Emerging markets

[Raj Tirur]

Does anyone have good sources for investing in emerging markets?  Down the road, once I have built some wealth with my rentals, I'd like to study economic trends such as employment to decipher some patterns in economic growth.  I know there are several sources out there geared towards this and was wondering if anyone knew off hand what some were.  Also, is there anyone out there who has had success in speculating appreciation in markets, then investing and has hit big?
