No, I guess, just look for bargains worldwide... And for shorts as well. When both currencies and stocks are falling imagine how much you can get. And vise versa. I'm looking at SEA, but not investing yet. Japan as well (looking, not investing) - currencies still continue to slide. Russia is a bargain, IMO. Market cap $50 Bln or so, 20 Bln foreign investments. GDP is 1/2 of 1989 levels, but stopped sliding. You can buy 1 Russian for $300 bucks, not counting the vast natural reserves. Market cap is 10% of GRP. RNE was almost at 1996 bargain levels (when M.Cap was 4% of GDP). Besides, if the FED decides to save the stocks and print $$$, you are hedged... (Not in Russia, though). Very bad feeling about US bull, but it's not broken yet. DOW is above 7,800, which was my warning level. -Vi
