Until this morning, I did not even know Market Vectors Egypt (EGPT) existed. Based on the average volume of sub 50,000 shares a day and less than $12M in assets, I was not the only one.
But for those with cast iron stomachs and 5 year time horizons I would assume barring a fireball in Egypt, a position today might offer some nice upside a few years down the road.
The Egypt Index ETF seeks to replicate as closely as possible, before fees and expenses, the price and yield performance of the Market Vectors Egypt Index. The Market Vectors Egypt Index is a rules-based, modified capitalization-weighted, float-adjusted index intended to give investors exposure to Egypt.
