| That does seem strange though with INTL because according to a 1-day
chart for todays activity, it started flat at 15 and didnt go to 15 1/4
until almost 10:50am. Then around 11:15am it hit 15 3/8 (High) and dropped
to 14 5/8 around 11:45am. From there on it just puttered around hitting
15 1/4 again a second time at around 2:30. This gathered from yahoo and
aproximations of times. If they charged you 15.5, I would tell them to
stick it. |

I think the general idea of emerging markets (or whatever you want to call em)
is a good one. Closed end funds are a reasonable idea, especially if theres one
in a country or area you like selling at a discount greater than its historical
discount. I like the idea of picking country funds, and becoming informed about
particular economies.. but Ive had a fair amount of Intl. Econ. to help make
sense of things. Id say be careful about Argentina at the moment... there appears
to be serious friction between the finance minister Cavallo and the president, and
strong adherence to Cavallos policies would seem necessary to keep the Argentine
economy doing OK... if theres enough friction and Cavallo is sacked (or leaves
because he doesnt like the way policy is headed), things could get bad for foreign
investors (i.e. devaluation from the current 1:1 ratio being maintained with the dollar). |

| Recent correction in Asian markets was healthy, expect sustained
rebound. Latin America off to a good start this year; Mexican bolsa
at all-time high. Opportunities in India look promising.
