Profit-prone Asian SPDERS

Our ETF of the day is the SPDR S&P China ETF Fund, (NYSE Arca: GXC) This ETF trades on the New York Stock Exchange and is currently trading at $67.62. The Pacific/Asia (excluding Japan) market may still hold promise as a great place to invest, while the US markets continue to recover. This exchange-traded fund excludes investments in Japan which I believe gives the fund a slight performance advantage. The fund's total return since inception is 9.27%, and it's one year market return, as of 1/31/2010 is 66.43%. The fund is a little pricey, but I think it's worth a look and a possible investment.

Portfolio Update

By Rick Walter I have posted a new Biotechnology portfolio . It's total return as of November 25, 2009 is 3.4%. However, to download and use it you will have to subscribe to the portfolio, of course. On an important note, I consider each portfolio to be well diversified in its particular sector but I've recently decided to add stock futures and options positions to each portfolio which will increase each portfolio's return but lower the risks going forward.
