Emerging Markets Performance and Potential

Emerging markets have underperformed mega-cap stocks like the S&P 500 for over a decade. However, opportunities in emerging markets, such as India, Mexico, and Indonesia, are attracting investor interest. Factors like weak dollar, high dividend yields, and potential catalysts like dollar weakening could drive emerging market stocks forward despite concerns about China's performance and geopolitical risks.
