    Very nice article, The 40% decline I assume is from present levels and is based on The SPX.

    Translated, its the mid seventies revisited.

    Update: We just added the new Northern Trust Israel ETF to the list, the NETS TA-25 Index Fund (TAV). Heather Bell writes about this ETF:

    "TAV, however, is not the first of its kind. The iShares complex already offers the competing iShares MSCI Israel Capped Investable Market Index Fund (NYSE Arca: EIS), which charges 0.68%. In a departure for the NETS family, TAV is actually more expensive than its corresponding iShares ETF: It charges 0.70%. EIS was only launched in late March, so it hasn't had time to gain much of a foothold - Northern Trust may be looking to compete with it more on the basis of the underlying index than on price."

    International ETF Update: Single-Country ETFs, Investing in Mexico [view article]
    Currently Mexico is an exporter of oil to the United States. Its biggest oil field, Cantarell (sp), is depleting. Most of the oil revenue disappears into the government bureaucracy. So domestically and globally, Mexico is on a cliff, unless many of its other natural resources (precious and base metals) can take up the slack. But it still needs oil. Reply

    I lived in Mexico until recently and made good money investing in their economy but I got out last year. The plusses are a hard working friendly populace, a generally nice climate and a relatively friendly business climate. The negatives are systemic corruption and significant social turmoil and danger especially in border towns, a future of declining federal revenues with plunging export earnings from oil and nothing I can see in the wings to make up that lost revenue, an almost certain decline in tourism from high petroleum costs and a good chance of regional recession, over population and increasing food costs, class inequality and a tendency to resort to violence against authority, and declining revenue from El Norte from the illegals who are being squeezed out of the US job market. On almost all points, the S American countries, most notably Brazil look like a better investment bet IMO. Reply

    Singapore. Great place with great future. Extraordinarily diverse. Very high tech, including bio. A Western-friendly center of Asian business. Inflation is 1%. The current no-brainer in foreign markets. See EWS

    Malaysia. High Tech. Labor going to be less than China. Politically and socially very secure for foreign investment. Oil and food independent. 3% inflation. Similar future to Brazil, but better value right now. See EWM

    YTD is rather short period. For example Slovenia and China have rallied last year, and some correction is in line with expectation. It would be interested to have 3 year comparisement. Reply

    Thanks.

    Visually this is the equivalent of being smacked in the face. There is a new world out there a la Columbus when he found America. The rewards for the Intrepid Investor are in the Frontier markets.
