Top Summer Stock #10: iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index

Our final summer pick is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that allows you to participate in the world's fastest-moving international sector—the emerging markets. The iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index (EEM) gives you exposure to the best stocks in some of the hottest emerging markets—Brazilian petroleum firms, Chinese telecommunications companies and Taiwanese semiconductor manufacturers, just to name a few.

These companies all are growing at a blistering pace, and their share price increases have helped to send EEM up more than 40% since early March. As investors across the globe continue to seek big returns wherever they can be found, we expect more money to flow into EEM—and that may just mean a big summer surge in this emerging market ETF.
