Some folks were angered by this news... [Energy and Capital Header] Practical Investment Analysis for the New Energy Economy How to Profit from Chinaâs Failed Communist Experiment Jeff Siegel | Jan 29, 2024 Last week, China announced that it would cut the reserve requirement ratio for its banks. This basically means banks in China will now be required to hold smaller reserves than what was previously required, thereby creating more long-term liquidity for the market. Some folks were angered by this news, claiming that this will enable more dangerous risk-taking by the banks. But in China, if you screw up in the world of banking, you disappear. In the U.S., you get a fat bonus and a slap on the wrist. But thatâs not really the point. The point is that this move underscores the argument that China is NOT some kind of indestructible economic giant.  Make no mistake: China is struggling with everything from record high youth unemployment, a real estate crisis thatâs gutting multi-billion-dollar developers, and a stock market that has lost more than $6 trillion in value over the past three years. To put that into perspective, thatâs more than the GDP of Russia, Mexico, and South Korea combined. [Exploit Congressâ New Law for Easy Moneyâ¦]( Congressed just passed a brand-new law.

Dr. Rumki Majumdar opined on Indiaâs growth in Deloitteâs most recent India economic outlook, writing ⦠"Extrapolating from Professor Ricardo Hausmannâs 'Scrabble' theory of economic development, India took determined and focused actions to convert know-how and capabilities into unique products and solutions. Indiaâs emphasis on using technology to accumulate and diffuse tacit knowledge, building high-end manufacturing capacity, and improving competitiveness through exports formed the three necessary catalysts that boosted its growth trajectory and improved its economic fundamentals over the years. We are optimistic about Indiaâs near-term growth outlook as it reaps the benefits of the steps it has taken so far." Indiaâs impressive growth actually reminds me a bit of what we saw back in the early 2000s in China, when the Middle Kingdomâs economy was roaring. There were a lot of opportunities back then to ride Chinaâs wave of economic growth, and we took full advantage of that here at Energy & Capital.  Apple Just Released its "iPhone Killer" Apple has just launched the Vision Pro, its most groundbreaking development since the iPhone! Apple CEO Tim Cook hails it as "the most advanced consumer electronics device ever created." But the real story is about a small tech firm that is a critical part of this revolution.

In the coming weeks and months, Iâll provide more detail on Indiaâs rise to economic superpower status, and of course how we can profit from it. One thing to consider today is Indiaâs effect on oil markets. According to analysts at Bernstein Research, India is expected to be the most important single region driving demand growth over the next 20 years making it a key country to watch for future demand. This actually aligns with some of the predictions recently made by our resident oil & gas analyst Keith Kohl regarding one of three triggers for the next big oil bull market thatâs expected to send oil prices back up over $100 per barrel â and actually stay there for at least two years. The data are quite convincing as you can[see for yourself in this short piece of intel here.]( Bottom line: Chinaâs economy is not as strong as it once was, and India is rapidly catching up. And you better believe weâre going to milk this for everything itâs worth. You should, too. Starting with [these stocks.]( To a new way of life and a new generation of wealth...
