Commitments of Traders Report (COT) Proxy of South-East Asian Countries

Ever wonder which country's economy is in an uptrend or downtrend? Want to know if investors are putting in hot money or pulling them out of the country? If you have this information, you can better allocate your capital especially if you hold stocks in various countries. You follow what the "big investors" do and try to reap in the rewards. In this series we will look at the market performance of the South-East Asian countries. We start off with Vietnam.
Vietnam's economy is one of the underperformers in South-East Asia, while the rest (Singapore, Malaysia) are experiencing somewhat of a bull run. Vietnam has lagged quite a bit.

How can you play Vietnam's stock market?
1) For foreign private investors you will have to fly into Vietnam and open a local brokerage account pending approval.
2) or play the Market Vectors Vietnam ETF.

We will look at the 2nd option which is accessible to all!
