November 17, 2010 China hands these U.S. companies a "blank check" A handful of small American oil and gas players have something the People's Republic desperately needs... And they're willing to pay as much as $2 trillion to get it. Only energy insider Dr. Kent Moors knows what it is - and which U.S. companies could hand you up to 25 times your money in 13 months as China pays out the nose for it. Dr. Moors' just-released presentation has all details here. The One Emerging Market That Investors Can't Afford to Ignore in the New Year [Editor's Note: This special report on investment opportunities in the world's emerging markets is the leadoff story for Money Morning's annual "Outlook" series, which will forecast the prospects for gold, oil, the U.S. economy and other top profit opportunities in the New Year. Make sure to watch for upcoming installments in the days to come.] By Martin Hutchinson, Contributing Editor, Money Morning When I review each of the world's emerging markets in order to decide which ones to buy in 2011, I start with two questions: Is the market cheap? And has it under-performed over the past year? If the answer is "yes" for both those questions, that market is much more likely to get my vote. But with every rule, there are also exceptions. As we will see. To discover the one market you can't afford to ignore in the New Year, please read on... Take A Guess... If you took the largest "big box" retailer in the world (and you know who I mean), what do you think the company's worth? About $38 billion in earnings every single year.

Because of the timing of this trip, I'm a bit late in the season - but not enough that I won't be able to get a good reading on this surprisingly accurate indicator of China's economic health.

While the Fed has announced more quantitative easing to pump more money into the U.S. economy - hoping that would encourage lending and spending - a cadre of cash-strapped consumers is worried the stimulus measures will actually ignite long-term inflation.
