...necessarily. That's because, with some well-publicized exceptions, emerging markets are on the whole not in bubble territory. Yes, share prices have been rising rapidly. But so have corporate earnings during what has become an epic global economic boom. As a result, emerging-market stocks still look relatively cheap. Based on projected 12-month earnings, the average price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of companies in emerging countries tracked by the MSCI index is 13.

Armed with fabric, cheap thread and a leftover dollar (“for emergencies”), Baird rushes to her 1 p.m. class. Three hours later, she returns to her lair—a public room in her entryway that she reserved for 24 hours—to start pinning the dress into shape over her dress...
From an American perspective, China is a cheap country to live in. Living in Beijing this summer, I marveled at how affordable everything—from a train ticket to tutoring—was. Only after a bit of Web-surfing did I realize: if it seems like it’s too good to be true, it probably is. My $8, four-course gourmet dinners, I realized, were the manifestation of an economic imbalance, and one that the U.S. Senate is well aware...
