GRE Greece ETF Update and Charting the PIIGS Main Equity Indices [UPDATE]

The GRE Greece ETF is now trading at below 1.00€ (low of 0.985€) meaning that from the peak of about 14.00€, the drop has been more than 90%. One could wonder how much lower it can go.

Here's the details about the ETF, as captured from the French prospectus of the fund (click for larger image):

Conclusion: there's still room for further drop, as the banking sector still represents 33% of the index. 

[Update: initiated a small position on the ETF, bought at 0.985€ per share]

My friend SS has been kind enough to provide me on demand many charts and market data, and here's what he sent me on request yesternight: the charts of the main index of each of the PIIGS countries:


Greece: Top at 5346, currently trading at 553. This is a drop of 90%from peak. And it's a stock index of the 20 largest Greek capitalizations. 



Portugal: Top at 13729, currently trading at 4870. This is a drop of 65%. Same comment, this is the an index made of the largest companies in Portugal and my guess is that we're far from the bottom.


Ireland: Top at 10,000 bottom at 2,000 (drop of 80%) currently trading at 3,000. This is still a drop of 70% and my guess is that we're far from the bottom. 



Spain: Top at 16,000 currently trading at 6,500. This is a drop of 65%. My guess is that we're far from the bottom


Italy: Top of 44,000 currently trading at 13,000. This is a drop of 70%. And my guess is that we're far from the bottom
