Peruvian stock market – good or bad?

Hi all, I am new in the stock market and would like to know more about the Peruvian stock market – like is it safe investing there, are there any near losses? I would like to have the suggestions of people that have really been there and have an internal experience of that stock market. Your suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

Think u have posted the same ques in many finance/investment related forums in the last few days.... Isnt it?

Well, Emerging Markets equities recovered somewhat from their steep losses suffered in January and thus were able to survive the current crisis in capital markets better than their big brothers in the developed countries like US, Japan, China...

To the best of my knowledge and collective info from other resources...

The MSCI (Morgan Stanley Capital International, An index publisher best known for its emerging market indices) Emerging Markets World Total Return Index (December 1988=100) advanced 7.4 % in US dollars and 4.7 % in euros.
Year-to-date, the global emerging markets benchmark is down 6 % in US dollars and 9.5 % in euros.
During the last fourteen months, the MSCI EM Index gained 31 % in US dollars and 13.8 % in euros.
By regions, Latin America gained 8.8 % in February, Asia was up 7.4 %, and Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) advanced 6.2 %.

Over the last fourteen months, Latin America was the best performer with a gain of 53.5 %, Asia came in with a total return of 29.8 % and EMEA gained 17.9 %.
Performance numbers are in US dollars unless mentioned otherwise.
Twenty-one markets in the MSCI Emerging Markets universe rose in February and four declined. Peru (+16.2 %), Taiwan (+14.8 %) and Thailand (+13.4 %) delivered the best performance.
The Philippines (-4.2 %), India (-2.4 %) and Malaysia (-0.3 %) provided the lowest monthly returns.
Over the previous fourteen months all but one of the twenty-five markets covered here rose.
The best performing countries were Peru (+115.7 %), Brazil (+84.5 %) and Egypt (+69.4 %).

Hi, if you are thinking of investing in a particular stock market it is very necessary for you to have a deep knowledge about it. The Peru stock market offers a 3-4 digit investment return and from which a 25 year old bank messenger changed the scenario of life by getting as high as 11 times more that the current investment returns. It is one of the highest among the Top 10 countries offering the most astounding stock returns of the year. It’s like a secret stock market that’s been discovered. I hope that my suggestion will update you more on the Peruvian stock market.
Best of luck!
