Just wondering when to jump into Russia stocks as oil prices are killing them. Also other energy companies.
I hear the media commentary noise that says these are the "growth areas of the future" but I cannot get over the endemic corruption in China,Russia and India.
Nor can I shake of the feeling that I believe there is no way that the Reds are running their companies to enrich Western shareholders.
And a quick look at my portfolio tracker reinforces that view again. I hold the BRIC ETF and it's still down 25% from the point I bought back in 2010.Comment

But you would only have one set of dealing fees. When you exit your positions you've obviously gonna take a hit with multiple shares to sell.
Of course you could buy the European or North American equivalent and get a bit of diversification going.Comment

Allan Roth: I can define investing in eight words. Minimize expenses and emotions. Maximize diversification and discipline. Eight words. Simple, but not easy.

Consider Vanguard lifestrategy fund or VWRL all-world ETF (I use due to HL charges on funds)
My target allocations are as follows:
US+Canada 15%
Eur 12%
AsiaPac 10%
Japan 3%
UK 49%
REIT 3%
Emerging 8%
Mostly via very diversified low-cost index etf's in SIPP and ISA's. I don't think you should ignore the ROW but by all means bias towards UK due to currency of your expenses.
I do have a lot of UK shares but mostly cos I enjoy it, when I do a close comparison I am slightly behind the uk all-share overall, so not worth it from a return POV !
Good luck all...Comment
