Vroooom! China's Auto Market Racing Forward

China's vehicle sales have surpassed the 10-million barrier -- consolidating their position as the number-one auto market in the world. As a result, investors are flocking to the sector. In fact, I know investors who purchased Boyd Gaming Corporation (NYSE: BYD) -- thinking they were buying the Chinese automaker that Warren Buffett made famous: BYD Company! But what all these investors are missing is that domestic Chinese automakers aren't the best way to play this opportunity. more...

Improving Jobs Situation in China

China has created some 7.6 million new jobs in the first eight months of this year -- putting the country fully on-track to surpass their full-year employment target! On the flip side, the U.S. has lost some 7.3 million jobs since the recession began.

So, though the U.S. employment data isn't currently weighing too heavily on the market, the long-term effects will be very damaging. For now, our best investment bet is in China, taking advantage of their dramatic growth and speedy economic recovery. more...

10 Reasons Why China Is Your Best Investment Bet

Because of China's economic strength this year, the Shanghai A-Share Index in China is up a whopping 71% year-to-date.

China's Robust Third-Quarter GDP Results

China's third-quarter GDP results were announced today and showed that the Chinese recovery is moving along at record speeds. China's GDP rose 8.9% in the third quarter compared to last year. That is up from 7.9% for the second quarter and 7.1% for the first half of the year.

Two Ways to Invest in Ending World Hunger

Today is World Food Day -- an opportunity to focus on wordwide hunger. China, the world's most populous country, is in the limelight -- but what many don't know is how far the country has come. 30 years ago, China depended on world aid to feed many of its citizens, while today China is actually sending food aid to many developing countries.

And the government in China is very aware there are still many improvements to be made to the country's agricultural infrastructure. So the government has banned chemical-based fertilizers, which are hard on farmland, and is moving to organic fertilizers as a part of the nation's green revolution. more...

Two Investment Opportunities in Brazil's Build-Out Await

We've seen Brazil in the headlines quite often lately -- from winning the 2016 Olympics to the most recent blackouts. In general, though, investor confidence in Brazil's economy and outlook is rising as we've continued to receive good economic news from the country.

A boost in the jobs numbers, increasing domestic demand and the necessity of improving the country's infrastructure before Brazil hosts the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games will increasingly benefit my two Asia Edge plays on the coming growth and build-out of Brazil. more...

Gold Frenzy -- More Upside From Here?

Gold prices are high. In fact, they're at record heights -- and the question is, where will gold go from here?

Well, to put it simply, gold will continue moving higher for the near term. While there will be pullbacks, they represent buying opportunities rather than the end of the gold bull market. A combination of strong demand from China and continued weakness in the dollar will continue to drive commodity prices higher -- especially gold. more...

"Socialist" China is More Investor Friendly than the U.S.

Despite the great strides that China has undertaken to become an economic superpower, there are some investors who remain unsure if China is the 'real deal' because of the country's history of socialism and authoritarian government. However, the Chinese system known as 'socialism with Chinese characteristics' has become more capitalistic than almost all other major economies. With no capital gains tax, property tax or tax on real estate investment gains, China is actually more investor and capital friendly than the U.S. more...

The 60th Anniversary of the People's Republic of China

Festivities for China's National Day were kicked off with a bang -- the Chinese government went all out to make this year's celebration of the 60th anniversary of the People's Republic of China the biggest and best ever seen in China. And they received overwhelming support, with over one million volunteering to help out with security and the parade. The Chinese have a lot to celebrate -- both their hard-won peace from civil war 60 years ago, as well as the modernization of China today. more...
