This is a useful graphic from the WSJ.

The other day when I said if you are going manage your own money you should spend some money...WSJ and Barron's is a biggie to get.

EUROX and VEEEX. I've read

I have not studied any OEFs in the space.

I mentioned the other day that one broad-based emerging market ETF and one Brazilian stock is the majority of my EM exposure. I have a couple of things here and there for different people but I am generally equalweight for the time being.

Generally the broad based should be interchangeable in that they seem to take turns leading. WRT CEE and GUR I have a Russian stock for a couple of people but that region might be tough to own depending on your willingness to absorb volatility.

I would add The Economist as a must read as well. It offers a terrific window into the global market place for currency, GDP, stock markets and items of political import.

Mexico leads the list of exports due to the number if illegal aliens they export to the U.S.

I enjoy relaxing at times reading dated issues of respected financial media. I am amused at how often leading experts are dead wrong about events that unfolded quite differently from their can't miss predictions.

It is similar to reading the Daily Kos looking for credible facts.

A diversified portfolio trumps all pronouncements of brilliance from the Gods of Investing.
