MSCI Frontier Markets Index Leaves Emerging Markets In the Dust

I just thought I would add that I bought into the TRAMX fund at $10.40 last Aug or Sept and have realized a 34.62% return as of today. I wish I would have invested a bigger chunk back then but it was considered highly risky and not something that should be taken seriously. I've also just been to Iraq for a military tour and wonder what the funds really help build or create over there. Isn't Haliburton a Middle East fund now? Twisted!
The reality though is we are a big World and most everyone is striving to see a brighter future. TRAMX can only grow as oil profits soar and funds flow in the Middle East. Africa though is lost. It's such a mess and I'm glad it represents such a small part of this fund. History will, hopefully, prove me wrong but I don't see any of central Africa contributing to the success of my retirement account, period.
