This Week’s Sovereign Investor Wrap Up
Here are the highlights from this week’s Sovereign Investor articles…Monday, July 18th – A Cheap Way to Invest in China’s Future
Monday’s message from Andy Hecht, Editor of Trade Hunter, was clear: follow China in business. When she buys commodities, you should buy them too. But climbing into commodities at current prices can be limiting. So Andy found a company that allows you to participate in China’s growth story and its effects on commodities while paying only a fraction of the price for the pleasure.
Tuesday, July 19th – Why FATCA is Bad News and What to do About it
It is not often that the IRS bows to reason and changes its collective mind on a given tax enforcement issue, even a little bit. Last week, in one of those rare instances, the IRS announced that the original January 1, 2013 effective date for the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA) has been dropped and a new deadline set for 2014/15. While this is a small reprieve, FATCA remains detrimental to the U.S. economy. On Tuesday, Bob Bauman JD, Chairman of the Freedom Alliance, explained what this law means for offshore investors.
Wednesday, July 20th – How to Make a Killing in the Yen
An overly strong currency can destroy an economy. Its major export goods begin to look “expensive” to the rest of the world and once-loyal customers begin to shop around for cheaper goods. Businesses start to slow down. Companies lay off workers. Unemployment levels rise. And the country’s overall growth dwindles. So there’s a lot riding on export-strong countries to keep their exchange rates in-line and under control. Sometimes this means the government must intervene to force the currency into a weaker position. This is what’s about to happen in Japan right now, as Sean Hyman, Editor of Currency Cross Trader, showed on Wednesday. As soon as it does, you get to make some serious profits. Sean has the details.
Thursday, July 21st – Why a Home-Country Bias Can Kill Your Portfolio
Most investors have a natural tendency to be most attracted to investments in their domestic market. It’s called a home-country bias. It often results in your missing out on the best opportunities out there. So Evaldo Albuquerque, editor of Exotic FX Alert, developed a simple plan to help you beat this challenge. Read all about it here.
Friday, July 22nd – The Wrong Way to Gain Global Growth Exposure
Multinationals are easy to understand because they print their financial information in English. They’re easy to buy through U.S.-based brokerage firms. They’re priced in and pay dividends in U.S. dollars. They’re also overseen by the Securities and Exchange Commission. Best of all, they earn a meaningful portion of their revenues in foreign markets. Conventional wisdom thus insists that the multinationals are the smartest way to gain exposure to overseas markets. As far as Jeff D. Opdyke, Editor of Global Growth Strategist, is concerned, conventional wisdom in this case is wrong. Yesterday, he explained the right way to gain global growth exposure.
Until next week… stay sovereign,

Jeff’s debunking of the multinational myth yesterday is just one step in the strategy he has developed to help you gain true global growth exposure that could actually hand you triple-digit gains over the next few years. For details of all the other steps, and how to implement them, watch this video.
