When the crunch comes, emerging markets in general could be hit hard, but those that have gone up the most-places like Latin America, India, Russia and China-are likely to fall the most. At times like these, investors should remember that, while buying during selling panics tends to yield superior returns in years to come, euphoric buying binges often prove a wise time to sell. In today's heady environment, I'd recommend building up cash positions, not least by lowering exposure...
