Buy China Stocks to Play the Boom
It is surprising with how long the Chinese economy has taken to strengthen to its current position. Indeed, it could be argued that China, as an economy and therefore an investment opportunity, has simply been treading water for the last two decades. As growth explodes now however; rich pickings are available for those with money to invest in China.
Growth has been most noticeable in several key areas. Most noticeably for the early protagonists that chose to invest in China, is in clothing. Always a sound investment, consumers in the western world are both in need of, and in desire of clothes; male and female alike. Computers too are popular and, to a lesser degree, furniture.
Conversely, (and possibly the best market to consider when looking at viable opportunities to invest in China), is within the toy industry. The culture of the western world to pander to its offspring shows no signs of abating any time soon. That the most popular toys can be produced in high numbers, at low cost makes for a great investment.
Many other opportunities to invest in China are out there and clearly signposted. For example, China is second only to the US in its consumption of oil; whilst being both the biggest consumer and producer of coal. Indeed, investment in this sector is booming despite the global collective towards environmental concerns.
Assisted by the awarding of contracts to tenders from the west, an area already ripe and only ripening further is to be found in the national railway infrastructure, operations and rolling stock. Whilst not the most environmentally focused of countries, China does at least realize the potential of railway travel for its immense populous.
Before you invest in China, a word to the wise; do be prepared to take a major hit occasionally. Emerging markets are notorious for their volatility and vulnerability. Whilst recovery continues, China are still reeling from a 65% stock market loss at the end of 2008; indicative of how the global economy is having an effect in even growing markets. - 23221
