Yes it's true that "what goes down must come up", but it's also equally true that "what goes up must come down" as well.....and we are definitely on the way down brother. My stock market portfolio has been walloped bad and is whimpering pretty badly right now? Based on your reported Financial Net Worth statements you've been releasing, it looks like you've been hit badly too... 462660 2008-01-01T21:37:14-08:00 Raymond I find much of the world markets are intertwined and interdependent so I do track them all. But you're right, I don't use the S&P500 as my predictor for my emerging funds. But frankly, I don't think there really are any true accurate predictors of market direction. I tend to look at macro-economic growth trends at large and the health of my target economies. 462650 2008-01-01T20:42:15-08:00 norak Most of your money seems to be in emerging markets, so you probably shouldn't use the S&P500 as a predictor of what will happen to emerging markets in the future.
