Michael Gayed has some very interesting comments concerning emerging markets. While he takes around the issue in this piece, his point it that emerging markets are wildly under valued compared to the potential over vaulation of the US Markets.
Let's connect the dots.
Gold rallies out of ultra lows for mining stocks since December.
Crude OIl tops $100, Natural Gas hits five bucks.
US Stocks take on Everyready Bunny status and keep on going.
But emerging markets are trashed. Brazil bonds yielding 10%.
We will take a longer look this weekend. But it could be that with commodity prices rising and emerging markets beat down, the emerging markets no one wants to buy now might just surprise the rest of the year.

More to follow this weekend....Thanks for reading TMP.
