On 11/22 when Asian stocks were mentioned, I went over to Fidelity and bought into 4 funds in my Roth account(no sales charge for retirement accounts). Average increase this month is 4%. (Would be less of course with sales charge.)This included a dividend for each of them. Besides Sales charge of 3 % front end, there is also a charge for closing before 180 days.

Funds are FHKCX ( Fid Hong KOng & China) FJPNX,(Fidelity Japan) FJSCX ,FPBFX (Pacific Rim). Japan Small companies, which had the greatest returns until last month, is the only one that is slightly down. Hong Kong seems the best..up 8%. Pacific Rim is interesting.
Also have T.Rowe Price International which has jumped considerably during the last 2 months.
I've noticed that Fidelity Canada FICDX has consistently been going up . Could this simply be a reflection of U.S. boom, or do these foreign funds actually move independently of our markets? Seems to me that when we go down, most of them go down too.

How can you tell what current holdings are..since info given is not current and only partial? Generally, can one call up the fund and get further info from anyone other than what is normally available? Any other sources for info besides prospectus and Morningstar?
