I just sold my Indian fund which I'd held for about 10 years, at one stage it had halved, but about 250-300% gain when I flogged it. They are cranking up interest rates in India at the moment to try and cool things down a bit, I reckon a good chance it'll have a big correction but what do I know. I've dabbled in lots of dodgy markets usually through invetsment trusts, I think I've done OK all in all but a few disasters along the way. I don't think now is a good time for throwing new money into emerging markets but !?!?!?!

Closer to home..
I have been investing here for about 7 years. With CT at 12% and stacks of inward investment this one has gone like a bomb. Put me 2 years ahead of schedule on my retirement plans.

so what funds in china should i be looking atOriginally posted by Bright Sparkwhere I am contracting now (top 10 investment bank)
Russia seems to be where most
of the developers are based, They tried india first but couldn't
get the right quality of developers so pulled back and have gone
into russia now.
Also it seems to be nearer, less time zone difference and they bring
over large amounts of vodka and caviar, when visiting
.
