How to Invest In Foreign and Emerging Markets for Higher Profits – And Lower Risk
World markets provide a way for you to add diversity to your portfolio (and thus reduce risk), and they also let you profit from the dynamic growth often seen in emerging countries such as China, Russia and India, to name a few…
With the help of Investment U, you can follow bull markets as they emerge first in one part of the world and then the next, profiting from each upturn in stocks whether they occur in Malaysia or Mexico. As the saying about global investing goes: There’s ALWAYS a bull market happening somewhere…
Among analysts who track the world markets, Dr. Steve Sjuggerud is among the very best, largely because he does most of his research on the ground and “in country.”
A Few Examples of Dr. Sjuggerud’s Global Investing Theory:
For what he calls the “kicking the tires” experience, Dr. Sjuggerud’s gone global to more out-of-the-way countries, and successfully recommended investing in more of them, than anyone we know.
Trips to Ecuador and Iceland come to mind.
- He recommended buying stocks in Ecuador at the beginning of 2000. And the market there rose by triple digits in dollar terms in 2000 and 2001.
- He recommended Icelandic bonds in 2002, and investors who followed his advice made double-digit returns in three separate ways: income, capital gains and currency gains.
During his many investment expeditions, which often are offered to readers of the Investment U E-Letter, Dr. Sjuggerud has…
- Given the white-glove test to real estate investments in Panama
- Inspected factory floors in China and visited the Shanghai Stock Exchange to see how trading really works in the world’s most populous marketplace
- Talked with stockbrokers in the pubs of Reykjavik last year, when Iceland was outpacing every other developed economy in the world.
Investment U’s Global Investment Plays Inspired by “In Country” Research
Bottom line: When Steve recommends a foreign investment, you can be sure that he’s recommending it from an intimate knowledge of what’s really happening in that country and how the market’s being affected by global trends…
Another example was Steve’s recent visit to Buenos Aires, where he met a man named Marcelo Mindlin, of Dolphin Fund Management in Argentina.
In Investment U issue # 322, Mindlin revealed firsthand an extraordinary global investment strategy to Investment U readers that now allows them to make 4.4 times their money by reading the “Crisis and Profits Cycles” in emerging markets.
As Steve reported back… Basically, every emerging economy – he named those of Thailand, Indonesia, Russia and Brazil – goes through a continual series of crises and rallies, in this order:
1. Crisis hits, stocks crash, losing as much as 90%
2. An enormous rally comes, with stocks gaining an average of 440% in value
3. A massive correction then hits, with stocks losing over 50% of their value
The trick is to time your investment in that foreign market to coincide with the beginning of the rally. When is that? Approximately one to one and a half years after the crisis breaks on the world stage…
Currencies and Foreign Bonds
But Dr. Sjuggerud is also a shrewd follower of world currency markets and isn’t afraid to tell people what he really believes is happening with global investments in those the markets, versus what they want to hear.
For example, he stunned many readers in late 2003 (IU E-Letter #279) by flat-out denying that a massive U.S. dollar crash was in the offing, even through the dollar had been tanking out for nearly a year at the time.
As Steve wrote: “The dollar is only overvalued by 9% when compared to the euro… in my mind, this isn’t a big deal.” With that one sentence, he steered readers away from investing huge amounts of dollars into euro bonds and the currency itself. When the dollar began a shocking rally shortly thereafter, those readers thanked him.
Steve then went on to recommend a good currency play on the four cheapest currencies in the world: dollars from New Zealand, Australia and Canada, along with the South African rand. Plus the investment pays 4% in interest…
The New Zealand Dollar then immediately went on to test historic highs against the U.S. dollar within a few short months, as indicated in the chart below.
