    And current P/E's may not accurately reflect country P/E's six months or a year from now. At best, reasonable people might conclude that Shanghai and the U.S. look expensive at the moment, despite differences on the other measures.

    Singapore. Great place with great future. Extraordinarily diverse. Very high tech, including bio. A Western-friendly center of Asian business. Inflation is 1%. The current no-brainer in foreign markets. See EWS

    Malaysia. High Tech. Labor going to be less than China. Politically and socially very secure for foreign investment. Oil and food independent. 3% inflation. Similar future to Brazil, but better value right now. See EWM
