Hi Gang, I've been following a map printed in the San Francisco Chronicle that is supplied by Bloomberg. It is a map with color coding for % up or down. It is not clear what metrics they derive the data from but it is interesting because you can see where markets are up or down in relationship to other countries.

What is really interesting is that about 80% of the time the US and Venezuela are opposite. When the US is up Venezuela is down and vise versa. What is really interesting is that Venezuela is more volatile. Yesterday the US was down between -0% to -.75% while Venezuela was up between 3% and 6%. This is typical.

I have not found any ETF that weights Venezuela significantly or any stocks that can be traded here in the US so I don't know how to take advantage of that quirk. Any suggestions?

Best,

Allen
