Investing in India:
Monster Profits Ahead from the Newest Pacific Tiger.
Investing in India and its roaring economy should be on the front burner for anyone interested in creating real wealth for the second half of the decade.
Go here now.
Dear Newsmax Reader,
A few savvy investors saw this one coming-the bull market in India. And have made some monster profits over the past year.
While the Indian market has experienced a short-term correction recently, we feel this locked-in profit trend will be in place for at least the rest of the decade.
During the third quarter of 2005, The Economic Times reported that at the time, a whopping 118 Indian companies had earned more in the prior three months than them had during the entire previous year.
Many Indian companies have seen their bottom lines rise to such an extent that they have surpassed the net profit for the last full year in just three months of the current fiscal year. Over 100 companies found a place in this list of outperformers.
Get the complete list of top five Indian companies. Go here now.
Not only has that trend continued through mid-2006-it has accelerated into a higher gear.
In fact, the Indian stock market is up 200% over the past five years, compared with 65% in China and 11% in the U.S.
Recently, Financial Intelligence Report met with chief economist for the Asia region at a major Swiss Bank. He's based in Hong Kong but we cannot reveal his name or his bank's name, but you would recognize it immediately.
He told us that the two best investments you can make in Asia today are in the Indian market and, secondly, in the Japanese yen.
Our inside contact says the yen, which as underperformed for years, is still cheap. But he also says that India is a much better investment at this time than China.
Get our latest strategies on the Japanese Yen and the top Indian investments in our latest issue. Go here now.
7 Reasons Why India Should Be a "Must-Own" Part of Your Portfolio
Here are 7 reasons why India should find its way into your portfolio. The sooner the better!
- A Booming Economy: Economic growth is estimated to be 8.1%in 2006.
- Industrial Production is Way Up: India's Quick Estimates of Index of Industrial Production in January 2006 grew to 273.3; an 8.3% increase compared to January 2005.
- Foreign Investment is Skyrocketing: Global investors are flocking to India, with foreign direct investments flows reaching a high of $647.7 million in January 2006, compared to $152 million a year earlier.
- The Stock Market is Climbing: India's benchmark Sensex stock index hurled the 11,000 barrier, reaching a record high on March 21, 2006. While past performance is not always the best indicator, it does show that early investments in India are paying off for investors outpacing returns in Mexico, Brazil, and Kuwait.
- Inflation is Down: Inflation , as measured by the Wholesale Price Index fell to 4.1% as of Feb. 4, 2006, compared to 5% in February 2005.
- English Speaking: Most people in India speak English giving it a tremendous advantage over China and other emerging Asian economies.
- Well Educated Workforce: India now produces over 3 million college graduates each year-a number expected to double by 2010
All of these advantages-plus the fact that many Indian employees will accept as little as 0ne-tenth the wages paid to U.S. workers-explain why corporate giants like GE, Intel, Texas Instruments, IBM, Electronic Data Systems, Microsoft, Cummins and PeopleSoft are outsourcing technical support, programming, design and other high-tech work to India.
Our inside contact at the Swiss bank also noted that India more closely adheres to Western accounting standards, whereas China's bookkeeping methods are notoriously unreliable.
We believe that India offers investors better long-term prospects than China. For a complete list of our top Indian funds, stocks and ADRs to buy now follow this link.
A Remarkable Record of Success
Since launching FIR, we have had a remarkable record of success understanding trends and piggybacking our investment recommendations on them.
We continue to have great success across a diversified spectrum of investments. Our 2004 investment recommendations are up 46% on average compared to just 15% for the S&P.
OK, so what have we done lately, you ask? Our 2005 investments have risen an average of 22% compared to just 6% for the S&P. Not bad.
Our success has nothing to do with luck or a "crystal ball." We just believe in understanding trends, and riding the right ones at the right time-avoiding the imposters along the way-and then acting on our intelligence to know when it's time to step aside.
But it's not that easy for the average investor to accomplish on his or her own. You need to have a source you can rely on.
We Help You Make Sense of the Avalanche of Information
One of the reasons FIR has been so successful at finding the truth and revealing it: We don't have vested interests.
All of the major financial TV shows and publications are dependent on advertising from both major corporations and financial firms, which benefit from a bull market. These businesses will no doubt penalize media outlets that offer bearish perspectives.
FIR strives to offer a "distance" in its contrarian financial analysis. We think our contrarian outlook is wise as long as it is based on facts-not a religion of negativity. Some call FIR a "doom and gloom" publication. We absolutely disagree, and we must point out that we have been bullish on many investment sectors.
Today we feel that there are some worrisome signs indicating future economic woes for the U.S. And we didn't come to that conclusion quickly. For instance, our longtime readers know it took us some time to become bearish on real estate. In 2004 we recommended several REITs that investors could benefit from.
At that time, several "doom and gloom" newsletters were predicting a radical real estate-inspired depression. But we didn't buy into that scenario.
As 2005 unfolded, it was clear to us that the real estate bubble was indeed set to pop, and we advised investors to sell their REITs for a tidy profit. Those included Catellus Development (+66%), Tanger Factory Outlets (+50%) and Parkway Properties (+33%).
A Bearish Year Ahead . But a Few Sectors Will Soar
At FIR we find it difficult to believe that with continued high-energy prices, elevated interest rates and a cooling housing market that the Dow or other major stock market averages are likely to finish up in 2006. In fact, we see them falling below last year's close.
A year ago, in our January 2005 issue "2005: Bush's Boomlet," we predicted fairly accurately that 2005 would bring a pretty good market. In fact, just days after the year ended, the Dow hit a record 11,000. And it would have done even better had energy prices not remained so high.
We did warn investors in that very same issue - and quite correctly, I might add - to avoid certain investments, such as junk-bond funds, major U.S. airlines and American auto manufacturers. You only had to glance at news headlines throughout the year to discover our advice was dead-on.
So yes, we are bearish this year but feel investors can reap better rewards outside the overall U.S equity markets.
