Whether you’re trying to invest profitably in the region here, or are just trying to understand what’s going on, there’s a single secret that will virtually guarantee your long-term success.

Got an email from an old friend today who just returned from a trip to China. It was a trip on which a group of investors had face-to-face sessions with some Chinese companies I arranged for them to meet. Also on the trip was a guru from a newer publication that pretends it competes with my Asia Business & Investing newsletter.

‘Chimerica’ stocks and how to profit from companies that do their business in China has been creating a huge amount of buzz on the internet since investment guru Tom Dyson at Daily Wealth started to write about the subject.

“Chimerica stocks are Chinese companies,” says Tom. “They do business in China, with Chinese management, Chinese employees, and Chinese currency. They make products for Chinese consumers.

The key is that these Chinese companies list on US stock exchanges.

It’s the highest price ever paid for a single lot of wine, reports Reuters.

The buyer? An anonymous Chinese billionaire.

According to the report: “The anonymous Chinese entrepreneur bought a mix of vintages of Romanee Conti, a Burgundy wine and considered to be among the world’s most exclusive with only 450 cases produced each year.”

China is booming, despite the recent sell-off of Chinese stocks, but how do US investors profit from the China story without getting burnt?
