Top Investments

Prior to the subprime imbroglio, Wall Street performed quite well in 2007. The top investment in 2007 were banking stocks.Commodities stocks featured well as one of the prime market movers on Wall Street In the first quarter of 2008. With the start of the fall out of the sub-prime in early 2008, Wall Street stocks plummeted to the lowest levels in many decades as the economy tanked to pre-war GDP levels. While in 2007, banking stocks held sway; 2008 and 2009 saw unprecedented rise of commodity and crude oil prices and their related stocks. However, stock markets world-wide led by Wall Street went down as soon as the toxic investment issue hit the streets. In 2009, top investment banks like Lehman Brothers sought refuge from the courts to protect themselves from creditors and many insurance companies as well as home mortgage companies came under the protection of the US government.

	Top investment funds like the various funds of Warren Buffett came to do `national service` by buying into promising companies at a sharp discount. The government`s pump-priming efforts have brought about renewed confidence in the economy even though non-farm unemployment figures continue to be worrisome. The better performance from economic indicators in the second quarter for most developed economies has brought impetus to buying interest in stocks world-wide including US stocks. This has brought top investment newsletters to forecast that the US economy will start to turn around beginning in the last quarter of 2009.
	Goldman Sachs, which has emerged almost unscathed from the sub-prime affair, is aggressively promoting new IPO investments in the global stock markets. The continuing interest in the China stock markets has attracted many top investment banks and top investment funds to move into the Chinese market via Hong-Kong. While returns may not be as good as in 2007, many top investment firms and top investment banks such as the Citibank Group expect good returns from their investment in the Chinese market. Top investment newsletters have also come into the action arena to recommend exposure to the overseas market such as in Hong-Kong, Mumbai, Taiwan and South Korea.

With the expectations of better stock market performance in the fourth quarter of 2009, many top investment funds are moving from bonds and properties into stocks and commodities like gold,coal and copper. While crude oil is expected to trade around the USD70 dollar per barrel range in the near term, some top investors have recommended investments into commodity related stocks in niche markets which have been lagging behind such as the Thai and Malaysian stock markets. Top investment books have also been coming out from the printing mill claiming foresight into what is in store for investors in 2010 and giving stock recommendations. With the amount of abundant money churning in the various economies brought about by massive pump-priming efforts world-wide, the extra money supply has to find a home somewhere. Many are anticipating it will go first into bonds, to be followed by a buy-in into commodities and then into gilt-edged equities.
