By Jim Scherrer,
Let’s start out by assuming that you’re a pretty savvy investor; your 401k, IRA, or personal investments have kept up with the S&P 500 average during the past ten years and you’ve lost only about 35% of your life’s savings! Did you realize that the Mexican Exchange Traded Fund (EWW) which represents the Mexican stock market, even though it was annihilated during the current recession along with all other markets throughout the world (but is recovering rapidly), has advanced by 200% during the same time frame? In other words, $100 invested in the S&P 500 in 1999 would now be worth $65, whereas if it were invested in the Mexican EWW fund it would now be worth $200. Please refer to the ten year graph in order to see the comparisons between these two areas of investment and perhaps you can speculate as to where might be the best market to place your next bet!

The State of Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta ~ Summer 2009
by Marla Hoover
It is official the “wait and see” attitude has changed to “get ‘er done”. While last winter we all faced the slide of the US stock and orld markets and their jittery aftermath, then held our breath while we waited to see what was going to be its effects on the Puerto Vallarta
real estate market. Now we are seeing the resuscitation of that market. However, this is not without many lessons being learned. It is a new paradigm out there as many can attest to.
