow for some more hesitation while keeping an eye out for a weekly close below the cloud, which ought to set off another sudden 400-point lurch lower.

2 Interesting UK stocks:

Dignity Plc (funerals) at 930p

Capita Plc (outsourcer) at 140p

Both stocks are down 60% and more in the last months. But maybe the reaction of the market was exaggerated?
