• Which Stocks Can Foreigners Own? (Part 1) - Editor, 15 October 2007 - No Comments yet

Foreign participation in Exchanges is an evolving matter in the brave new world of global ownership of stocks. All countries have to be careful to keep out terrorist funds from their stock markets, but some also express nationalist and protectionist aspirations in the process of restricting foreign ownership and trading in their stocks. Globalization of trade and commerce can scarcely be complete unless international investors are given a free hand, and there needs to be long term stability in cornerstone policies as well, to prevent shocks such as experienced recently with respect to Venezuelan oil assets.

Political Considerations for Stocks

Politics is not a traditional domain for the best investors, but top values for stocks are no longer isolated from international developments. Former communist powers are notorious for using economic means to further their global power interests. Defense has always been big business, but highly centralized economies are especially susceptible to State manipulations. Russia, China, and India, are some important countries for the business world, where communism in various hues has strong and widespread roots.

• Canadian Gems as Stocks (Part 1) - Editor, 12 October 2007 - No Comments yet

Canada and South Africa may be literally poles apart, but they have common stocks in one important though relatively unknown aspect: the abundance of natural diamond deposits. South Africa has been a traditional source for these widely coveted gems, but it is Canada that has made the most admirable strides in recent discoveries and new commercial production.

Second Thoughts about These Stocks

Investors have traditionally preferred stocks of companies with kimberlitic diamond mines to those which work alluvial deposits. This is because we prefer to put our monies on firm reserves and since alluvial working has something non-industrial about it.

Why do stocks of companies with the best copper mines represent such durable values? Which metal can compete with copper in terms of versatility and longevity? Artisans, chemists, and engineers show rare unity in their clamor for this timeless metal, which has been by our side ever since the dawn of civilization. Energy transmission and electronic communication systems ensure that modernity will not diminish the demand for copper in any way. Scientists are hard at work to leverage the remarkable physical and chemical properties of copper even further, so any company with mines can rest assured as far as demand for its product is concerned. Stability of demand is a principal driver of all stocks with long term holding potentials.

Why Ivanhoe Stocks Top the Sector

A fictional name from 19th century English fictional literature is misleading for one of the most exciting copper stocks available on NASDAQ, the New York Stock Exchange and in Toronto. Ivanhoe Mines is substantially owned by Rio

Tinto, the world’s leader of the mining sector. The company has copper and gold reserves stretching all the way from Mongolia to Australia, with other properties as well. The Mongolian asset is especially important from the stocks perspective, for it could yield dramatic profits for almost half a century. The Rio Tinto acquisition has made Ivanhoe flush with cash for investments in top grade mining equipment and technologies.
