Alexander Green Chief Investment Strategist Homebuilder Stocks Ready to Soar During the housing bubble a few years ago, I editorialized repeatedly that the whole affair was likely to end badly for speculators, mortgage companies and - not least of all - homebuilders. It wasn't just a lucky call. There were plenty of intelligent, sober-minded people in the real estate brokerage, mortgage and homebuilding industries telling anyone willing to listen that the fundamentals were unsustainable and the craziness couldn't last. They were right. But now these same insiders are telling me just the opposite. The housing market is not just coming out of its slump. It is snapping back fast.

With 6.6 million square miles inside its borders, it is the world's largest sovereign landmass. Giant companies such as Lukoil dominate the Russian economic landscape. The big bosses in Moscow control these behemoths. Right now, the Kremlin is struggling with political uncertainty, rampant corruption, weak productivity and falling energy prices, all of which have hammered Russian economic growth. The country's GDP numbers for February showed growth of just 0.1%. So why in the world would anyone in their right mind invest in Russia right now?

Hats off to the Marcellus. A recent report issued by research company IHS claims gas production from the Marcellus shale formation is now 7.4 billion cubic feet per day (bcf/d). The Marcellus surpassed the Haynesville formation to garner its position as the country's highest producer. But the best days are still ahead for the Marcellus. Marcellus shale output could reach 21 bcf/d by 2020. In a moment, I'm going to tell you about two undervalued natural gas producers working in the Marcellus region that stand to make a killing from this upcoming Marcellus natural gas boom. But first... a question.

This is the strongest bull market in the developed world right now. Yet most American investors are missing it entirely. Don't be one of them. This is likely the beginning of a major bull market with plenty of room to run. Let me explain why and give you three great ways to play it. Let's start with valuations. Japanese stocks are cheap. If the Nikkei 225 doubled it would still be cheaper than the S&P 500 on a price-to-book value basis. The trend is your friend here...
