An Africa-Focused Mutual Fund Outperforming Its ETF Peers

Ryan Hoover submits:

Few mutual funds consistently beat the market because their fees tend to counteract any expertise that their managers bring to the table. But if consistent outperformance through active management is possible, it?s most likely to be possible in Africa.

Why? Because the continent is arguably home to the world?s most inefficient stock markets. As a whole, they tend to be illiquid, under-researched, and slow to react to events. That?s fertile ground for a skilled fund manager who can identify mispricings and then patiently wait for the market to catch up.

After launching one of North America?s first Africa-focused mutual funds, Larry Seruma and his team at Nile Capital Management are poised to exploit this opportunity.

Originally from Uganda and a former principal at Barclays Global Investors, Seruma has guided the Nile Pan Africa Fund [NAFAX] to a 13.9% annualized return since its inception at the end of April 2010. Over

Viral Video: "The Three Musketeers" -- Now in 3-D (Sigh)

Former Top Editor Makes Another Talent Raid on AOL's Engadget for New Competing Gadget Site

I love the smell of blog wars in the morning! Acting as Facebook often does to Google, a new site started by former Engadget editor Josh Topolsky just hired away yet another passel of tech journalists from the giant gadgets news and reviews organization. It is Topolsky's second major talent raid since he left his editor-in-chief job there in March, for a new gadget property aimed at unseating Engadget.

Catalysts That Should Drive These 3 Large Caps Higher

Bret Jensen submits:

Thursday proved to be a good day for my portfolio as three of my core holdings (JP Morgan, Conoco Phillips and Google) reported news that should drive the stocks higher in the weeks ahead.

JP Morgan (JPM) reported much better than expected quarterly earnings. The company reported earnings of $1.27 a share, much higher than consensus both on earnings and revenues per share. The better-than-expected performance was driven by investment banking, where JP Morgan has the highest global investment fees of any bank year to day. A decrease in charge-offs and an uptick in commercial lending also supported a robust report. JP Morgan now sells for around 8 times this year?s projected earnings (which will be revised up based on this latest earnings report). JP Morgan is now even more undervalued than it was when I first wrote about it in May and added it to my portfolio. I would
