Global Stock Investor Hotline 70

Nicholas Vardy

Nicholas Vardy has a unique background that has proven his knack for making money in different markets around the world.

Well, if you wanted to know the world’s reaction to the Republican victories in the U.S. elections, you need not look further than Asian markets overnight. Markets there rallied sharply on the news of the Republicans’ takeover of the House of Representatives.

The European press already has the knives out for Obama, who London’s Financial Times this morning called “a shooting star who briefly lit the sky before crashing.”

The big news in your Global Stock Investor portfolio was from JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (JKS), which soared 26.2% this past week, as it blew past already optimistic earnings estimates.

Global markets are attracting ever more attention, as even permabears like Nouriel Roubini are predicting that the liquidity-driven party in global markets could go on into next year. Former Morgan Stanley chief strategist Barton Biggs was even more optimistic, saying that emerging markets could double from their current levels. Given current valuations and growth prospects in emerging markets, that forecast does not sound as crazy as it first may seem.

In any case, it was yet another week of record or 52-week highs for your Global Stock Investor portfolio. These include JinkoSolar Holding Co., Ltd. (JKS), the iShares MSCI Singapore Index (EWS), the CurrencyShares Japanese Yen Trust (FXY), the iShares MSCI Malaysia Index (EWM), the Claymore/BNY Mellon Frontier Markets (FRN) and the iShares MSCI Taiwan Index (EWT).

I continue to expect your Global Stock Investor portfolio to perform strongly for the rest of the year, as the traditional Q4 rally advances.
