William and Doug: For what it's worth...

I began equities investing in emerging / re-emerging markets and funds in 1989. My priorities have fallen into the following pattern:

1) have the macro-economic information
2) know the political climate; find who really runs the country
3) read as much analysis as...read as much as possible, period.
4) find the strongest and/or growth sector(s) of the economy
5) choose the investment
6) review available company data
7) test against probable and possible external influences
8) review history and geography
9) re-evaluate

The arrangement may appear questionable at one or two points, but that's how my logic follows. There is some subordinate testing involved, but the list is pretty much it.

For the numerologists that may be looking in: I thought about it a moment, but there just aren't 10.

The learning curve was rather steep when I first began. It's easier now that a background is developed, yet remains somewhat time consuming to maintain current knowledge. It has, however, rarely seemed like work.

(Note that I didn't say "never seemed like work.")


This reminds me of something. I took an Intro to Geography class to fill my schedule my senior year in college. Boy, did I run into a buzz saw!
