net asset value

net asset value (NAV) per share for a fund
The market value of one share of a closed-end, exchange-traded, or preferred fund. The NAV is calculated daily by taking the fund's total assets (securities, cash, and accrued earnings), subtracting the fund's liabilities, and dividing by the number of shares outstanding. The NAV does not include the sales charge. The official NAV is calculated once a day by most U.S. funds at 4:00pm Eastern Time. Partly in response to the growth of open-end exchange-traded funds, some conventional funds have begun calculating an NAV several times a day or, in a few cases, hourly. The more frequent values calculated for exchange-traded funds are not "official" NAVs.

ajtj, any thoughts on the RUT? Just looking at the daily I could see a bounce here or a continued slide to the TL near 650:

<what is "NAV">

AJ, don’t know whether you are kidding or not; shame on you if you do (g). If you don’t – of course there is no net asset value for EWJ, but there is NAV for closed-end funds, including Japan funds such as JOF. I prefer to avoid funds which trade at a premium to NAV, which often reflects excessive optimism IMO. Haven’t followed this long enough to have a strong opinion.
