Skyrocketing Food Prices

Food prices have soared around the world.


In Asian and Latin American countries food expenditures represent a much higher percentage of incomes than they do in the U.S..


Higher food prices will likely be the source of continued turmoil in the middle-east and emerging economies. I believe that emerging markets should be avoided at the moment.

GWM Model Portfolios now have very limited exposure to foreign and emerging market holdings.
