Mutual funds are the choice investment for many people. Some feel comfortable with the relative simplicity of mutual funds, having a manager (or an index) guide their investments and knowing that they are diversified. Many people are also forced to invest in mutual funds through your company’s retirement plan. I need to warn you, though, that most of the time mutual funds are not the most effective way to make your money from China’s growth. There are three important reasons why: Reason #1: China mutual funds tend to invest too much in state-owned enterprises. This isn’t actually limited to just mutual funds. Wall Street in general doesn’t get it. With only a few exceptions, SOEs are wealth destroyers, not wealth builders. Private businesses have taken market share away from inefficient SOEs. Most mutual funds (and Wall Street analysts) haven’t adjusted their strategies accordingly. Reason #2: China mutual funds do a poor job of managing risk. I’m as bullish as anybody on China over the long term, but it will not be smooth sailing all the way. No investment ever is, but it’s especially true of China — both because it’s still an emerging market and because you can never be sure what the government will do. Successfully profiting from China’s growth requires effective risk management. In other words, you can’t invest your money and forget about it, assuming it will grow with China’s economy. Unfortunately, that’s what most emerging market mutual funds do. They stay fully invested in their sectors at all times, so they take big hits when the hiccups come, as they invariably will. The truth is that most mutual funds simply do not know how to sell, and the resulting losses can be substantial. I stay on top of what’s happening in the streets of China, so we know long before most others where the trends are heading. And I’m not afraid to sell a stock when I see risks of any kind — internal, external or valuation. This is not only the downfall of many mutual funds, but of a lot of individual investors as well. I don’t want to see that happen to you. Reason #3: Most China mutual funds focus too narrowly on Chinese companies. The China Miracle is a worldwide phenomenon, so you’re hurting your returns if you limit yourself to Chinese companies. Take commodities for instance. Chinese demand has driven up prices all over the world, so mining companies everywhere benefit. State-owned companies in China are not as well-managed as most other mining companies, so looking for your profits there is a big mistake.

If you never saw the PBS program ‘How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin,’ you have to watch it; it has been appearing fairly regularly on the network. It shows how the Beatles had a major influence on the fall of communism in the USSR during the early sixties, and how Beatlemania lead to entrepreneurship, free enterprise, capitalism, and free thinking. You can see the preview in the YouTube video below. The Beatles are considered to be one of the most successful popular music bands in history, and the band’s four members, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr can be recited by music fans of all ages. So is there a way for an investor to jump on this bandstand? Apple (AAPL) television commercials have been appearing since November 16, announcing that Beatles music is now available through the company’s iTunes Store, playable on iPods, iPhones, and numerous other devices. So Apple, the very successful debt free company, would be the primary way of playing the Beatles market. The stock trades at 14 times forward earnings and reported a 70% boost in quarterly earnings on a 67% rise in revenues. The company has an incredible $25.62 billion in cash, which works out to almost $28 in cash per share. Analysts seem to favor the stock. Ticonderoga and Jeffries recently initiated coverage on the company, giving it a Buy rating, and Robert W. Baird, which also just initiated covered last month, gave it an Outperform rating. Investors could also look at some of the Apple product component manufacturers, such as Samsung Electronics (SSNLF.PK), which makes flash memory chips and applications processors, Toshiba Corp. (TOSBF.PK) which makes iPod hard drives, and Liquidmetal Technologies Inc. (LQMT.OB), a developer of amorphous metals which have been used in some iPhones and which owned numerous patents that Apple purchased the exclusive licenses to. Samsung trades at 14 times forward earnings and reported an 83% increased in earnings for the quarter ending June 30, on a revenue increase of over 16%. Toshiba sports a price to earnings ratio of 30. The company reported an enormous 29,000% increase in quarterly earnings on a 3% increase in revenues for the quarter ending September 30. Liquidmetal just reported earnings yesterday, announcing a 686% increase in revenues over the prior quarter. However, the company generated a net loss of 23 cents per share for the quarter. In regards to the Beatles music catalog, which featured nearly every song written by John Lennon and Paul McCartney until the Beatles broke up in 1970, a series of owners have been involved including Michael Jackson. Jackson purchased the catalog for $47.5 million back in 1985. Ten years later, Sony (SNE) offered Jackson $90 million for half ownership of ATV Music Publishing, the holding company for the songs. The catalog is now owned by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, which is 50% owned by the Michael Jackson Family Trust and 50% owned by Sony. Sony has the right to buy out the Jackson portion at any time for $250 million. Sony/ATV receives as much as $45 million per year from Beatles songs. Sony’s share, at $22.5 million, represents about 2.4% of Sony’s income. Sony has a forward PE ratio of 20. Latest quarterly revenues were of 4.3% and earnings were 94 cents per share versus a loss during the same period last year. The company has about $16 in cash per share. Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, the two surviving members of the band, recorded a song together ‘Walk with You’ which is the lead single from Starr’s most recent album ‘Y Not,’ distributed by Universal Music Group, a division of Vivendi (VIVDY.PK), the digital media company based in France. Vivendi also owns Mercury records, the United Kingdom distributor of McCartney’s album ‘Good Evening New York City.’ The stock has a PE of 36, and reported an 8.5% increase in sales but a 38% drop in earnings. Interestingly, the US distributor of ‘Good Evening New York City’ and McCartney’s 21st studio album ‘Memory Almost Full,’ is distributed by Hear Music, owned by Starbucks (SBUX), the largest coffeehouse chain in the world. The stock trades at 26 times earnings and sports a yield of 1.6%. Earnings for the latest quarter were up 86% on a 17% rise in revenues. Of course, the ticket sellers are benefiting from McCartney concerts. As a matter of fact, fans crashed the Ticketmaster servers due to huge demand for McCartney’s Mexico City concert in May of this year. Ticketmaster is owned by the worldwide concert promoter Live Nation Entertainment, Inc. (LYV). Live Nation has a forward PE of 285.5 and reported a 2.3% increase in quarterly sales but a 26% drop in earnings for the quarter.

Index trending in the market was green across the board as of yesterday’s close of the U.S. trading session. Stocks closed at two year highs Thursday due in part to positive reports stemming from the housing and jobs sectors. Precious metals fell into the red however. Price per ounce for gold, silver, platinum and copper were all lower by the end of day close. The dollar lost strength to the euro, the Japanese yen and the British pound but precious metals continued to trail off. Investors chose to look at the positive reports from the Labor Department and the Commerce Department, and thus safe haven interest was lower. The Department of Labor reported that the number of people filing for initial unemployment benefits fell from 423,000 to 420,000 in the latest week. In addition, the Commerce Department reported that new private home starts rose higher than anticipated by analysts with an increase of 3.9% above the revised October figures. By end of day close, Gold Futures for February delivery were down by $15.20 and settled at $1,371 an ounce. Silver for March contract delivery fell 1.61% and finished the day at $28.78 an ounce. Platinum was in the red by .34% and ended the day lower at $1,698.60 an ounce. Copper per ounce finished in the red by .40% at $4.12. Author: Camillo Zucari
FedEx Corporation (NYSE: FDX ) promised to deliver, and both the Dow Industrials and S&P 500 responded with new two-year closing highs. And the Philadelphia Federal Reserve Bank helped push prices higher with a generally optimistic economic report. In corporate news, FDX rose 2% despite missing its quarterly revenue and earnings forecast. But the company raised its annual earnings forecast to $5 – $5.30 a share for 2011, up from analysts’ consensus of $5.20, and said that the global economy was healthy, as well. United Parcel Service, Inc. (NYSE: UPS ) responded to its chief competitor’s optimism by gaining 2.09%. But MasterCard Incorporated (NYSE: MA ) fell 10.32% and Visa Inc. (NYSE: V ) lost 12.67% as a result of the Fed’s proposed change in rules that would cap debit card “swipe fees” to 12 cents per transaction. General Mills, Inc. (NYSE: GIS ) rose a fraction following a positive quarter, but profit margins fell as a result of higher commodity costs. Pier 1 Imports, Inc. (NYSE: PIR ) fell 2.3% after missing analysts’ Q3 estimates. In economic news, the Philly Fed said that its index of general business activity had its best month since April 2005, but the employment index indicated that hiring had slowed and that inflationary pressures are increasing. It went on to say that “the percentage of firms indicating that their costs would be higher in 2011 was greater than the percentage reporting that their costs would be lower.” And it added that employee benefit costs are expected to rise by 8.6%, wages by 2.1%, and other related costs by 2.3%. Treasury bonds rose with the 10-year note at a yield of 3.475% and the 30-year at 4.58%. The euro rose slightly as the markets awaited the results of a European Union summit called to provide a permanent solution to Europe’s debt crisis.
