The Silk Road to Riches : How You Can Profit by Investing in Asia's Newfound Prosperity
Editorial Reviews
From the Back Cover
Asia is now the world’s #1 growth story. Farsighted investors will realize enormous profits by investing in companies that benefit from Asia’s historic transformation. In The Silk Road to Riches, a team of world-class financial analysts and newsletter editors point you to the right companies, the right sectors, and the right strategies.
You’ll learn how to leverage Asia’s accelerating integration into the world economy... profit from the pressure that Asia’s growth is placing on commodities and resources... anticipate changing needs of Asian consumers in financial services, health and pharmaceuticals, communications, and many other industries.
The authors offer powerful support for several provocative claims: that India, not China, is Asia’s best investment destination; that the price of gold is poised to explode; and much more. They illuminate global economic changes that will decide the fate of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency; and present an up-to-the-minute overview of crucial global security issues every investor must understand, no matter where they invest.
• Asia: this time, it’s for real
Huge population, demographic “sweet spot,” soaring consumption
• China & India: what to expect, where to invest
Projecting the future of the 21st century’s new economic powerhouses
• The coming geopolitical earthquake
America and the Russia-Iran-India-China axis: cooperation, competition, or conflict?
• Commodities: investing in an era of unprecedented demand
How Asia’s growth will drive prices for everything from energy to food
• The future of the U.S. currency–and the future of gold
How long can the dollar remain the world’s reserve currency?
“Finally, a highly readable book that combines serious macroeconomic and geopolitical analysis with some specific investment recommendations about how to profit from the emergence of Asia as the world’s largest and most powerful economic bloc. Having lived in Asia for more than thirty years, this book did strike a cord with my own views about the economic and financial changes, which are happening right now and will shape your and your children’s future.”
–Marc Faber, editor of the Gloom Boom & Doom Report and author of Tomorrow’s Gold
“There is no doubt change is coming. Whether it is just a cyclical upswing in Asia...or the beginning of the end for the West...only time will tell. Either way, investors are well-advised to read this book.”
–William Bonner, author together with Addison Wiggin of the New York Times best sellers Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt
“Anyone seeking a deeper understanding of financial markets and looking for guidance in developing strategies for their own gain would be well served by paying heed to this book.”
–John Dobosz, senior editor, Forbes Newsletter Group
“…a coherent, well-thought-out and far-sighted view of the emerging Asian nations and their likely role in the future world economy. The authors, some of today’s most imaginative and intellectually enterprising investment experts, weave a story that is both sweepingly bold but also rich in detailed investment ideas–a very rare combination.”
–Peter Brimelow, columnist, MarketWatch
“A must-read if you care about money and your financial future. Clear, forceful, and illuminating–highly recommended for those looking for answers to the mysteries of the future of the global financial markets!”
–George Kleinman, president, Commodity Resource Corp. and author of Trading Commodities and Financial Futures: A Step by Step Guide to Mastering the Markets
“Those looking for conventional thinking in The Silk Road to Riches are going to be disappointed. But those who are concerned with the big picture in these increasingly uncertain times–and more important, with where the real profit opportunities lie in an era of flat returns in the U.S.–will want to keep this book front and center on their bookshelves.”
–Roger S. Conrad, editor, Utility Forecaster, and author of Power Hungry: Strategic Investing in Telecommunications, Utilities, and Other Essential Services
