European Wasteland…

Yellen Drives the Search for Greener Pastures By Jocelynn Smith, Sr. Managing Editor Russia and Greece have not destroyed Europe. I know that might be a little hard to believe considering the financial media's non-stop coverage of the impact of Russia's sanctions on EU members and then Greece's slow death spiral as it fought for financial assistance while at the same time thumbing its nose at those who would help the debt-riddled country. But don't let these drama queens chase you away from opportunities in Europe. Spain is a shining star as it benefits from the European Central Bank's quantitative easing program and low energy prices. Second-quarter GDP grew 1%, following first-quarter growth of 0.9%. Unemployment has dropped from its 26.3% high in early 2013 to 22.5% — yes, it's still high but steadily improving. Germany factory orders in June rose 2% and are up 7.2% from the same time period a year ago. Export orders in June jumped 4.8%. In fact, business confidence increased in July and economists predict growth of 0.5% in the second quarter. And as you can see in the table below, Spain and Germany aren't the only ones exhibiting some significant economic growth. By contrast, the U.S. market is facing a Fed hell-bent on raising interest rates, which will only help to strengthen the dollar, leading to slower business growth. Not an enticing picture for Wall Street at all. We're looking at some rocky times ahead, regardless of whether Yellen & Co. lift rates in September or early 2016, and there are far better places to stash your money than in the U.S. market. And Europe is looking like a pretty good choice. The global market is poised for a significant shift with that first interest-rate hike and there are several opportunities that will spring up for nimble investors. To learn what steps you can take to get ahead of the Fed, check out the Total Wealth Symposium in October. But you've got to act now.
