Hi guys,
I been thinking about this issue for a while, and perhaps, the following places may help encourage some exchange of ideas in the following topics.
Best places to invest
1) Myanmar theme stocks
2) Crisis hit countries / companies - Spain, Greece, Portugal (or companies with proxies to this markets)
3) BRIC
4) Resources - Indonesia (in particular)
Read more about part 1 on my blog

How about Ireland? English speaking. Rule of the law. Hardworking and resilient people. Low taxes.

Ireland sounds nice but every crisis in history there's always been a trigger of mass migration and since this crisis many young people in Ireland have been leaving because there's been no job prospects in ireland.
Also what are the taxes like, they still owe 91 billion even tho by dec they exit the EU bailout program, how will they service or pay off debt? I can only see taxation but if young are leaving and old remaining who is going to work for economy, no economy how gov can get income tax from it?
Property tax? Shares gains tax? dividends tax?

3) Not until you can manage your emotions, you can manage your money.
Truism of Investments.
A) Buying a security is buying RISK not Return
B) You can control RISK (to a certain level, hopefully only.) But definitely not the outcome of the Return.

IMO, the best places to invest, at any time, are those within your circles of competency.
Myanmar's prospect is good, but might not for those aren't prepared, both for individuals and companies. Vietnam's prospect was good years ago. Those have invested were stuck, and only seeing the light recently.

Personally, indonesia has been the country i look out for. I been working for this company for 5 years already. And most of our customers are from indonesia. With the hugh population, increasing middle class, growth in a few cities eg. Balikpapan, we should see good returns.
Stock market, agriculture, transport, these are the growth area i believe in. But next year, they will change president. Will the next president continue to grow the economy?

Yes! If you are not competent in something, that something you have to depend on people who are competent in that thing lol.
Like do you doctor yourself? No right. Even doctors you try to seek the more competent ones. At least by their reputations in the markets.
In the stock markets, is there any difference in thinking? i think, most of us here like to DIY more than seeking competent Fund managers with establised reputations. If not why are we here?

Myanmmar biggest factor is the military how much do you trust the junta government? but that aside they have the most youngest and growing population in asia but gov still on learning curve transparency red tape? property wise they already pass law can buy houses but cannot buy land so my dream of owning my own seaside marina has dashed! 
So I probably won't take too much risk just invest in the stock market let others figure out the red tape.

Investment is about property rights, which is protected by rule of law.
No rule of law no invest.
