Dear Investor: Our upcoming cruise through Asia is going to be a voyage to remember—in every respect. Every aspect of this ultra-luxurious 15-day journey to visit the treasures of China and Japan will be a breathtaking experience. Throughout the entire voyage, we will bask in unrivaled comfort aboard the Crystal Symphony—named “World’s Best Large Ship Cruise Line” by readers of Condé Nast Traveler and Travel + Leisure for 11 years running. On our days at sea, I will share my latest research and analysis to help you fine-tune your portfolio for maximum returns. And that includes strategies, forecasts, and yes—specific buy-and-sell recommendations. Here’s a preview— Economic growth in emerging economies has produced a critical mass of middle-class consumers with buying power. We’ll talk about the companies that are perfectly positioned to benefit from this expanding and vibrant market. Since 2000, the global labor force has doubled from 1.5 billion to 3 billion, but the world’s invested capital has not doubled. So, the return on capital can be high for a long time. I’ll show you which companies have big exposure to emerging market economies and thus are able to harness their power to boost their profits. As the saying goes—there’s always a bull market somewhere. I will reveal my outlook for the global markets for the rest of the year and share my time-proven strategies for incorporating a global perspective in your portfolio to add healthy returns to your bottom line. Just as Research in Motion came up with the BlackBerry, the next breakthrough will likely come from a Chinese or Korean company we’ve never even heard of today. We’ll explore undiscovered opportunities in the next red-hot sectors. At this more-intimate gathering, we can relax, share fond memories of past happy times at sea, and just have some fun together. I can promise you a chance to laugh a little, learn a lot, and disembark much better prepared to face what lies ahead for you and your finances in 2008—and beyond. I look forward to sharing this extraordinary cruise with you. John Dessauer Editor, John Dessauer’s Investor’s World Dear Investor: I would like to extend my personal invitation to join me for the 15th Phillips InvestorPlace.com Cruise, March 30- April 14, 2008. As most of you know, I was born in Taiwan, so there’s nothing I’d like to do more than to cruise with you through wondrous Asia. Because this is going to be such an exclusive group, we’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other better and together uncover the hottest opportunities in Asia on this once-in-a-lifetime experience! Since I spend a great deal of time traveling around China, and I speak fluent Mandarin, I’ve gone where others can’t, and I’ve seen what outsiders have missed. On this cruise, I’ll share my firsthand insights. We’ll discuss which companies are perfectly positioned to take advantage of the unbelievable growth in China, and you’ll see for yourself what I’ve been talking about—cranes sprouting from the Shanghai skyline like mushrooms after a rainstorm; skyscrapers that rival those in New York and Chicago—housing the headquarters of multi-nationals such as Nikon, Nestle, and Panasonic; floating billboards flashing neon advertisements, viewed from the Bund. With China guzzling raw materials to fuel its astonishing growth, commodity prices have been on fire. I’ll share my ideas for cashing in on copper, cement, aluminum, and more—all of which have hit 25-year highs in recent times. From KFC to Starbucks, and eBay to Microsoft, I will detail which U.S. companies have a winning strategy for profiting from the China Miracle—and which don’t. Not only will I reveal where the opportunities are, but I’ll also show you where the pitfalls lie, so you don’t get caught in the same trap that unwary China investors have fallen into in the past. And with a three-day all-inclusive tour in Beijing before the cruise, you’ll have to agree that this is indeed a great deal! The only thing it needs to make it totally perfect is you. So why not join me and let’s cruise Asia together next spring—for fun and profit, and memories to last a lifetime.
