    Aside from those 2-3 people that found Malaysia, how many that Lindsay interviewed got it right that didn’t make the video cut?

          One person knew and didn’t make the cut.

              Hmmm! Interesting choice of ETF for the Asia Market Howard. I love ETFs and yes Barclays iShares provide some really good plays among them EWJ which gives you good exposure to Japan and EWS which focuses on Singapore. I own these two ETFs and also held EWM last year, but I got rid of it; it has not done well lately. With this latest downturn both EWS and EWJ held together nicely, but EWM took a hit. It’s portfolio allocation is too heavily vested in Financials (31.2%). And I really distrust Malaysian banks having worked in the region doing the Asian crises of the late 1990s. Plus Oil & Gas only makes up 0.7% of the portfolio. Go figure! I think you are better off owning Singapore and Korea in the non-Japan Asia/Pacific sector. Look at Korea as well EWY because this ETF has the very best Korean companies, including shipping giants such as No.1 in the world Hyundai Heavy Industries. Korea is the top ship builder in the world and orders grew 40% this year.

              Disclosure: Maximo owns EWJ and EWS.

                I was just going to wait for David Kalt to tell me where Malaysia is.

                  Awful nice to give them a map of just Asia.

                  Loved the poser at the end and the French dude….need a replay to see how close “hella close” actually was.

                  Lindsay, the outfit was rockin…very contextual.

                    Who cares where Malaysia is - Lindsay, that dress is you -classic and exotic. It will be tough to top that, but I will keep tuning in to see you try and for the occasional geography lesson.
