I shouldn't post this as it's probably an impossible task i.e. to get the future of world markets right.
Anyway here is a chart of the US total stock market (VTSMX), the emerging markets, European markets, and the EURO vs US dollar (FXE):
The chart is since May when things seemed to start to fall out of bed.
Notice the EM markets are not decoupling from the developed markets as some predicted would occur. Also the big problems in Europe are viewed as much bigger then in the US for now.
An interesting (and troubling) situation, no?
So have others adjusted their international exposures in stocks?
