The Country to Buy Now

Worst Atrocity Since Hiroshima: Shockwave About to Hit

James Dale Davidson is back – once again – with another portfolio-rattling exposé. His last exposé helped lead to six Congressional hearings... and blew major holes in America's big media monopolies. Now he is about to do it again, but this time on a story so polarizing, it will make the Watergate's of the past - read like back-page fodder. What's more, the implications it will have on almost every investment you own... promise to be as equally dramatic...

Islands of Strength
in a Scary World

Sean Brodrick, Resource Strategist, The Oxford Club


Sean Brodrick Boy, the world is a scary place, lately. Russia beating up Ukraine... the Ebola virus running wild in Africa... Israel and Hamas trading missiles... what a mess! It's hard to find a safe place to invest.

But let me tell you about some islands of strength you might have overlooked.

Take a gander at a weekly chart of the iShares MSCI Philippines (NYSE: EPHE).


Clearly, this ETF is breaking out. I think it could see another 44% upside.

To be sure, the Philippines isn't the only foreign market that is doing well. Just as The Oxford Club's Alexander Green predicted, emerging market stocks have clearly outperformed the developed and global world so far this year. You can see economic growth and market gains in Thailand, India, Brazil, Turkey and Taiwan, among others.

But the Philippines is one of my top picks. Here are the six forces driving this move:

  1. More foreign direct investment. FDI inflows into the Philippines rose by 20% last year, reaching $3.9 billion.

    And FDI inflows into the Philippines jumped another 9% in the first four months of this year. And it could be about to accelerate because...
The Death of Cable TV


In the months ahead, one company is going to "kill the industry as we know it."

We call its radical new invention "NuCable" and it's going to change ALL of our lives.

It's all set to go down... and early investors could easily TRIPLE their money!

  1. Banking laws are changing. The government recently passed a new law that allows up to 100% foreign ownership of Philippine banks. Recently, leading banks from Japan to Malaysia expressed interest in taking a stake in the Philippine banking sector. That should bring even more foreign money into the country.
  1. The economy is growing nicely. The Philippine economy grew by 5.7% in the first quarter of 2014. And that followed a 7.2% jump in 2013. That's faster than any of the world's major emerging economies - the so-called BRICS countries of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa - except China. The Philippines is the third-fastest growing economy in Asia after China and Malaysia.

    The country is still rebuilding from two natural disasters last year: a major earthquake in October, then a typhoon the next month. Both these events weighed on economic growth in the first quarter. But now, rebuilding is actually adding to economic growth. Recently, the government said it was on target to meet economic growth of up to 7.5% for 2014.
  1. Consumer confidence is soaring. In the latest measure, it rose four points to 120. This is largely driven by a strong economy and its growing middle class. A whopping 80% of consumers in the Philippines perceive the state of their personal finances over the next 12 months as good or excellent.
  1. IT is booming. More and more U.S. businesses are outsourcing their call centers to the Philippines. That's because the country has a lot of well-educated English speakers.
  1. There's plenty of more potential. Along with its people, the Philippines has other resources: timber, energy, nickel, cobalt, gold, silver and copper. Some of these are being developed; many are still waiting for their big opportunities. And that could be very exciting indeed.
Bottom line: I believe the Philippines has a bright future. And it's one you should take a look at.

Good investing,

Sean
