<br />
The editor of <a href="http://sectorexchange.com/">SectorExchange.com</a> suggests, "It is reasonable to assume there is still room for growth in the global markets. <br />
<br />
"However, the risk of putting new money to work has risen along with prices. It is important to be patient and develop a realistic strategy for adding these assets to your portfolio. Two markets in particular worth looking at are India and Japan.<p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/11/10/sector-guru-focuses-on-india-and-japan/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sector Guru Focuses on India and Japan</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2010/11/10/sector-guru-focuses-on-india-and-japan/">Sector Guru Focuses on India and Japan</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 10 Nov 2010 17:00:00 EST.

<p>"My question is why is it so hard for investors to hold cash in their portfolios? Why do so many investment advisors not increase cash positions when market trends shift? Why do professionally managed mutual funds not increase their cash holdings? </p>
<p>"It goes against the psychological grain of investing. It is human nature to believe we may miss out on something. The emotions of investing are in full swing when a prolonged downtrend begins. These emotions dictate how we think and how we act during this period.</p><p><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/03/19/sector-expert-dont-forget-cash/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Sector expert: 'Don't forget cash'</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com/2008/03/19/sector-expert-dont-forget-cash/">Sector expert: 'Don't forget cash'</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.bloggingstocks.com">BloggingStocks</a> on Wed, 19 Mar 2008 12:50:00 EST.
