...stock of companies that do business in Iran, Libya, Syria, Sudan and North Korea. Its investment choices have been independently certified by the Conflict Securities Advisory Group, a private research provider that maintains a list of some 485 largely foreign-owned companies that includes South Korea's Hyundai, the French oil producer Total and France's BNP bank, among others...

Chinese carmakers Geely and Chery both hope to storm the low end of the U.S. market. But China's Nanjing Automobile Group wants to raise the bar by selling roadsters in the U.S. from 2008 under the famous MG marque. Nanjing, which bought MG Rover last year, hopes to build the $25,000 MG TF coupes in Oklahoma at the first Chinese auto factory on American soil-a long way from...
