Hello,
I think Africa is the best place for investmests.This is because of the vast amount of resources and human resources.

yes, certain parts of African can be very risky. But I do think natural resources is a good place to start your research.

There is no one answer to that question - investment is a very personal thing.

as a rule of thumb you should not invest in business or places that you do not understand.

you want to have a basic understanding of anything that you invest in because it is the only way to invest wisely.

if you invest in business you do not understand you will most likely not have money for very long and it becomes likely you will be taken advantage of.

You cannot have a stable industrialized nation without a stable government. This means there will be an unstable economy. Africa doesn't have anything of value or we would be there right now. You cannot have a workforce of aids ridden people, this leads to underemployed businesses.

Its always good to invest in countries which are well-endowed with resources--natural resources and human resources. Second, we should also consider the macroeconomic stability of a country which means we should see to it that the country has a high real gdp growth (since it shows the growth potential of an economy), high real gdp (since it indicates a large market--representing the consumption capacity of the people), exchange rate stability (since fluctuations tend to affect businesses negatively), among others. Finally, the political stability of a country should also be assessed since a highly unstable country hinders the growth of businesses and increases the risk of reaping losses.

We should also look at the fiscal incentives being offered by countries. The developing countries are usually the most generous when it comes to providing incentives to investors.

If I'm going to invest in a country, I'll go for UK and Japan. Their macroeconomic performance is great. Their market is large and these countries are politically stable.

HIV/AIDS, does it really originate from Africa continent? If yes, does it means people affected with HIV can not work to earn a living? I believe Africa is very rich in every aspects of life. Africa continent supplies 80% of raw materials being use in the science world today. What is the future of Africa and Africans?

China would be a not bad choice.
Diligent & smart people. cheap labor, politically stable, pegged currency to US$ with biggest foreign exchange reserve, low tax; if you like stock market, already 80% discount from the peak.
How do you think?wink
