We are in a global economy and Emerging Growth Markets like China,India,Russia,Brazil,Mexico and South Korea are great places to invest for 5 -10 years.
India and China are my favorite,but India, with over 1 billion population, a Democracy with a Free Market system, is exploding and the next 10 years will be a dominate player on the global scene..
A holding in one of the Emerging Growth Market sectors is a positive long-term position to be in..
My trading strategy in the Penny Arcade is simple and works like a Monopoly game where one can build their portfolio from using Profits, and augmenting these returns into investment grade securities and have fun being in control of your own game board, all the while just building wealth..
