Here's a statement of the obvious: The opinions expressed here are those of the participants, not those of the Mutual Fund Observer. We cannot vouch for the accuracy or appropriateness of any of it, though we do encourage civility and good humor.
"Some investors are taking heart over recent positive economic data from China and Japan, which appears to be spurring activity in the rest of Asia. Strong European manufacturing numbers this week and a broader U.S. recovery have added to a guarded sense of optimism.
Other observers say markets already have factored in expectations the U.S. Federal Reserve will soon wind down its easy-money policies later this year. It was fear of this shift that pushed U.S. rates higher in the spring, leading investors to pull money out of emerging markets and back to developed nations.
That's not INVESTING, it's hurry-up-quicky in-and-out-and-in-and-out TRADING. The ol' "in and out" has a particular meaning for the protagonist in "A Clockwork Orange." (A phrase stolen from Shakespeare, somewhere.) That's how I mean it, too--- in a very negative sense.

These "investors" plow OUT and then back IN, in just a matter of DAYS? As "investors," they need to be protected from themselves.
