well, at least that's the plan. I would also like to supplement it with individual stocks once things settle down a bit. The good (or bad) news is that I really don't have that much money to lose at the moment, so honestly, I'm fine. While watching a 1/3rd of my value dissapear this last little while was not fun, it's not like I lost a house-worth of money, unlike people with more years to their name surely did.

You mentioned before that you would recommend emerging markets and technology. Anything specific you've had in mind? Would you stick to BRIC?
Any thoughts on Warren Buffet's purchase of a stake in an electric-car battery manufacturer (BYD, ticker symbol 1122 on HK) in China?
