Plays on trade with Cuba.

CUBA
The Herzfeld Cari - $6.496

- $6.45
There is a way to trade on this uncertainty. Tom Herzfeld's closed-end Caribbean Basin Fund (Cuba) rises or falls in reaction to the latest news flash concerning Cuba. This is because it invests in companies whose shares would be boosted by the embargo's elimination. The fund usually trades at a premium to its net asset value.

Western Union Com - $18.83

- $19.21
The closed-end fund's holdings include Western Union (WU), which operates in Cuba, and home builder Lennar (LEN), which Herzfeld says has a business plan for the island.

FCX
Freeport Mcmoran - $84.57
