    Opportunity in Emerging Markets Amidst This Panic [view article]
    This commentary is pure speculation. Why not just come out and say "I see the bottom" like the countless other quacks writing to write.

    No way Jose' would I recommend anyone jumping into international until domestic confidence is restored OR more evidence of decoupling of the US with the rest of the world is seen (over time).

    For disclosure I love emerging markets, they have been good to me.     Reply

    Opportunity in Emerging Markets Amidst This Panic [view article]
    Frear is a natural reaction, and it has a positive intention; to protect yourself from danger. It originated thousands of years ago when man saw others of his species running in panic. He didn't stand around waiting to see if it really was a saber-tooth tiger. He just ran with the herd that had alerted him to potential danger as he had been trained to do.

    On the other hand, when man is hunting for game he applies patience, cunning, stealth and a small group with killing tools. He knows better than to charge in the direction of his prey. As he becomes better equipped to kill, many gain complacency and the highly skilled begin to supply others with meat as they become dependent on his hand-outs.

    But those who became complacent and dependent lacked survival skills. They were out of shape and couldn't escape.

    Sound familiar? It should, because we are seeing it play out today in our citizens who are sitting on their portfolios and 401-k's like deer in the headlights. "It'll come back" is the refrain. Don't panic. Diversify. etc.

    By the time this decline accelerates down past the 8500 level, true panic and the herding instinct will set in. But it will be too late for many. They left too much of the decision making up to others and had let any skill in it that they should have acquired before investing wither away. All they have left now is either indecision or panic.     Reply

    The problem is - neither VWO nor EEM will rise again till US investors start regaining their optimism, no matter how well the actual emerging market countries are doing macroeconomically (with regards to growth or balance of payments). So in the meantime, it's a real leap of faith - neither VWO nor EEM really pays out sufficient dividends to bolster fragile faith with cold hard cash. Reply

    Ukraine: Overlooked, Yet a Promising Emerging Market [view article]
    Ukraine is the everyday reality for me as I work for a Ukrainian investment bank in Kiev. There is a lot of truth – about the positives as well as the negatives – both in the article and the comments. However, now that the Ukrainian stock market has fallen around 70% from its all-time high in January, there are a lot of bargains. Some good companies are even selling below their book value.

    Jumping in for short-term gains is dangerous, but investing for mid- and long-term makes a lot of sense. Drop me a line at matsak art-capital.com.ua if you want to learn more about Ukraine.     Reply

    "The famous professors at Yale have proven that asset allocation accounts for 90% of a portfolio’s return "...

    I think that they suggested that it AA accounts for 90% of a potfolio's return VARIATION.     Reply

    Short, hedged, or out are good options if you are a TRADER. If you are a long term investor who is dollar cost averaging, then this market turmoil is nothing but a series of buying opportunities. These portfolios are for the long haul.

    Wonder why none of these guys would consider any of the inverse funds, be they stock, bond, currency, commodity, etc.? When you are in a Bear market, you should be either short, hedged, or out. I assume most would agree that we are in a Bear market. Could it be over? Yes. Could it get better? Yes. Could it get worse? Yes. Could it get much much worse? Of Course. Reply

    Suggestion regarding your book - when I saw your site, I saw the picture of your book at the top left. I clicked on it thinking it would take me to a link about the book - wrong - so I decided it wasn't a book. Only much later did I see a link for your book. People expect to be able to click on a picture of a book and get to the book. Let it work for you! Reply

    I'm also wondering the same thing. What is the best approach to switching from a B&H method to a timing method?     Reply
