Urgent Update on Overseas Stock Markets
Martin Weiss, Ph.D. advises investors that the boom in overseas stock markets is not slowing. In this issue of Money and Markets, Dr. Weiss discusses three foreign markets and how to invest in them. "Despite the fact that the U.S. market has made new highs, it's still lagging far behind -- with no sign of acceleration, no new hope for distressed industries like autos and housing, and virtually no chance of catching up with Asia or Latin America," says Martin Weiss, Ph.D. The S&P 500 was up 13.6% last year. Yet Poland was up 41.6% and Russia, 92.5%. China was up 131% and Vietnam rose 144.5%. And Brazil was up 32.9%. Today, in contrast, investing in foreign markets couldn't be easier. There's an exchange-traded fund (ETF) for nearly every major stock market in the world. ETFs are issued by some of the largest and most stable U.S. financial institutions. And anyone can buy them at almost any time -- in tiny amounts, huge amounts, or anything in between. And like domestic ETFs, international ETFs are traded like stocks. Joseph Weiss, who lives in Brasilia, is convinced that the stock market boom in Brazil is not a passing phase. "Brazil has more untapped arable lands than any other country in the world. So it's going to be a big winner in the world population boom. Brazil is the world's biggest producer of ethanol. So it's going to be a big winner in the alternate energy boom. And, Brazil is the world's largest producer of small- and medium-sized aircraft, and the third largest maker of aircraft overall, trailing only the U.S. and France," said Mr. Weiss. Last year, Russia's stock market was up over 90%. According to Claus Vogt, the editor of the German edition of Safe Money Report, "It's incorrect to say that Russia is almost entirely an oil play. Yes, about half of the Russian stock market capitalization is made up of oil and gas companies. But people who make that argument are missing the rest of a very dynamic story -- a financial sector that's growing very impressively and an industrial sector which is finally being rebuilt as well. This helps explain why Russia's stock market was up by over 90% last year, and should continue to rise sharply in the years ahead." Larry Edelson identified three powerful factors driving Chinese markets in the near-term. Beijing is spending $500 billion -- a half trillion dollars -- on just two events -- the 2008 Olympics and the 2010 Shanghai World Expo. Second, on March 1, Beijing will put into effect relaxed leasing laws allowing Chinese to start leasing cars, computers, office equipment and more, propelling the consumer economy even further. And third, in the next few months, China is probably going to allow insurance companies, which are some of the largest in the world, to start investing in the commercial property markets, sending property -- and stock markets -- still higher. Dr. Weiss advises, "These reports from Claus in Europe, Joe in Brazil and Larry in Asia are not just extremely timely. They're also rich with profit potential."
