For the past few years, there's been extremely high growth and with the globalization of the economy, I don't see that slowing down any time soon. As for actual money, unfortunately most of my own money available for spending is being put into a Roth 401(k) right now, with matching from my employer. However, as soon as that is at a level I'm comfortable with, this virtual exercise could turn into the real thing. @Devin- I’m a big fan of emerging markets as well.
