Barron’s has a lead article titled “Invest in Japan.” What do you think? Time to jump in after the huge tragedy? From my own experience, tragedies are one of the best times to jump in. Take 9/11, quick slide, nice and quick recovery. Will Japan be the same? Nobody really knows, especially with the current level of uncertainty.
If you do want to invest, as I’m thinking about it, I think investing in ETFs is the smart way to go.

Marsico has a few good funds
Marsico Focus (MFOCX)
Marsico Growth (MGRIX)
But looks like the best one, and also part of Kiplinger’s 25, and one that I own, is Marsico Global Fund (MGLBX).
Sorry. No data so far.
