Q. I think Vietnam will benefit from some of the investment rotating out of China into Vietnam. How do I get exposure to their stock market? Any mutual funds that focus on Vietnam?
Thanks
Thanks
A. There are 2 funds that trade principally on the London AIM (the alternate investment market) and these can both be purchased also through the US pink sheet system. A 3rd fund with real estate holdings trades in the AIM only.
1) The Vietnamese Opportunity Fund trades in London under VOF and pink sheets under VTOPF.PK. This fund is managed by Vinacapital. See:
http://www.vinacapital.com
2) A newer (since july/06) fund is Vietnam Holdings, trades in London under VNH and pink sheets under VNMHF.PK. This fund is managed by Swiss financier Juerg Vontobel. See:
http://www.vietnamholdings.com
If you're in north America, don't be too alarmed by the pink sheets designation. That "F" at the end of the symbol means the foreign section of pink sheets stocks. Some highly respectable foreign companies trade there. The "F" designation means that no shares actually trade in the USA, that all orders are executed by a syndicate of brokers directly upon the foreign exchange that hosts the stock.
In other words, if an investor enters a pink sheet order for, say, VNMHT.pk, it will actually be filled in London. It's a good idea to enter an order that's good for at least 2 days, because the London AIM closes about the time north American markets open at 9:30 am, so a hypothetical order entered for VNMHF.pk at 11:30 am has no chance of being filled until London opens the following day.
A caution: both the above-mentioned funds are trusts based in the Cayman islands. There's no recourse. There's no SEC, no watchdog authority whatsoever. It's a good idea to study the websites extremely carefully before making any purchase.
The Vietnamese stock exchange is based in Ho Chi Minh city and there may be a 2nd one in Hanoi. These exchanges are only about 6 years old and they are suffering most of the turbulent problems the Chinese exchanges did 15 and 20 years ago - overselling of stock, wild speculation, insider trading and so on. A couple of weeks ago the minister of finance held a high-level conference to address these problems, putting in place some controls that address these issues. So an investor should expect a rocky ride and should be prepared to absorb high level of risk.
Bloomberg's foreign market indices page updates the Ho Chi Minh index every day, and another daily news source in English is http://www.thanhniennews.com/business.
As you're probably aware, the Vietnamese economy is booming, country recently entered the World Trade organization, its stock market may serve as a counterpoise to overly-frothy and possibly-correcting north American markets. Wishing you the best of luck.

How would the world be different today if the South were allowed to leave the USA instead of having Civil War?
Q. Slavery? Population? Commerce? Immigration? Other wars like World War 1, World War 2, Vietnam. Would the CSA and USA be friendly today? Any other thoughts?
Well, I was hoping for more fact based and insightful answers, but I guess I got what I paid for out of the first 5 answers.
I might have to let this go to voting because then I can vote "no best answer".

A. Hello, kind JohnL. I am an alternate dimension traveller who has intercepted your message because of a problem with my zigamafilch (similar to your "toaster"). I can answer your question because I am living in the storyline you are asking about.
In this dimension, changes began before the civil war, as Abraham Lincoln never became president. He instead became the inventor of the childrens' swing-set w/slide.
I don't have enough space here to describe all the history that led to this different outcome, so will simply answer your questions and hope that I have another chance to contact you sometime.
The South embraced slavery so thoroughly that it became the world's richest economy by 1900, and then experienced a crash so severe most white slave owners committed suicide. The crash was the result of the strike imposed by the slaves who received financial backing from the North, as the South had become so greedy that it was price gouging the North.
The result of this crash was the withering away of the South as it had no workforce, and the dearth of practical skill among whites led all who had capital to leave for the North (and parts of the Carribbean) while many of those who remained killed each other in fist fights.
The world wars still happened because international policies of the North were similar to those in what you now call the USA. Hitler was allowed to do more damage though, because the neighborly North was still busy cleaning up the mess left behind by the South. Pearl Harbor still happened; so the North did become involved in WW2 but the focus on the Japanese was more intense. Hitler was eventually quashed as he was in your reality, but it was a nastier, longer fight and a lot more people suffered.
The properties and territories of the South, for the most part abandoned by 1922, were absorbed by the North in a real estate deal known as the "Alabama Rummage Sale". By decree of the Northern Liberal Humanitarian Association (NLHA) funds from properties were given to all slaves and their decendants - in short: the "40 Acres and a mule" deal was actually carried out but with far greater rewards, though nothing could compensate for the trauma of slavery.
That's all I can tell you today, the "toast" has "popped up".
Sincerely, and channeled by Dr. Obvious - Me

Even if we oppose the Democrats, shouldn't we acknowledge lord Obama's achievements?
Q. They have destroyed real estate---while claiming to want it to recover. The rules and laws that the Democrats have enacted has destroyed it. (New Lead Paint rules and the SAFE act)
They have turned victory into defeat. Just like the liberals did in Vietnam.
They have announced a free trade pact with South Korea--while claiming to be "the working mans friend".
Now they have granted equal protection in the military to those who chose a morally deviant and dangerous lifestyle. Never mind the effect such a policy has on the war.
