CROSS-LISTED SECURITIES

/2 Comments/in /by

Cross listing of shares is when a firm lists its equity shares on one or more foreign stock exchange in addition to its domestic exchange.

Cross-listing is especially common for companies that started out in a small market but grew into a larger market.

REVIEW

Over the past few weeks I reviewed the UK FTSE 100 index. I believe it is one of the most important long-term opportunity for global equity investors. There are couple of technical developments that I really like about the UK FTSE 100 index chart.

Stocks or indices that clear long-term resistances and reach all-time highs enter "uncharted territory". Uncharted territory is the path of least resistance. In other words there is no previous price level that the index would find resistance.

REVIEW

Global Equity Markets continue to remain in a steady uptrend with the iShares MSCI All Country World Index ETF trending higher in a year-long trend channel. The ETF is also holding above the steep 19 month-long trend line. At this point, there is no clear chart pattern that would suggest a top reversal. Uptrend is intact with the minor support standing at 69.4 levels.

REVIEW

The XAU is a capitalization-weighted index of thirty precious metal mining companies that has been traded on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange since 1983. As its name suggests it includes both gold and silver mining companies. In order to track gold and silver mining companies performance in an index there are several options available for investors, but the two most watched indices are: the NYSE Arca Gold BUGS (Basket of Unhedged Gold Stocks) Index (called the HUI Index) and Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index (called the XAU Index). Below charts feature the Philadelphia Gold and Silver Index and the NYSE Arca Gold BUGS Index.
