iShares MSCI Malaysia Index Fund (EWM) — This ETF generally follows the price and yield performance of publicly traded securities in the Malaysian market.

EWM fell from more than $13 in January 2008 to almost $6 in October 2008. From October until early April, EWM consolidated in a trading rectangle (box) that broke out on the upside at around $7.50.

On June 4, at $8.78, I said, “Profit-taking could result in an opportunity to buy this emerging markets ETF below $8.50, but long-term buyers may want to take a partial position now and add to it on a correction.” 

On July 19, I said, “EWM has traded under $8.50 twice since June 4, and yesterday it broke above $9 on a high-volume breakaway gap. Buy at market with a target of $11 or more.”

And, on Aug. 10, “Note the high upside volume last week, showing new buyers.” 

EWM pulled back from its July high and now appears to have gapped up, again on high volume, with a new buy signal from Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD). 

EWM currently pays a dividend of 28 cents per share (2.77% yield) and has a net asset value (NAV) of $10.03 as of Sept. 9, according to ETFConnect. 

Our upside trading target is now $11.50 to $12 with higher prices ahead for long-term buyers.
