Hello everyone,
I am a new one, just been registred and I am wondering if enybody
trades on emerging markets ? I found recently that trading on emerging markets gives more opportunities, that why I moved particulary to Russian and Kasakstan markets,
there are many oil and electricity companies undervalued comparing to USA and EU.
Of course, it risky, but no more that any other trading. Also, China, Brazil, India are markets with many sweet companies just we need to do research.
Any opinions are welcome

If you take into account that you are investing in foreign currency, that the depositary is a local bank and that liquidity could disappear suddenly, together with the fact that these companies God knows how they are audited, I think you are taking a little bit more risk than investing in ABS

Thanks Gasce and GJ for responces,
I do not invest in foreign currency, also do not speculaite,
I am talking about stocks and if I do research I can see some companies
have P/E=less 4-5, P/S=less 1.0 value/cap=less 1.0 even some companies
pay high dividends and more important those companies are oil and energy ones.
I would be happy to talk with someone who devoited to emerging markets
to share experience and some ideas.

Yours
Ken2win

My personal view is that opportunities are indeed great when investing in emerging markets, but the main problem for the retail trader is lack of quality, timely information and / or analytics. This, and higher transaction costs can often nullify the advantages to be gained (before you even start talking about the greater risk that always accompanies greater reward).

Not for amateurs imho

Surely the stocks that you are trading are in a foreign currency and then you are taking on currency risk..
 
traders always look for the hard way:

if its shares you are interested in do some research on those people running the funds in the areas you are interested in. THEY ARE THE PORFESSIONALS. They live and breathe it. Take advantage of thier knowledge and take the 2% per annum fee on the chin.

Hi fiftyfifty,
at the present as dollar is weak against to others currency, there is no more risk investing in companies with the srtongiest currency than in dollar ones

Ok, if you invest in a different currency then you have currency risk unless you hedge this. I'm not really getting what you are saying. You're in Dublin so if you invest in anything but euro stocks then you will have risk associated with currency fluctations.

If you are talking about investing in dollars as it is currently weaker against other currencies then if it continues to weaken you are losing on your currency exposure before you take any underlying stock movements into account.

Hi fiftyfifty,
I do not invest in currency, I do invest in emerging stock of companies which countries
have strong currency against dollar at the moment, also there are more undervalued
companies you can find, sorry for not given understandable mining
 
Ok, so if you are investing in an emerging market stock which is quoted in the national currency (i.e. taking your domestic currency, changing it to foreign currency to buy stock in that currency) you somehow don't have currency risk. Can you see what I'm getting at? Unless you are somehow investing in these markets in your own currency then there will be currency risk.

As to currencies being "strong" against the dollar, this is all relative and dependent on where the dollar goes next as to it's accuracy.
