Mr Greenspan tried to reassure investors this week about the continuation of the current economic growth. Remember that when the last major economic cycle that started in march 2003 the PE ratio was at around 16.

| Chile Leads the Latin Pack |
|
While the whole region is back in favor with investors, it seems appropriate to highlight Chile which is the economic star of Latin America. The Chile story is somewhat similar to Ireland before its economic takeoff. From 1991-1998 economic growth increased an average of 8% and per capita income on a purchasing power basis has grown to $10,700. Current President Ricardo Lagos Escobar is under pressure to improve economic growth rates and bring down the stubbornly high 8% unemployment rate. Another alternative would be the iShares Latin America 40 (ILF) which invests in Mexico, Brazil, Chile and Argentina.
