Brought to you by Cabot China & Emerging Markets Report
In this week’s video, Paul Goodwin, Chief analyst of Cabot China & Emerging Markets Report, looks at the U.S. markets that are hanging around their highs, but can’t quite break out. It’s still a time to lean bullish and have some money at work in growth stocks, but not a time to go all in. Cleaning up your portfolio to kick out losers and laggards and generate some cash for future buys is also a good idea. Paul gives a number of stocks that are well set up for buying, either right now or on breakouts. Paul also shows a few great charts from Chinese stocks that are definitely in breakout mode.

Double Your Money with Cabot China & Emerging Markets Report
Dear Fellow Investor,
When I’m talking to people about investing in emerging market stocks, I’m always aware that I have two choices. The first is to spout statistics:
* About China’s 1.3 billion people
* The build-out of Internet access
* The rising power of the Chinese consumer
* The country’s decade of double-digit economic growth
* Colossal investment in infrastructure.
There’s no doubt that these are impressive factors, and they certainly point to a national economy that’s in high gear. But I don’t think they tell the whole story.
If a growing economy automatically produced stock market gains, an investor’s job would be very simple. You could just buy an ETF for that country and watch the money roll in.
But stock markets are too complex to reward that strategy, as investors are always looking ahead by six months or so. And just drawing a straight line that extends the current trend is almost sure to miss the mark.
As the emerging markets develop, their economies often rocket ahead, lifted by industrialization, urbanization, entrepreneurship and foreign direct investment.
And the stocks of the companies doing business in these countries can blast off right along with them. This is what investors in Baidu (BIDU), China Mobile (CHL) and Ctrip.com (CTRP) found out a few years ago.
That’s when Cabot China & Emerging Markets Report beat all investment advisories hands-down, doubling readers’ retirement money four times in seven years.
Just last year:…
Our top auto stock was up 127% in four months.
Our top entertainment stock was up 113% in 10 months.
Our top Internet stock was up 106% in six months.
Our top social networking stock was up 115% in five months.
And our China stocks continue to out perform the market!
Our instant messaging stock is up 25% in three months.
Our Amazon-like online retail stock is up 36% in three months.
Our flash sale online retail stock is up 35% in two months.
Our online games stock is up 23% in one month.
All while our entire portfolio is up 42% since the beginning of the year!
Sincerely,
Paul Goodwin
