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). |

| Price is a medium risk fund and has shown good returns as you have noted,
but have you looked at their Intl Discovery fund? It has not performed as
well as the Intl Stock but may be a diamond. Note there is a redemption
fee. I havent called but it is probably a 1 year deal like their small
cap value is. |
| Large cap cyclicals look promising.
Intl emerging markets should have good returns.
Junk Bond funds may do well.
