No place for the impatient investor
Article Abstract:
Emerging markets represent a long-term investment opportunity and there are risks involved. High literacy levels, lower wages, and more space can allow emerging economies to grow rapidly. Sometimes growth rates cannot be sustained and short-term investors encounter problems. Investment in these markets may be suitable when considering investment for children, but nervous investors should avoid emerging markets due to the risk levels.
