Unlike most investment advisers and strategists, who pay much attention to politics, both here in America and in foreign markets. The policy of a country tells me a lot about the likelihood of long-term economic growth and stability - the prerequisites for a successful investment. It also shows the culture of a country's business environment, and durability in the impact of shocks such as the slowing housing market. Countries with open political systems and free, and club hits comingto react.
I still do not know if the Dow up or down tomorrow, we know that shortly after midnight, residents of Dixville Notch, is, as always, the first American citizen to vote in New Hampshire, the presidential candidates.
The current presidential election campaign has actually pump blood. The race between Hillary Clinton and Senator Obama has his head turned to delay the opening of John Edwards. The Republican race remains fluid and openwith the increase of the former Governor Huckabee is a threat by former Governor Romney, former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani, losing strength in national polls and focus its efforts on large states like California and Florida. Although this movement has created an opening for the old lion, Sen. John McCain, the campaign was to have died a few months ago and is back in New Hampshire.
For a political junkie like me, there's nothing better than that.
TheThe leaders of the Chinese love American democracy as "democracy bags of money" to describe, but stressed the current race that matters, personality and strategy often earn money. Huckabee won in Iowa, 20-1 despite financial conditions, the intruder, Mr. Obama, Clinton money machine dollar for dollar, accompanied by collecting small donations and McCain back in action despite his estimate of bus.
Equally important, the candidates far behind in the polls, you can raise funds through a platformConviction. Libertarian Congressman Ron Paul of Texas recently broke a record fundraising day, rake in more than five million dollars a year online.
Then there is the relatively civil behavior in our fields and fair periodic transfer of executive power. Course politics is a contact sport anywhere, but looks great compared to the fight last month in South Korea, the chaotic situation in Pakistan, and the awkward change of power in Putin's Russiagood - Putin.
Pakistan is the clearest example of political turmoil and wonder, how could that developments in neighboring India, booming stock market as represented the effects of ETF (IFN). India is a result of events in neighboring Pakistan for a security challenge that might happen. Remember that there are more Muslims in India than in Pakistan and that both countries have nuclear weapons. Since the creation of Pakistan in 1947, the twoThe countries have conducted three major wars. The first two came from the conflict in Jammu and Kashmir state in northern India, which shares a border with Pakistan. The accession of Jammu and Kashmir to India in 1947 has been denied by Pakistan.
The year 2008 also brings some important elections, it will definitely affect the markets. In Thailand, the People Party, allies of deposed Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra, has been that as the strongest partyChristmas Eve after the elections, but fell short against a majority, it formed a government in 2008 is unclear. It is difficult to trust the Thai market (TF) with some confidence that the government is in office, although it is interesting from the standpoint of evaluation.
Japanese Prime Minister Fukuda, less than three months on the job, the same lack of confidence and popularity of his predecessor, Mr. Abe has fallen suffering. This helped make Japan the worst in AsiaCarry Index (EWJ) last year. It s a coincidence that the program was strong economic boom in Japan is Koizumi and Foreign Minister of the former prime minister?
The presidential elections are scheduled to perform in Taiwan in March this year and will have a significant impact on relations with China. Could open channels between the two countries and economic catalyst for the recent lackluster Taiwan ETF (EWT). South Korea faces MPsThe elections of April, the result will be a key support to choose the support of pro-market reform plans of President Lee Myung-bak.
This highlights one of the most difficult aspects of running a democracy - the concept of loyal opposition. Many cultures find it difficult to understand and practice the government's policy to oppose and try to change while remaining patriotic and loyal to his country. The expression "where opinions clash, Freedom Ringsalien and undesirable in many countries around the world.
Our system of two parties, while criticized by many, is also very important. coalition governments are usually a "very heavy and unstable. Just pay attention to the situation in India, where some relatively small faction of the Communist Party of the coalition bloc of significant market reforms.
And the great bull market in general, the dynamic begins to meet with important economic reforms. U.S. economic growth, evenToday can be attributed to President Reagan's tax cuts supply center, due to its platform of 1980. The Irish economy was in chaos with a median income higher than 60% of taxable income and debt control.
Then Charlie Haughey was prime minister. Taxes and spending dropped sharply and companies like Apple, Microsoft and Dell were the Atlantic for a series of incentives such as lower corporate taxes drew more. The Irish marketbroke up and running, but unfortunately, the impact of these reforms fades dramatically with time and with it the prospects of the new fund Ireland Ireland Fund (IRL).
In the same way, the radical reforms of former Australian Prime Minister Bob Hawke in 1980 to create the conditions for prosperity in a single race, and reinforced by John Howard, has contributed to the Australian market (EWA), the spoiled child of investors worldwide. The same can be said of Prime Minister Margaretelection of Margaret Thatcher and making the British economy.
The reason for all these programs have been successful and is permanent, because they had the support shown by the political process. It may take more time than many people are happy, but the reforms through the democratic process to review and make lasting legitimacy. In the end, calling voters and changing the reward.
An interesting and important global trend is that political support for globalization isstronger in emerging markets here in the United States. It is a drastic change in just ten years ago, when politicians use the foreign multinationals in developing countries as scapegoats.
A recent survey by the Wall Street Journal and NBC, 58 percent of Americans think globalization is bad for America and only 28 percent thought it was good. Ten years of separation was: 48 percent thought that globalization was good and said that 42 percentE 'was wrong. The biggest surprise is that supporters of both sides are not far apart on the issue. Globalization has been bad for the U.S. after 55 percent of Republicans and 63 percent of Democrats. This feeling is only through open and honest debate on economic policy that American companies are turning to generate more jobs and increased market share in fast growing emerging markets.
Politics in a democracy like the United Statesalso a reflection of its corporate culture. In most cases, candidates for public office today are self-selected, not elected by the party machine. Candidates for public office in the United States as 25 million small business owners who fought on their own with little more than a hope and a prayer and somehow managed to withstand and thrive.
But I do not mean that politics is only important because its impact on businesses. It's more fundamental values of a countryand the heart of their quality of life. What good is all the money in the world, if people do not click on freedom of expression, religious freedom, due process and the kind of leaders? No thanks.
Then there's the ultimate test. That people would come around the world and live in their country. No matter what you think about securing our border with Mexico is important to remember that people in the United States, not having taken in some countries, people in the wallswho wants to leave.
It should also be considered against a temporary economic slowdown, banking problems, global competition and market turbulence that U.S. policy is important to maintain a competitive advantage. Without a political trial free, open and robust, although economic growth will only go so far until you beat a time of enormous speed and time.
So do not forget to consider the policy to be adopted in building a global portfolio.
