At the end of 2002 I bought BZL, because it was going to liquidate. The liquidation never occured and the stock more than doubled, so now I bought it because I...
What's going on with TDF? I own some and I'd like to retain it for long term appreciation, but it's sitting at an 8.5% premium and that tells me to sell. The...
Congrats Scott, but it would be presumptuous to assume Harvard did not reinvest their proceeds in China through other means. Good luck in 2004, arbman....
Thanks for your comments, but I think Harvard would have to be pretty sharp to have accomplished the equivalent of TDF's change in discount from about 15%(as I...
A number of country funds are now at premia. Anyone aware of some special risks to PGF, CHN, TDF, IIF or IFN? Why is IRL still at a substantial discount when...
Not familiar with all of them, but know that CHN became a hard to borrow stock and I'm guessing the others are as well. I would also want to know if there are...

Hi Why not short the stocks, because you just can't borrow them or because there is an increased risk of short squeezes ? How big risk would you say it is that...
If you can't borrow, you can't short and if you have ever been a victim of a short squeeze you won't ever want to be in one again. There are easier ways to...

For those who played IGF (India Growth Fund) last year when it liquidated there may be another ~$.10/share in the offing due to a possible refund of $550,000...
Greetings! I had held TDF for a number of years and finally it began to respond to the improving China market and is now selling at a significant premium. I ...
... APF is comparable to SAF (Japan & emerging Asia mix), and currently trades at a somewhat larger discount. Note, tho, that the discounts on all Asia region...
I like your choice, but I feel better with SAF. Note the table below (from "ETF connect")which I trust I've copied correctly. CHN which commands an awsome...

You have it on the nose from our point of view. Korea is an expensive hedge using the ETFs and there just isn't enough in it for us, especially with the large...
