Investment is our hard earned money which we invest to multiply our money and to increase the value of our investment.

You might have noticed that in the last 18 to 24 months your portfolio has been pounded into a pulp. If that is the case, it might well be time to consider any opportunities you might get a little further away from home. In particular, I refer to the Asian markets as a very interesting option as of now. Most American investors are so used to the Dow Jones, the S&P and the NASDAQ that they barely look beyond our own shores. But what of the Shanghai Stock Exchange, the Shenzhen Stock Exchange or the Mumbai Stock Exchange? These are all burgeoning stock markets and the home of some of the most vibrant economies in the world at this moment in time. Take China, for instance. It is one of the few large-scale economies in the world that is still galloping along merrily even in the face of a global [...]

The dollar value is falling, and as that happens, currency conflicts are on the rise. Nations with fast-growing economies are attempting to devalue the exchange rate in order to offer some succor to their exporters that drive on the growth. The dollar is already weak, but policy makers are already implementing measures that will further erode the value of the dollar. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the European powers that be are worried that a resurgent Euro will weaken their own prospects for growth. And as if concerns in the Western sphere aren’t enough, you’ve got everyone lambasting China for their currency manipulation and urging them to allow the playing field to level out instead of skewing it as they are. The problem is Beijing is just not willing to allow that to happen. As [...]

If you look at the world economy as a whole, you’d be forgiven for mistakenly believing that the economic recovery of the world is in full swing. The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicted earlier this week that the global economy should expand by 4.8% in terms of GDP. While this figure is lower than that which was in place before the financial crisis hit all of us badly, it is still above the figure that you would expect it to be if there indeed to be a rebound from a recession (that figure is 4%, just FYI). But to just sit comfortably by and say that the economy is well and truly underway is wrong. There are still a set of problems that are lurking just below the surface and then there is the fact that you have to consider the vitality of disparate economies. Many emerging economies [...]

It is no secret that Japan’s economy has for long been a troubled one, and it has been doing everything it could to deal with its own travails. As if all of its issues weren’t enough, it now has to also look at the Yen and its strength and contend with that issue, one that has been brought on by a very loose monetary policy. For long, Japan has not intervened in its currency matters, but it has finally broken convention and decided to act upon pressing issues, taking matters into its own hands. On October 5th, the Bank of Japan (BoJ) stepped in and did what it had to in order to spur on a troubled economy, but it might not be enough to inspire confidence and fend off criticism. It is this sentiment that has seemingly forced or inspired Japanese politicians to offer legislation as option [...]
