Claps, I just started Roger new book last night. I really like that guy, I have for a long time.
I started buying the Templeton Dragon fund, India Fund, and Central European fund, about a year ago....I'm approaching them as long holds.
I really like the Exchange Traded Funds. Easy to use, and they allow you to concentrate on sectors of the economy, but avoid specific company exposure.
In energy, I plan to use some of these...IXC, OSX, XLE, IYE, or XEG. They have all had a heck of run lately, so I won't jump headlong into any of them, but energy seems like a necessary place to be going forward.
I am about to start looking for some interesting Canadian based ETF's..
I'll let you know what I find in a other commodity based funds..
On the flip side of that coin, on NPR this morning, there was a story about how the increased demand for soy beans is speeding up the destruction of the rain forest....
