I was in Singapore also. What a place. I'm sorry not to have visited the western end of the Island. I only had the chance to tour some investment firms, all in the high rises near Orchard Road.
Ignoring the economy, i was taken by the a) trees, b) the ubiquity of English and c) the heat. It was for me, like Miami in the summer, albeit cleaner and with more English speakers :)
shots follow this

Speaking of Emerging Markets; i was just in Delhi.
Looked at Real estate in the nearby town of Gurgaon. Wow.
While the pace and scope is amazing, i just happened to find a 10 year old copy of National Geographic. It could have been written yesterday. It noted nearly everything I might note today (poverty amidst new development, new high rises, the middle class, etc)
Some shots from my visit

Its top ten holdings include stakes in Hyundai Development, Unibanco, Banco bradesco, PetroChina, China Petroleum & Chemical, Lukoil, Petroleo Brasilerio, SK Corp, Akbank TAS and Gedeon Richter.

Not sure if I made this fully clear. I’m a small investor, interested in smart, sophisticated investing. So I’m not going to bother with posting anything about “start your own business”, or “make money from installing pay phones”, etc. But I do want to look at how to profit from the smarts of better investors than myself. My choices I think are Individual stocksETFSMutual funds (especially indexed)and then Hedge or other private investing vehicles Do you have any ideas?
