Martin Hutchinson reveals a surprising country with decent growth ... Even emerging market superstars like India and China are beginning to panic about domestic inflation levels. Martin Hutchinson reveals a surprising country with decent growth and modest inflation that is worthy of your investment dollars. By Krista Das, TodaysFinancialNews.com Baltimore mdash; (TFN): The following is taken from this week's Market Insights video featuring Martin Hutchinson. Krista Das: So which company is rising above the rest of the equities market? Watch this Market Insights video NOW. Martin Hutchinson: The country is South Korea, and the reason is that it has decent growth, about five percent this year, and low-ish inflation, running currently at about 4.9, which is pretty close to where the U.S. inflationrsquo;s running, and much lower than China and India, which are both around ten percent, or even a bit above, in Indiarsquo;s case. Krista Das: Why do you think South Korearsquo;s doing so well now? Martin Hutchinson: Well, I think partly, itrsquo;s had a positive political shock in that until last year, it was run by a government that really wasnrsquo;t terribly interested in economics. It was sort of center left and they were putting the chairmen of the major conglomerates in jail. Then they had an election in December and a parliamentary election in April and elected a pro-business government, and that is committed to economic growth, obviously. And itrsquo;s also not putting the chairmen of the major companies in jail and generally not harassing business. Not increasing government spending. Now, thatrsquo;s one of Korearsquo;s big pluses. Their government spendingrsquo;s way lower than anybody elsersquo;s, even Japanrsquo;s or U.S., let alone Europe. Krista Das: Well, it sounds like therersquo;s good opportunities in South Korea for investing. Does South Korea have stocks that are ADRs fully listed on New York that trade in a reasonable volume? Martin Hutchinson: Yes, it has about five that are pretty reasonable. You have to remember that South Korearsquo;s a sort of anti-play on the commodities economy. It doesnrsquo;t have huge amounts of natural resources. So one of the reasons why its stock market has not zoomed up and, indeed, has gone down with the others, is that most of its companies are short commodity prices rather than long, if you like. In other words, POSCO, for example, the steel company, just got socked with a 65 percent increase in the price of iron ore from its main suppliers. That was earlier this year. But POSCOrsquo;s the most efficient steel company in the world. Once iron ore prices start going up 65 percent a year, then POSCO will do well. Obviously, to the extent that everybody elsersquo;s iron ore prices go up the same amount, they will suffer, too. So thatrsquo;s certainly one good recommendation, but wait lsquo;til commodities look as though theyrsquo;ve gone off the boiler bit, and thatrsquo;s PSC on the New York Stock Exchange. Krista Das: What about a Korean ETF? Martin Hutchinson: We havenrsquo;t got there yet, because the other one you want to look at is the bank, Kookmin Bank, which is on a price-earnings ratio of only about seven and a half currently. The advantage of Kookmin is that they had a housing bubble, but it was sort of five years ago and quite small, and they were busy coping with that, so they didnrsquo;t ndash; unlike the Japanese banks, they didnrsquo;t invest in the U.S. housing disaster. Therefore, Kookminrsquo;s going along, making housing loans, consumer loans, and business loans in Korea, while, as I say, a seven and a half times price-earnings ratio, about a four and a half percent yield. Itrsquo;s a terribly good deal. The third one Irsquo;d suggest you look at is SK Telecom, which is the leading cell phone provider in Korea. Itrsquo;s just over 50 percent market share. It was holding its market share down because the government wouldnrsquo;t let it expand under the previous government...

From the future of banking ... Once you think you have a grasp on which direction one market takes, something unexpected happens to another economy across the globe. From the future of banking to rising oil prices, Global Market Specialist and Editor of the Money Map Report and the Money Map VIP Trader, Horacio Marquez answers your questions on a myriad of issues facing the global economy today. By Krista Das, TodayFinancialNews.com Baltimore mdash; (TFN): The following is taken from this week's Market Insights video featuring Horacio Marquez. Krista Das: When you were last on the show a few months ago, you recommended U.S. Steel and thatrsquo;s gone up over 38 percent since then. The steel market is still going strong. Which stocks should we focus on? Watch this Market Insights video NOW. Horacio Marquez: Well, U.S. Steel is a very good opportunity that still keeps going and I do not intend to recommend a sale right now. In addition, last week I did recommend investing in Mittal Steel, which is the largest integrated steel producer in the world. Mittal Steel has tremendous competitive advantages because of economies of scale and itrsquo;s widespread presence in every continent. In addition to that we can also say that other steel producers in the U.S. like Nucor and very opportunistically and more as a trading vehicle, GSI, General Steel, is ndash; those stocks are very attractive over here as well. I would like to also say that the Asian steel makers in Japan for example, Nippon Steel and in other countries, Korea, etc., are also doing very, very well. Krista Das: Okay. Now letrsquo;s switch to the financial sector for a moment. Lehman Brothers is rapidly deteriorating with two of its top executives ousted. This seems reminiscent of Bear Stearns collapse. Is a sale imminent? Horacio Marquez: Well, Irsquo;d say that the stock price action is where all the similarities end because actually Lehman Brothers, after the massive deleveraging that they have conducted in the order of $147 billion as Dick Fuld, its chairman revealed today in the quarterly disclosure, basically and in addition to that the massive recapitalization and reduction of leverage that theyrsquo;ve done, Lehman Brothers is as capitalized, as liquid and as strong as it has ever been. Basically what wersquo;re seeing right now is a little bit of backing and filling and basically some investors that initially thought that they did not get the full picture of the situation at Lehman a few months ago that were disenchanted with the stock and have sold off having created an incredible buying opportunity. Actually we have seen Lehman Brother rise from levels of $20 a share to about $27 a share today. In the last few days the rallying Lehman shares has been fantastic and I expect this situation to continue moving forward. Krista Das: Talking about the big picture, whatrsquo;s the big picture with the U.S. economy? Commodity prices are high and labor is weak. Horacio Marquez: Well, commodity prices have been high basically because of pretty accommodative monetary policies by the U.S., Europe, Japan and many other countries around the world, but that posture has changed. The European Union has adopted the ECB, the European Central Bank, has adopted a more hawkish stance and the Federal Reserve has followed in those steps as well. In the meantime wersquo;ve seen tightening of monetary policy in Australia, in Brazil, in Indian. Tightening bias in Korea, in Canada, in many countries around the world because all of these countries are recognizing that the commodity prices have the briskness in the rise of these commodity prices pose a risk to their economies and therefore theyrsquo;re willing to take a little bit lower growth in order to control those price rises. On the other side, in the U.S., the fact that unemployment has shot up to 5.5 percent, is actually one of the most bullish buying indicators that we can see. Irsquo;ve checked it and...
