Using the well-known Buffet metric of national Gross Domestic Product divided by Total Equity Market Cap, Guru Focus has calculated a rough valuation level for several developed and emerging market countries. Just as expected they have found that most of the current opportunity lies outside of the US Markets. Check out the table to the right for each countries projected forward annual return.  For the full story on how the valuation levels were calculated and an in depth look at the implications visit [http://www.gurufocus.com/global-market-valuation.php](http://www.gurufocus.com/global-market-valuation.php). ### Written by [Stephen Gary](https://blog.globalviewinv.com/author/stephen-gary) [Read other posts](https://blog.globalviewinv.com/author/stephen-gary) This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty. ### **Are you on track for the future you want?** Schedule a free, no-strings-attached portfolio review today.
