Emerging Markets: The best is yet to come

Baltimore – (TFN): Since 2002, foreign stocks have trounced U.S. stocks. Not this year. The European markets have done just as badly as the U.S. markets. Many of the emerging markets - India and China, for example - have done a lot worse.

So, who to believe? Here’s my take: Many of these countries have economies that are still expected to grow two or three times faster (or more) than that of the U.S. or Europe. And companies in these countries are expected to grow earnings much faster than American or European companies. At the same time, their economic and banking systems are becoming more open and transparent and increasingly subject to the rule of law.

Market growth is never smooth. There are bound to be breaks in the climb. We’re in one of those breaks now. It shouldn’t last. The emerging markets still have a greater upside than those in developed countries. Read on to learn the safest way to profit from the emerging markets.
