Foreign Investment: Bank of England solves the UK banking crisis?

Nine Dragons Paper (Holdings) Ltd. UPDATE: Hold on tight to this Chinese green stock

Back on February 21, 2008, I recommended a buy on Nine Dragons (Holdings) Ltd. below $1.90: http://www.todaysfinancialnews.com/hot-stock-pick-of-the-week/green-stocks-2/ Well, below $1.90 it certainly is now.

Global Recession: China’s manufacturing base is in crisis

by J. Christoph Amberger Baltimore — (TFN): If you follow the financial media, especially the output of dollar-phobe analysts, you might think that “Pork problems perturbing Peking” are the worst concern China is dealing with right now.

Foreign Investment: Is Latin America decoupling?

“When the United States, the leading importer of Latin American goods, struggled through a recession in 2002, six of Latin America’s most prominent currencies dropped by 20% or more.

Foreign Investment: The showdown for Africa begins

“Africa is malnourished, politically impotent, overrun with disease, and teeming with warlords, so it’s no surprise the typical life expectancy is 20%-30% below the global average. Despite such a daunting outlook, Africa will be the most hotly contested battleground for the two of the world’s most influential powers over [...]

Foreign Investment: Chinese currency will keep rising

“Parabolic rises in food and energy prices have China’s inflation rate at a 12-year high.

Foreign Investment: A water shortage may destroy China’s economy

“With an economy that’s advancing at an average annual clip of better than 11%, $1.7 trillion in currency reserves, and an emerging middle class that will soon be the world’s largest, China represents the future to globally focused investors and businesses alike. But there’s always been a concern about just how [...]

Russia: The safest emerging market

“Although they’ve had an incredible run, we have to remember there’s a reason we still call them emerging markets. With that status comes a significant amount of risk. I don’t care what’s happened over the past five years; I care what’s going to happen over the next two.” — [...]

Japanese Stocks: Time to bargain hunt?

‘The U.S had 0.6% growth in the last quarter and 1% population growth. In my book, that’s a recession. Now Japan is running at about three-and-a-half percent at the moment and they’ve got no population growth so that is a real three-and-a-half percent. So overall, the Japanese are really pretty solid.’ — Martin Hutchinson, editor [...]

Foreign Investing: Is Singapore the new Switzerland?

Foreign Investment: Follow the money to Russia

“Russia is a developing economy building airports, rail lines and other vital infrastructure. In contrast, the United States relies heavily on cash-strapped consumers to squeeze growth from its service-dominated economy. Without real assets and increased production from those assets, U.S. growth potential can’t compare to Russia’s.” — [...]

Investing in Asia

"The Asia Tigers economies are expanding at rates we can’t even begin to comprehend in the developed countries. And tiny Vietnam is now a hotter manufacturing locale than China. In fact, Intel has invested a billion dollars in one industrial area near Ho Chi Minh City in Viet Nam. That’s more [...]

Foreign Investment: Profit from Burj Dubai
