by Jim Powell, editor Global Changes & Opportunities Report An emerging nation that is starting to make exceptional progress is Mexico, but few U.S. investors have yet to notice. The country is undergoing a manufacturing revolution and already exports more products to the world than the rest of Latin America combined. For most investors, iShares MSCI Mexico Investible Market Index Fund ( EWW) is the best way to benefit from the Mexican transformación. It is our top pick for 2013.
Here is why Mexico is becoming so successful, and why I urge you to take a position to benefit from the country’s progress: - Few countries in the world have made a greater commitment to promoting trade than Mexico. The government signed free trade agreements with 44 other nations, which is more than twice as many as China and four times more than Brazil.
- Mexico shares a 2,000 mile border with the U.S. which gives the country a big advantage over its competitors. Although China can still make most products at a lower cost, the advantage usually disappears when transportation expenses are included.
- Mexico’s close proximity to its markets also means it can quickly respond to the changing needs of its customers.
- Mexico is in the same time zone as most of its customers; instead of waiting until the middle of the night or the next day to call a supplier in China or India, a U.S. customer can pick up the phone and do business right away with Mexico.
- Mexico also has a young, well-educated and energetic workforce. Over half the population is under 29. Both Japan and China have aging populations that won’t be able to support their high economic growth rates much longer.
The safest, most diversified way to share in the development of Mexico is to buy the iShares MSCI Mexico Investible Market Index Fund, an exchange-trade fund that holds positions in the country’s must successful companies.

Fidelity expert: Bowers' bond bets |
by Jack Bowers, editor Fidelity Monitor & Insight
If you’ve been worried that the bond market might take a big hit, you can relax. Indeed, while bond funds may lag stock funds over the next 5-10 years, they still have a decent shot at keeping up with inflation, and they remain an excellent way to cut risk in a blended portfolio.

by Jim Powell, editor Global Changes & Opportunities Report
With the death of Hugo Chavez in March, and Venezuela’s economic decline, the heavily subsidized oil lifeline is likely to be cut or sharply reduced. I think the resulting energy squeeze will force Cuba to allow greater foreign trade and investment.

by Jim Stack, editor Investech Market Analyst
In October 2011, we questioned the run-up in gold prices to $1,895 an ounce and called prices “bubblish”. We were criticized for not understanding the new paradigm.
