FUND SUMMARY  
The investment seeks investment results that correspond generally to the price and yield performance of the MSCI Emerging Markets index. The fund generally invests at least 90% of assets in the securities of its underlying index or in ADRs and GDRs representing such securities. The index was developed by MSCI as an equity benchmark for international stock performance. It is nondiversified.

Another option available to investors is ETFs that track foreign markets. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets (NYSE:EEM) is a nice option in that it tracks publicly traded companies in emerging markets. A current holdings list shows stocks trading in several markets including China and Brazil. This offers investors even more diversification as it shields investors from a falling dollar or continued weakness in the U.S. markets. EEM is showing a similar base to SMH in that it has formed a base over several months and has recently broken above it.
Ascending Triangle (Continuation) Pattern.


The ascending triangle is a bullish formation that usually forms during an uptrend as a continuation pattern. "There are instances when ascending triangles form as reversal patterns at the end of a downtrend, but they are typically continuation patterns". Regardless of where they form, ascending triangles are bullish patterns that indicate accumulation.
