Global ETFs Gearing Up for Another Run
Page 2

 
At present, I am already holding two international ETFs: iShares Xinhua China 25 (FXI - commentary - Cramer's Take) and iPath India Index (INP - commentary - Cramer's Take). In case you missed my original buy entries, the present short-term correction in both ETFs offers secondary, low-risk buy entries. This is shown on the charts of FXI and INP below:

In addition to the international ETFs illustrated above, others to consider include iShares Japan (EWJ - commentary - Cramer's Take), iShares Hong Kong (EWH - commentary - Cramer's Take) and iShares Mexico (EWW - commentary - Cramer's Take). (To see the complete realm of international ETFs I trade, download and check out my free Morpheus ETF Roundup, a good piece to review over the holiday week.)

We don't expect stocks and ETFs to have much momentum until volume returns to the market, at least not until the new year begins. As such, be careful to avoid overtrading throughout the next week; low-volume markets are notoriously choppy.

If you're buying any pullbacks in the international ETFs, the best plan of action may be to simply set your stop and forget about it until the new year. Taking a "set it and forget it" approach to stops over the next week will help prevent the urge to overtrade in a light-volume market, while still enabling you to capitalize on opportunities that may follow through when the pace of trading eventually picks up.
