Emini, will get the book and try and understand it. well, for now getting hands dirty and losing monies in the process has definitely created immense trading "values" for me, that is , personally speaking. I agree with you in that economy is preety much global. The world is flat. Emerging markets globally is a good niche to get into. But then, having a local knowledge into those market would only come from your expertise in that domain. Say I am into SW development, and I know, that billions are being pumped into Bangalore and Shangai market, and I know the big chip players, then I can get into those domains and be successful, NO? I need to get more acumen into financial side of operations. Really so! Best~! -B
