The Swiss Exchange (SWX) is a highly sought stock market during the current global phase of bearish sentiment. Though even Tokyo, London and New York have not escaped the sentimental back lash of downturns in emerging markets such as Brazil and India, Switzerland stands apart as a sentinel of value. Strict self-regulation, impartial Swiss law and deployment of the latest digital technologies, combine to make the SWX a top destination for global funds. SWX members have eminent professional resources, represent a diversified basket of top brands and are relatively insulated from global downturns.
Every stock market loves shipping, automobiles and electronics. The world cannot do without them, and companies with strong brands in these sectors are always good long term investments. However, it is not the United States alone which excels in these lines of business. One of the most exciting countries to watch for heavy industry, consumer durables and electronics is South Korea. Companies from this most progressive nation exhibit a rare combination of technological prowess and market aggression.
The stock market is rudimentary, relatively new, and small as well by international standards. The country has only just begun to recover from years of strife and has a virtually stagnant and relatively small GDP. A majority of the people are poor in comparison to their regional peers. It seems to make sense that no American company has listed on the Beirut Stock Exchange as of June 2006, but on deeper reflection it may appear that we are about to miss the boat!
The stock market scene during the second half of 2006 may not be as bright and bullish as the last 12 months have been. This could be a good time to pick up stocks of companies which are undervalued by the stock market community as a whole. It is common knowledge that irrational sentiment and herd mentality drive stock market values when the macro economic outlook is hazy, and this tarring of all equities with one brush has the makings of an exciting treasure hunt!
Commodities should form an integral part of every stock market portfolio. Demand for them is relatively stable, because of which they provide steady returns over time. Most of them go through cycles of supply-demand balances, so it helps if one can invest in them during an opportune period. However, most of them will not let down patient investors and those on the stock market for the long term.
