Pimco will also favour emerging market sovereign debt, said McCulley. 'The Dubai panic gave us additional legroom to enter into these trades. We are also adding to positions in EM corporate bonds

Moneyweek: The biggest threat for 2010 – countries going bust



Quite a Euro centric article but nicely underlines the broadest theme from the Gary Jenkins interview linked to above. I'm not selling I/SEMB yet though.

The movement of this stock is a bit of a mystery to me and part of the reason why I put so many currency pairs in the header. Still over 6% dividend monthly so cant complain.

I presume the drop at the US bell today was because it pays out .53c this month and today's the qualifying date?

Difficult to be bullish on either £, $ or Euro - maybe these will be offer a decent alternative?

800,000 now 900,000 units demand increasing.

[praipus] 03/8/2009 13:47

Now up to 600,000 units!

[praipus] 20/4/2009 20:22

Seems very few considering the state of the developed markets but agree with you a good sign.

Interesting to see that the trend of reducing the units in issue has reversed after stabilising at the 300000 level for a while. We're back up to 400000 units.

I would imagine that the ETF systems are setup to change the units in issue based on demand so that an increase in units in issue should be a good sign.

Amazing so sometimes shares can go up as well!

AIG who are 80% owned by US government look like their in trouble again. Last time they caused all the ETF's to be suspended.



"American Insurance Group, the insurance giant that is 80-percent owned by the US government, is in discussions with the government to secure additional funds so it can keep operating after next Monday, when it will report the largest loss in U.S. corporate history, CNBC has learned."

My pleasure karesplat

Russia and other members of the top ten have significant earnings from resources, oil and gold interests so I wondered if there may be some correlation its not obvious if there is but perhaps in the case of gold it adds some inflation linked security.




Have added these to the header for the time being.

An interesting article, thanks Praipus.

Correction market cap of £17,390,484 so not one the big boys are likely to play with.

[praipus] 11/2/2009 13:20

RNS shows only 300,000 units of IEMB in issue approximating total cap of £15m. Not sure if this is correct but it seems low.

What I wanted to do was show the emerging maket currency strength relative to the USD giving a pictorial representation of either higher cash inflows from emerging markets or less. However ADVFN cant show some of the pairs with emerging currency first i.e. RUBUSD wont display unfortuately so I have to show it USDRUB. I have left the code in so if the pair becomes available it should display.
