Things are progressing here at Emerginvest quite well, but this week has been mostly development on behind-the-scenes code, so there isn’t too much too report. Aside from that, we know that you, our users, enjoy our site for one reason: a shared passion for global financial trends and emerging markets. In light of that, I wanted to start writing a series posts that would be more pertinent for you. Topics I have in mind are: highlighting global information portals, commenting on insightful articles, and our perspective on major financial topics like portfolio diversification.

For the first of these articles, I wanted to expound upon the last post and aggregate a list of high-quality emerging market and global economic blogs. Most of these authors are financial advisers and economists and I have yet to find a place which combines this wealth of information. This is by no means an exhaustive list, so if you are aware of any more, please let us know.

The list:

http://jetfinvestments.blogspot.com/ - blog aggregating news and information from world emerging markets.

http://jetfinvestments.blogspot.com/ - Great blog on ETF’s.

http://blog.taipanpublishinggroup.com/ - Analysis on global markets from a group of authors, (usually Irwin Greenstein)

http://blogs.msdn.com/acid49/ - Blog focused on commenting about global trends, with a focus on China. Author: Frank Yu from Beijing, China.

http://burnickblog.sovereignsociety.com/emerging_markets/index.html - Analysis on World Markets and Trends. Author: Mike Burnick - great author who is a senior editor and director of research at The Sovereign Society.

http://indianeconomy.org/ - Great Indian blog from a number of contributors.

http://clausvistesen.squarespace.com/alphasources-blog/ - Extremely high quality blog on economic perspectives, with a global perspective.

http://blogs.wsj.com/marketbeat/category/emerging-markets/ - The WallStreetJournal’s Blog on emerging markets – although as of this posting, it hadn’t been updated in a few months.

http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogspot.com/ - Another great blog with a global perspective. Author: Mike Shedlock (a registered investment advisor representative for SitkaPacific Capital Management).

http://memrieconomicblog.org/index.html - Great blog from The Middle East Media Research Institute on economic matters in the Middle East.

This next of blogs is one of the most comprehensive resources on global economics I have seen. The author, Edward Hugh, currently lives in Barcelona and maintains all of the blogs below(in addition to a few others). They are organized by region, in addition to individual countries. Aside from the sheer breadth of his coverage, he has some extremely insightful commentary on world markets.
