Booming Middle Class

Jeff Manera, July 14, 2008

Problems in the financial sector are still pulling down the markets, and this past week was no exception. The biggest financial story right now is the sell-off in Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae shares. The stocks have both dropped dramatically as speculation spread about the companies needing additional funding.

While this situation seems dire, I think it is important for us, especially as international investors, to remember that the Fannie/Freddie debacle is a U.S. problem. You see, It only affects us as international investors in the short-run since the U.S. market still affects global markets to varying degrees. And past the very short term, this situation means little to us, and will not affect our investment strategy going forward.

While financial issues, as well as other problems like high oil prices, are weighing down the markets, I think that is gives us another reason to keep our focus on the emerging markets. We can't let ourselves get caught up in the domestic market's wild actions, because in emerging markets, there is a ton of opportunity. There is far more upside than downside because the strength of the growing middle classes in these economies.

In my G³ Global Options service, I am currently recommending a company that is profiotting from the Brazilian housing boom. You see, as middle classes grow, so does their desire to buy their own homes. And this is a trend that has grown in recent years, helping to fuel the Brazilian housing market.

That's where my recommended company comes in. I think it's the best way to profit from the explosion in housing in Brazil is in the homebuilding sector. The company has been in operation for five decades and completed close to 1000 commercial and residential projects. And it has a ton of buildable land in its inventory ready for development, and a good number of projects already under construction. It's a top choice for people who need to build a new home, and I think we will profit nicely from its growth.

As you can see, this company is set to profit from the growing demand for new homes by the Brazilian middle class. So to find out more about this company and make profits even when the U.S. markets are swinging wildly, visit the G³ Global Options website today.
