EWJ versus ITF |
|
|
What is the main difference between EWJ versus ITF?
EWJ is measured by the MSCI Japan Index, while ITF is by S&P/Tokyo
Stock Price 150 Index...
Besides the share price difference, both EWJ and ITF are behaving the
same way...
So I'm confused why would a person would want to buy ITF over EWJ?
Thank you
James

Hi James,
As you note it relates to the index they're designed to track. Think
of our market - you can track the DOW, the Nasdaq, the SPX, the Rut2000
or the W5000. They all represent our market, but different aspects.
And when one segment of the market moves, most often the others move
too. Indeed, when one segment does NOT follow the others, it's known
as a divergence and is a red flag for traders and trend players.
However, before you decide, you will also want to consider JOF and JEQ
- also ETF's that play Japan.
For my money, I chart them at BigCharts and see which one paints the
prettier picture.
best,
rono

"US mkts top out late Wednesday - early Thusday."
This 20 day bull rally will end late Wednesday Nov 9th or
early Thursday Nov 10th topping out and reversing for another
buy opportunity.
Nasdaq tops out 2200 area.
Dow Jones tops out this week in the 10,630 area.
The bottom of this little two day bear move is over first thing
Wednesday.
Then up to the 20 day top. The actual time of the 20 day to will be
narrowed down when the next one day bull move is underway.
LONGTERM:
Next substantial longterm top for US Stock market: Mid January 2006.
I expect there will also be a SWEET Santa Rally this year (2005)
starting early-mid December.
The next substantial longterm top for NIKKEI jap market is September
area, 2006. It will move over 17000.
Your thoughts appreciated.
Good luck,
Steve |

"US mkts top out about mid-late Wednesday."
Here's my take using arcs:
This 20 day bull rally will continue upward into mid-late Wednesday Nov
9th
topping out and reversing for another buy opportunity.
Nasdaq tops out 2200 area.
Dow Jones tops out this week in the 10,630 area.
Next substantial longterm top for US Stock market: Mid January 2006.
Next substantial longterm top for NIKKEI jap market: September 2006
17000+ area.
Your thoughts appreciated.
Good luck,
Steve |

Here's my intraday stock market update:
I expect a lackluster day tomorrow
(Friday Nov 11, 2005):
(also Vets day).
NASDAQ
Nasdaq hits 2200 tomorrow by 11:45 AM.
It should end the day flat.
Naz on Monday should be down.
It will move back up one last
time by next Wednesday.
DOW JONES
Dow topped off today (Thursday)
It should end flat Friday or slightly
down. The DOW will continue down a day
or so then move back up for a final
top next week Wednesday ish.
I expect the Nasdaq to do a little better
then the DOW tomorrow.
I plan to stop or drastically slow my
intraday forecast posts in this NG
at least tentatively.
Good luck,
Steve
PS
If you want individual forecasts for 2 year,
2 month, 2 weeks, 2 days or 2 hour tops
and bottoms, E-mail me. my rates are inexpensive,
but I produce gainful results. The first
forecast is on me. I've yet to meat anyone
who can time the market as good, certainly not
as far into the future.
Mistakes occur if I'm rushed, but I devote
more time to my clients than myself.
If I'm wrong, the penalty I suffer is your
business. I suggest to start out with small
positions so that you will be safe.
