Emerging market portfolios have done very well for us in the last two years.

Our 2006 Asian Emerging portfolio rose a remarkable 114%. The 2007 Emerging Market Portfolio was up even more + 122.62% so when we introduced our 2008 portfolios at our International Business and Investing Course in Ecuador last week we included a 2008 Emerging Market Portfolio.

Here it is: 2008 Emerging Equity Portfolio

USD Jyske Invest Chinese Equities 50,000.00

USD Jyske Inv Latin Am Equities 50,000.00

EUR Jyske Inv EasT Euro Equities 50,000.00

EUR Jyske Inv Turkish Equities 50,000.00

INVESTED $100,000

50.00% SGD 4.375% 50,000.00

50.00% CHF 4.375% 50,000.00

2008 looks exciting for sure and we look forward to sharing it and these ideas with you.

P.S. We hope you will join us in Ecuador in 2008.

Multi Currency portfolios are not the only way to enjoy profits in emerging countries. At our latest Ibarra Real estate tour delegates joined us to look at a hacienda for sale that contains a Swiss cheese factory. The factory includes its own cave full of Swiss cheese.

Here is the entrance to the hacienda.

Here I am at the entrance to the cave.

Here I enjoy a look round the cave! The factory produces 20 of these cheeses a day. Each sells for $30.

Our course fee is rising for our 2008 courses. Since we have had only one price increase in over 20 years we are forced to make a substantial increase now.

We are accepting early enrollments for our 2008 courses at

the 2007 price for about two more weeks so if you sign up now, you’ll save.

Here is the winter schedule below showing the early enrollment and soon to be prices.

If you plan to come to three or more courses next year the best option is the International Club at $1,999. All the courses below are included. The new price will be $2,999. You can enroll in the club for 2008 (though the catalog says 2007) at https://www.garyascott.com/catalog/international-club
