indythinker85 Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 The PIIGs are extremely cheap (an understatement) on a quantitative basis. Obviously, the macro problems are known to all, and I personally think the euro-crisis is not over. But I am not a market timer. I own some of the ETFs (which are not the best tracking tools) with the largest allocation to Greece. I am scared to buy individual names, as I do not have enough time and doubt its in my circle of competence, but I would consider a basket of equities. Is anyone here investing the region? If so, how? Thanks in advance.
SharperDingaan Posted January 20, 2013 Posted January 20, 2013 If you have an employer sponsored DC pension plan, change the allocation to 100% global equity. The monthly/quarterly investments are small, spread out over time, & in most cases the accumulating pot will not be big enough to overwhelm the DRIP benefits for at least a few years. The fund itself doesn't really matter - name brand, & reasonable expense ratio. Most would also expect the PIIGs to remain in poor shape for at least another 3-5 years, so there is no rush. SD
