Investing in the Qatar Exchange
If Qatar is poised for huge increases in Gross Domestic Product ( GDP ) and Qatar says it is one of the least affected by the financial crisis why is it that the Qatar Exchange ( formerly the Doha Securities Market) has been performing rather poorly.
The return in the year 2009 was under 1 %. That is way lower than some other GCC countries.
Does this reprsent an oppurtunity ?
The link below is very positive.

ieadamy, I don't think so.. Here it operates with slightly different mechanism. You have higher chances of losing your money if you trade in individual stocks. And you may not earn anything end of the day with funds such as waseela. They are long-term anyway.
'In the Long Run' is a song by the Eagles. How long do I have to run?
I concur, i recently came across a product being offered by commercialbank called the Al Waseela fund. It invests in a number of Qatari stocks and as such your risk is spread out. I think you should opt for this fund, would give considerable returns in the long run.
