Brazil, Russia, India And China - BRIC

Four of the world’s leading emerging markets, accounting for ~40% of global population and ~25% of land mass (and associated natural resources), with an uncreative acronym bestowed by a Goldman Sachs economist in the early-2000s.

After making millions trading in the markets of advanced economies in Europe and North America, little Jimmy decided to explore Earth’s other investable economies, so he packed his bow tie and bought tickets to the BRIC countries to do some primary research.

On his trip, he learned that Brazil and Russia have the potential to dominate the world’s supply of raw materials, while India and China could take the reins in manufacturing and outsourced services.

Now he has to decide whether it makes more sense to form amicable bonds with these markets...or agitate them with a trade war. We don't envy poor Jimmy's decision.
