iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index Fund (EEM) -- The exchange-traded fund (ETF), which is designed to measure equity market performance in the global emerging markets, contains a number of the technical characteristics that indicate that this investment will probably be successful.

Note the major breakout from the triple-top, which became a bullish cup-and-handle, the gold cross, a buy signal from our internal indicator, the Collins-Bollinger Reversal (CBR), and Moving Average Convergence/Divergence (MACD) turning and near to a buy signal.

The target is close to its 2008 high of $50.
