I'm not sure that that is predictable. However, it is very likely that when the recovery starts, one of the market leaders in terms of intensity (not stimulates the recovery) will be emerging markets. Emerging markets tend to go down more than the rest of the market (as seen with EMs down much more than North America and Europe, for example) and they'll likely go up more than the rest of the markets do when they recovery starts. When to get in? I'd probably DCA in over a period of no more than six months, preferably about four months. Four months is actually what I'm doing, not in emerging markets but across the investment spectrum.
