Obama Presidency: Investors flee overseas
Today's Financial News - Posted November 5, 2008
Savvy investors are spreading their wealth overseas. While the headlines paint a dire picture across the globe, there are some real pockets of incredible profit potential. Make wise international investments and you could be counting your profits before the new administration is even in office.

Baltimore – (TFN): It is no surprise to see the equities market down by nearly four percent today. After all, with a new Democratic administration heading to Washington, many investors wonder what is in store for the nation’s businesses.
What impact will rising taxes, stronger labor unions and increased regulations have on the country’s publicly traded corporations? Well, if today’s trading activity is any indication of what the future holds, we are in for a long road to recovery.
Some investors are taking this as an opportunity to look overseas.
India and the fairly limited impact the global economic crisis has played on the country has been a safe haven for some savvy investors. Even Australia is getting plenty of American investment dollars now that many of its mining stocks are dirt cheap.
While all of these investing notions are solid, international investors can do better. One region you should keep your eye on is Eastern Europe. There is a lot of political activity heating up in the area and smart investors will be able to take advantage of the action.
The fighting never stops
We all know Russia and Georgia are far from good friends right now. They are battling over many issues, but one undeniable fighting point is energy. Russia’s financial stability depends on selling oil and natural gas to its western neighbors at a premium.
But just like you and I do not like paying absurd amounts for our fuel, neither do countries like Georgia. That is why they are hurriedly trying to build out their own supplies. Countries like Turkey, Hungary, Georgia, and Kazakhstan are quickly realizing they are sitting on some very valuable energy reserves.
This does not make Russia happy.
But as investors, we need to look at this situation, not as a political mess, but as a great investing opportunity. Tiny, government-backed companies are about to be sitting on huge windfalls. The kind our new administration would love to tax… but can’t.
America may be getting a new administration that is not too happy with Wall Street, but that does not mean our days of successful investing our over. In fact, I believe there are more profit opportunities today than there were yesterday. You just have to know where to look.
My colleagues and I are currently researching and examining the situation in Eastern Europe. Look for our conclusions very soon. In the meantime, check out this report that tells you of three phenomenal investing opportunities. Shares will not be this cheap for long, so click here now.
