"Investing in China is about picking the right segments of the economy and the companies that will make it for the long haul," notes Neil George.
In Personal Finance, the advisor explains, "Our strategy for investing involves sticking to a handful of core strategic areas, where we've picked a collection of stocks in key industries." Here, he looks at some favorite ideas.
"The Chinese economy is large, amounting to approximately $3.6 trillion annually, and it's expanding at a rate of 10%.
"Industrial production, the heart of the economy, is gaining at a rate of 16.3% a year and is keeping a tra
Eoin Treacy of Fullermoney says that as commodities prices weaken, you need to look carefully before investing.
Q. Eoin, I've read that China's annual consumption of copper has declined from a 28.66% growth rate to 2.4%. What does that mean for continued growth in China and also for the global copper market?
A. China and indeed much of Asia and the Middle East are in a generational-long period where they have to build infrastructure from the ground...
Over the next several years, as emerging economies continue to grow and developed economies (hopefully) get back on track, demand for oil should continue to rise. Frontline, Ltd. (FRO) and Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG) are two of the largest crude tanker operators in the world. Both companies have bright futures, but now may not be the best time to buy their shares.
I bought FRO at $33.60 on 12/0706 and sold at $67 on 07/01/08. I missed the high of $71.76, but I’ll take a 97% run. Since I sold, I have been watching this stock carefully. I am currently bearish on FRO because I see a typical “Head and Shoulders” pattern in the chart from June to July. The beginning of this pattern was achieved on 06/09/08 at $66.31. Sellers came in at this high (left shoulder), pushed the stock down and created the beginning of the neckline on 06/11/08 at $61.24. Buyers then pushed the stock back up to create a new high (head) of $71.76 on 06/23/08. Soon after, the sell

"Frontline Ltd. (NYSE: FRO) is the 'mac daddy' of the oil transport business," says growth and income expert Bryan Perry, who has added the shares to the model portfolio of his 25% Cash Machine.
"Frontline is doing a much better job of executing profits in the current market for transporting crude oil. FRO posted first quarter results that showed a jump in profits of 40%, with a dividend hiked to $2.75 for the quarter. That translates into a current annual yield of 18.25%. Even better, the company forecasts continued strength in operat
If you're interested in a more conservative portfolio - one that provides an excellent yield (this one currently has 8.4%) and has a little growth potential - here's a starting point to start to put a diversified portfolio together. I'll be adding more candidates to the list in the future.
Readers of this space know that one of the preferred sectors is oil/oil services. Given oil's importance in a growing global economy, oil and oil services companies are likely to continue to experience steady demand for their services/products. And with the above in mind, Frontline Ltd. is worth an evaluation.
Frontline Ltd. (NYSE: FRO) operates about 75 tankers, under primarily short-term contracts, with a total capacity of more than 18.5 million deadweight tons.
FRO's tankers are designed to transport oil, and, as a result of their size, transport the world's most ...
The dry bulk shipping industry is off to the races and it is time to take a ride. These high beta stocks move all over the place based on shipping rates and fueled by demand in Asia.<!----> Many also have beautiful dividends. If you don't mind taking motion sickness pills, this group can be highly rewarding.
Frontline (FRO) is a stock I first started watching about three years ago. It seems as though this sector has gone through quite a change due to increased demand overseas for metals and agricultural products. As of the news yesterday I have gotten very bullish on those that operate oi
Here is another excellent dividend payer that has been a consistent money earner. In the near term it looks like oil will continue to be in high demand so the guys who transport it will be as well. This stock falls with the dividend payment and makes up the lost ground in the next few months so now is a good time to get in.
First found out about this last year when I searched for stocks with high dividends. Saw the good fundamentals and saw it was dropping, and kept dropping...... Waiting for it to reach it's nadir. Finally bought it when it started to move up, and got a piece of the dividends. That was around the beginning of the year. Kept staying with it until the drop in March when it autosold. Bought it for me and my missus and waiting for it to drop again, but it's still moving up.
