India Projected to Be the Fastest Growing Economy in 2010

I totally agree with Alan. The picks are not correct.
I would suggest investing through
-banks such as HDFC,ICICI
-Telcom companies such as Bharti Airtel Ltd
-SLT, RDY,etc.

Infact if you wan to invest using ETF then the best bet is IIF and not PIN.

Johnson & Johnson: Low Risk, High Value

I agree with you that JNJ is one of the best dividend value stock around. You can add few more such as MMM.

But to hedge any downside to this pick I strongly suggest going for ETF - PPH (HOLDRS pharmacy play). It has more than 70% in top 5 stocks and they togther right now yield 4.5%. PPH is right now trading for 56+/- and its fair value estimate stands at 81$.

The top 4 (dont remember 5th one) by %age of portfolio -
JNJ - 25%
PFE - 14%
ABT - 13%
MRK - 10%

All of the above are companies with solid fundamentals.
