Asia is now the world’s #1 growth story. Farsighted investors will realize enormous profits by investing in companies that benefit from Asia’s historic transformation. In The Silk Road to Riches, a team of world-class financial analysts and newsletter editors point you to the right companies, the right sectors, and the right strategies.
You’ll learn how to leverage Asia’s accelerating integration into the world economy... profit from the pressure that Asia’s growth is placing on commodities and resources... anticipate changing needs of Asian consumers in financial services, health and pharmaceuticals, communications, and many other industries.
The authors offer powerful support for several provocative claims: that India, not China, is Asia’s best investment destination; that the price of gold is poised to explode; and much more. They illuminate global economic changes that will decide the fate of the U.S. dollar as the world’s reserve currency; and present an up-to-the-minute overview of crucial global security issues every investor must understand, no matter where they invest.

An interesting argument for investing strongly in the booming economy in Asia, By
This review is from: The Silk Road to Riches: How You Can Profit by Investing in Asia's Newfound Prosperity (Hardcover)
Centuries ago the old silk road and then the spice routes helped enrich Europe for centuries and helped spark the rise of the merchant classes in Italy and other countries. This book makes that case that the Western nations have matured and are actually stagnating while Asia (including India) are benefiting from explosive growth. Since over half the world's populations live in this region, the growth of these economies will make them world economic powers in the decades to come. The authors even make the case for them becoming dominant economic powers.If you buy into their story, and they are persuasive, you will want to read this book and think about ways to benefit from investing in this growth. After all, it is easier to grow when you start near zero than when you are near one-hundred percent. The book uses all kinds of trends, charts, and stories to make their case. I will only add two words of caution. First, beware of using the past to predict the... Read more

This review is from: The Silk Road to Riches: How You Can Profit by Investing in Asia's Newfound Prosperity (Hardcover)
An amazing book on everything to changes in different types of food people eat as they have more disposable income to how petroleum is refined into gasoline and different grades of crude. The book is mostly about changes in India and China and the promise and peril of possible investments in these countries with an emerging middle class.Numerous other important topics that are too numerous to mention. Books about the future and investment themes are not easy to construct if well thought out and with specific, practical, and meaningful suggestions, in this case investment advice. One also has to be open minded and humble, and at the same time confident which the authors seem to be. I think this book accomplishes the above and is a triumph of connecting numerous (moving) dots with expertise and what appears to be a significant amount of research. This is a well written book. I am a tough grader, but I give it five stars.

This review is from: The Silk Road to Riches: How You Can Profit by Investing in Asia's Newfound Prosperity (Hardcover)
Not only on Asia, but some excellent historical perspective on the U.S. markets as well. If you've been wondering about all this talk regarding globalization and how it may affect your investing in the future, this book is a solid read. I would not recommend this for the novice investor but a more intermediate to somewhat seasoned investor.
