We’re in the midst of the greatest investing boom in almost 60 years. And rest assured - this boom is not about to end anytime soon.You see, the “flattening of the world” continues to spawn new markets worth trillions of dollars; new customers that measure in the billions; an insatiable global demand for basic resources that’s growing exponentially ; and a technological revolution even in the most distant markets on the planet.
The bottom line is this: With U.S. influence slipping, and the dollar declining as well, investors who think too narrowly about this transformation will face years of meager returns. But those who embrace this new global reality can make themselves very wealthy.
Over the next 25 years, America’s share of the worldwide economic pie will slip from 28% to 24%…
Even as Asia’s share almost doubles ;which means it will account for a whopping 55% of the global economy by 2030.The big brokerage firms are making a killing on the global boom. Yet Wall Street reserves the timeliest information - and the best profit opportunities - for its partners or wealthiest clients. And the Securities and Exchange Commission doesn’t help the everyday investor much either. The second sad fact is this: While you can buy any U.S. or Canadian stock you want, the SEC prohibits you from purchasing many of the available international stocks.The reason: Foreign companies that haven’t registered with the SEC are off-limits to most U.S. individual investors.
