Claymore China Real Estate ETF (TAO)

One wonderful aspect of ETFs is that they can give investors exposure to sectors that previously would have been close to impossible to attain. This ETF is a perfect example of this. According to the issuers information page, this ETF is designed to:

...replicate, before expenses, the performance of the AlphaShares China Real Estate Index. The Index is designed to measure and monitor the performance of the investable universe of publicly-traded companies and REITs deriving a majority of their revenues from real estate development, management and/or ownership of property in China...

Below is a daily chart of the ETF, ticker symbol TAO:

Personally, I find this ETFs recent victory over its 200dma favourable. I will not be adding this ETF to my portfolio, however, since I am already long too much stuff as it is (AMZN, HANS, OCN, FXA, UGA, TIP).

Although the aforementioned securities are all very diverse, they could all suffer if there was a sharp correction, in which everything is in the red. At all times, I prefer to have a mixture of long and short positions.
