Hi there

If you would have to invest in any country all over the world...
Which would be your choice and why??

My choices are Dubhai in EUA and Bulgaria ing the black coast... the reasons are low prices and good turism...

Thanks in advance

Which type of investment are you inquiring about?

Stock market investment?

Property investment?

Startup company investment?

Dubai, not Dubhai, is the next best thing, in almost everything.

Especially in property investment.

Honestly, Dubai for me is a no go. I think its just one massive bubble, I believe migrant workers outnumber residents 8-1 or something similar.

Its just silly.

My mistake. Let me do a bit of research. I don't like offering my opinion without a good basis for doing so.

Here is my quick recap of my general knowledge.

Historically, Dubai or Dubai City part of the UAE, is about 150 years old prior to the formation of the UAE, and is one of the most stable nations in the Middle East.

It's rich in oil and has had a relative good economy for many years. Sheikh Mohammed has created many projects in Dubai in the last 6 years that have amassed to over $300 billion in new development.

Most western global companies are building in Dubai and some large companies such as Halliburton have moved their headquarters to Dubai.

So, if you ask me, whether it's prudent to invest in Dubai properties, I'd say yes, for a short term, up to 12 years. Do I foresee economic bubbles in Dubai any time soon, nope. I see a an economic shift from New York to Dubai, having China becoming the world's largest economy in just a few year, Dubai is positioning itself to be the next economic powerhouse for the Asian market.

I am working on investment opportunities in Eastern Europe and the nations of the former USSR. Their economies are booming, and investment funds are skyrocketing. If anyone is interested in reciprocal investments involving these nations, feel free to PM me for additional information.

From experience I have to say Bulgaria and Romania but Romania is getting expensive. Two years ago I would have said Romania, there was no place better and I would have been right because now house prices have gone up.

As it stands today Romania is still one of the best. They have only recently adopted the Euro and their economy is growing fast. So Romania is still a safe bet.

However, in my opinion Bulgaria today is like Romania 2 years ago and I am going to be buying property in Bulgaria towards mid 2008. Bulgaria also recently adopted the Euro and their economy is booming.

The discovery of a large offshore oil field could turn Brazil into a major exporter, just like Saudi Arabia and Venezuela.

Neither Romania nor bulgaria did not adopt Euro.

1. Argentina-why?

coz its the only currency in the world that has devalued against the American dollar. just look at every currency conversion table compared to the usa. while our dollar is going down everywhere else, the Argentine peso is a good bet. with a growing economy, growing tourism outlook, and the hottest women in the world, its a lock. buenos aries is a wee bit expensive, but if you look near bariloche, and mendoza, deals are everywhere. trust me i just got back from there, and its CHEAP
