Agreed. Intuitive Surgical doesn't interest me for investing in. I put some serious money in Brazil last March...4 stocks plus EWZ....all are great so far. Also China, but I just feel extra bullish on Brazil. Nothing in India....never have been able to get excited about India but probably should take another look. One Russian stock that has wedgie stops under it...MTL. When the market was puking back in March, I scaled into a bunch of cheap, under $10 a share stocks, several of the banks, etc. Most have more than doubled. Also 3 retailers. This has been a truly stunning rally, and I wish I had margined up or bought lots of options along with my bets. :( Now I can't decide what to do. The easy money has been made, and it's still too soon I think to know for certain if this is a bear market rally or the start of something big. At least I have no certainty. My favorite stock I bought was Harry Winston Diamond, HWD, under $3. It's an awfully speculative stock, but if the company continues to get its act together, my plan is to divide the shares up and give them to my kids at Christmas. I'm trying to think of a cute way where they'll think they're getting a piece of jewelry instead.
