11/14/2007: ETF Expert’s Morning Review

1. Is the water in the China teapot about to bubble over? ETFGuide explores a way to profit from a China downdraft.
Recently, I gave my take on the China syndrome. You might wish to get a gander at the countries that export to China.
2. Some ETFs own companies that are packed with Warren Buffett "faves." Morningstar identifies 8 ETFs with plenty of "wide-moat" stocks.
Although wide moat stocks are nice in theory, it’s difficult to get excited about the bland list of 8. I’d rather go "global" for my wide-moat stocks, like those in the Global Consumer Staples Fund (KXI).
3. All that glitters is phospates? Brad Zigler makes the case that "agribusiness" is more profitable than ever. Specifically, global companies involved in agrochemical and biofuel production are well-positioned for the current decade.
Note: Agribusiness has been a hot topic in the blog world. You can get my thoughts on the exchange-traded fund best suited for the sector, the Market Vectors Agribusiness Fund (MOO).
