How to profit off N Korea hack and Cuban relations

Stock up on 1950's era US automobile replacement parts.....

Well I would start with the etf named CUBA.

Might want to check what that ETF actually holds

Read your link and still do not know what it holds. That was a bash on CEF's by an ETF's trade rag. I would not necessarily recomend CUBA but it is the only exposure to that market I am aware of. And that is what the OP asked for, not links to a trade rag.

Seems to me like the CUBA ETf is allocated with companies that may benefit from free trade with Cuba. Nothing directly related to Cuba.

I think it says 50% of that fund's holdings are Carnival (the cruiseline) and Chiquita (the banana).

not correct, largest holdings

Copa Holdings SA A 8.47%
MasTec, Inc. $6.29%
Coca-Cola Femsa SAB ADR $6.04%
Royal Caribbean Cruises, Ltd. $5.35%
Seaboard Corporation $1.69M 5.18%
Lennar Corporation $1.57M 4.81%
Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings Ltd 4.02%
Banco Latinoamericano de Exportaciones 3.97%
Carnival Corporation 3.81%
Consolidated Water Company, Ltd. 3.72%
America Movil SAB de CV ADR L 3.45%

But it is Caribbean basin focused, not Cuba

"To achieve long-term capital appreciation, investing primarily in equity and equity-linked securities in the Caribbean Basin countries, which consist of Cuba, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Barbados, Aruba, Haiti, the Netherlands Antilles, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, Belize, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia and Venezuela. The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in a broad range of securities of issuers including U.S. based companies, whose securities are traded principally on a stock exchange in a Caribbean Basin Country; or have at least 50% of the value of their assets in a Caribbean Basin Country; or that derive at least 50% of their total revenue from operations in a Caribbean Basin Country"

It is now trading at a large premium to net asset value and had traded at a large discount most of the year. 7% premium now, 11% discount last 52 weeks

while it's not a pure cuba play, it's holdings would benefit as Cuba is set from from imperialist American shackles

Viva La Revolucion !
