Spanish-based stocks, ETFs, and closed end funds (CEFs).

I start with the iShares Spain ETF (EWP) and list the stocks that have ADRs publicly traded on the NYSE, AMEX, or NASDAQ, and thus have a liquid market for US investors. I also include the holdings of the Spain Fund (SNP), a closed end fund devoted to Spain stocks. SNP is trading at a 20% premium to NAV, which might make it pricey.

I also include US based stocks that have or may want a presence in Spain, as well as European based companies with significant business in Spain.

Closed end mutual fund focused on Spain. As of July 5, 2007, up 11.1% YTD. However, it trades at a 20% premium over its NAV, which might mean that there's not too much upside potential.

  • WMT
    Wal Mart Stores
  • $54.28
  • -0.48%
  • $54.53

Has no presence in Spain and might have difficulty entering the Spanish market because of competition with France's Carrefour and Spain's Corte Ingles. In July, 2006, Wal Mart abandoned the German market. In Germany, analysts say, Wal-Mart never got traction in a market characterized by unrelenting price competition, well-established discounters and the cultural resistance of German shoppers to hypermarkets, which sell fresh vegetables a few aisles away from lawn mowers.

A. i can only view gs's down grade as being
crystal ballish......they can see all
the way to 2012 ?, in products that are
all geared to telecom. to go out that
far,someone has to "know", that some
thing not so good, is in rimms' future,
like the telecom sector is so played out
, that rimm doesnt have any place left
to go till 2012.how can they be so
specific in the call.broader market
action= pin action, because the tide has
risen today, is all. rimm, do they have
any new products in the pipeline,
etc.etc. prolly not. maybe their
infringement suit could hurt so bad,
they could go under.no specifics from gs
as to why, and so far out?
