Mar and Apr in 2009 was the market bottom. And market recovered almost 100% by end of 2009. I believe BRIC fund giving 40% is below the market rate. But nonetheless, 40% is still good money :) Happy that it worked for you.

Hope you are well. I must say that UTs did it for me man... I started off with UT and learned the ropes from 2000 - 2006. I made enough to pay off more than half of my house mortgage. UTs have its advantages. I got into a BRIC fund around Mar this year, within 4 months I was looking at 40% profits. UTs gives me access to some counters and exposure that I could not have normally gotten. It has its downside, but if you managed it well like all things, it can do wonders. Cheers! Hi Alvin,

Its been awhile. Hope you are well.
