Chinese Pharma IPOs Could Make Early Investors Huge Profits
India is already renowned for being a pharmaceutical giant. But China could steal that crown within a decade. This could provide investors a ground-floor opportunity to make huge profits from IPOs, says Irwin Greenstein.
Why Russia Is Right to Consider a Golden Currency
The Mogambo Guru says the Russian media is on the right track in proposing the reintroduction of gold-backed currency. Bank in the US, the Fed and US Treasury are wasting hundreds of billions of dollars trying to ‘fix’ the financial crisis. This will cause the dollar to lose value over time. And if exporting economies like Russia start to dump the dollar for another currency or gold, the buck will be doomed…
How to Play the New Short-Selling Regulations in Asia
Trying to resolve the stock market crisis by banning short selling is like trying to cure cancer with a couple of aspirins, says emerging markets expert Irwin Greenstein.
But that’s what regulators around the world are doing, with little success.
Next in line for the ban is Hong Kong. So if you have money in hedge funds there, you could be in big trouble. China, meanwhile, is introducing short selling on its exchanges.
$189.7bn in Russian Funds Stalks ‘Fire Sale’ US Assets
Emerging markets expert Irwin Greenstein says two news stories circulating in Russia indicate Moscow is getting ready to buy up large amounts of distressed US assets. It could be a good time, too, for American investors to consider buying US stocks at bargain prices.
Look to Frontier Markets As US Turmoils Spreads
Global markets remain coupled to the US. The iShares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (NYSE:EFA) - an equity benchmark for international stock performance - is following the S&P 500 on its downward trajectory.

Why Brazil Is the Best of the BRICs
The turmoil in US stock markets is making all the headlines. But BRIC nations are facing a much deeper crisis in their stock markets.
On Monday, authorities halted trading on Brazil’s Bovespa for 30 minutes after it tumbled 10%. Trading in Russia was frozen on several occasions in the last two weeks to prevent an all-out collapse of the market. And China’s CSI Index has lost 58% of its value so far this year.
Despite recent setbacks, however, Andrew Gordon reckons Brazil is the most likely of the pack to weather the current financial storm
9 Potash Plays to Profit from Chinese Rural Reforms
Senior members of the Communist Party of China (CPC) will meet next month in Beijing to discuss reform and development in the rural areas, according to an article in today’s China Daily.
If the reforms that come out of the meeting are strong enough potash could see a major boost, according to emerging markets expert Irwin Greenstein.
Irwin says there are nine major potash players worth a look. Depending on the outcome of the CPC’s Beijing powwow, Potash could become one of the best indirect China plays out there.
Growing Resource Nationalism Threatens US Consumers
The increase of state-controlled resources is ulitmately bad news for American consumers, says Irwin Greenstein, writing for Contrarian Profits. Not only are state-run resource companies inefficient compared to private sector firms but also many of them are hostile to US interests.
3 Reasons to Invest Overseas in a Post-Bailout World
The biggest financial bailout in history hangs in the balance today as House Republicans and Democrats lock horns over the small print.
Keith Fitz-Gerald says the political posturing and wrangling over the plan distracts from the key financial issues. Can America afford a $700 billion rescue package?
Keith says investors need to understand three keys points. A bailout will cause national debt to climb, the US inflation rate to soar and the US dollar to tank. Bottom line: Investors need to go overseas for growth and profits in the foreseeable future.
Why Investors Can’t Trust China’s Foreign Investment Stats
The number of foreign-invested research and development centers in China has risen from about 700 in 2004 to more than 1,200 this year. This is a clear indicator that China is transforming from a low-cost manufacturer into a center of innovation, says emerging markets expert Irwin Greenstein.
