International ETFs and short selling

Question: Your article comparing ETF/LIC for the Aussie market was very informative. I would like to gain exposure to European and US markets through an ETF as opposed to direct share holding.

Answer (By Paul Rickard): We do have a few articles on overseas exposure which you can access here [1], here [2], and here [3]!

Please let me know if you have any further questions at all.

Question 2: Where do I find a list of the companies being short sold and the extent of short selling in them?

Answer 2 (By Paul Rickard): ASIC publishes short positions on their site, and you can download an excel file with all the information – updated daily – at the following link [4].

We also provide a table of stocks shorted in our Switzer on Saturday newsletter. This table also shows how their positions have changed compared to the week before.

You can view an example of this table on the latest Switzer on Saturday at this link. [5]
