Big money engaged in the carry trade is borrow US dollars at low rates and investing in Oz bonds, commodities and emerging markets. These investments will outperform until there is a 10% or so correction (in which case you'll get panic selling to cover positions) or an increase in US interest rates.
My guess is we're safe 'till March, at least. Put in a sell on stop.

The emerging markets have not been hit as hard by the global economic meltdown as more advanced economies like the U.S. and Europe. First of all, these markets didn't have as much to lose any ways. Also, because emerging economies are still in the primitive stages, they were not exposed to all of those complex securites, loans, and financial instruments. Economists posit that these emerging markets will "lead the way" out of the global recession, and this ETF allows investors exposure to them without having to perform cumbersome research. Great way to diversify your portfolio, and also to provide a hedge against losses when the "big boys" screw up!

This is a well diversified ETF that covers emerging markets.
After the meltdown in the late 90's, many of the emerging market countries learned a valuable lesson in regards to their overexposure to risk. This time around, they have faired much better by being more conservative in their approach to growth and debt
They have also seen how greater transparency is important in giving confidence to foreign investors. Those countries that want to participate in the world economy have realized that playing by the rules has great benefits.

Let's face it, emerging markets have a lot more room to grow than the US ever will again. Even if 50% of share appreciation is due to general economic growth (I've read that the % is a lot higher), this is a long term winner.
Recs
Lots of potential for growth once the economy recovers.
Recs
Just think the emerging markets are going to still emerge not submerge.

Gotta put your money somewhere risky but great play

Fed Reserve knows nothing. Invest overseas.

Emerging markets will be hardest hit by the global depression.
Recs
This emerging market ETF will have strong long term growth. Investors are becoming more comfortable with putting their money into this area, and they should see solid returns.
Recs
Less sophisticated economies, with political issues. And they rely on trade with the 1st world. Hard to believe, but there is still more room to the downside.
