Investment Guru Richard Russell’s Favorite Chinese Stock

Here´s a note about a compelling stock story from legendary newsletter writer Richard Russell.
This from Russell:
I usually don’t spend a lot of time touting one stock. But there is one stock that fascinates me. It’s the Chinese stock, BYD. BYD is run by CEO Wang Chuanfu who, according to Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett’s right-hand man, is a combination of Thomas Edison and Jack Welch. The company is only 14 years old and is already bringing in $4 billion in sales.
BYD is now the world’s leading manufacturer of batteries (they supply the batteries for Apple). BYD is now moving into the manufacturing of plug-in cars. I think in view of the company’s history and capabilities, that BYD will be successful and a coming huge factor in the auto business.
Warren Buffett and Richard Russell are buying BYD, maybe you should too…

ContrarianProfits.com is a financial news and opinion website with a twist. As investment guru Rick Rule puts it, “You are either a contrarian or a victim.” In the financial world, most people are losers because they just don’t know what game they’re playing. They think they can just get “into the market” along with everyone else, do what everyone else does, and they will make money. Not likely. By the time you’ve paid commissions, spreads, fees, taxes – and suffered the consequences of inflation – you’ll be very lucky just to have as much money as you started with.
ContrarianProfits.com is a contrarian site, in the sense that we provide ideas, opinions and recommendations that often run counter to the mainstream financial press. We do this not just to be contrary, but because we’ve realized that Rick is right. You don’t make money by following the crowd; you make money by leading it.
Why is this so? Well, it’s obvious that if you do the same thing everyone else does you’ll get the same results everyone else gets. On average, and over the long run, real investment returns for the typical investor cannot exceed the rate of growth of the economy itself. Everybody can’t get richer faster than everybody else. Real economic growth in the US today averages about 3% per year; if you don’t make any mistakes, that’s about what you can expect. Few people may be satisfied with 3% per year, but most feel comfortable in the middle of the financial herd and are happy to take whatever that gets them. If you’re one of those people, you will probably not like our site. It will make you uncomfortable.
If, on the other hand, you’re willing to look at things a little differently, you’ll appreciate the views of many of our columnists, contributors and visionaries.
