I have a trick question for you, especially if you’re interested in emerging markets: Among the four BRIC countries — Brazil, Russia, India and China — which offers the best stock market performance for American investors? Be careful how you answer, because appearances can be deceiving, especially if you focus strictly on one year. Looking at year-to-date results, for example, it might seem that the answer is Russia. From the close of trading at the end of last year through the closing price this past Friday … FXI, the exchange-traded fund (ETF) tracking China’s blue chips, is up 45.87 percent … PIN, representing India’s major stocks, is up 64.16 percent, and … EWZ, the leading Brazil ETF, is up 104.25 percent. But …...

Liberty Global Inc. (LBTYA) declared mixed financial results for the third quarter of 2009. Quarterly total revenue of $2.82 billion was an improvement of 7% year-over-year and also better than the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.75 billion. This was primarily due to the fabulous growth of Telnet and J:COM operations, which provides broadband services in Belgium and Japan respectively.  Quarterly GAAP net loss was $120.3 million or 45 cents per share compared to a net loss of $308.9 million or $1.01 in the prior-year quarter. However, third quarter net loss from continuing operation was 22 cents per share, above the Zacks Consensus estimate of a loss of 20 cents. Quarterly cost of operation was $1,059.2 million, up 5.5% year-over-year.  Selling, General and Administrative expense was $523.8 million, up 2.4% year-over-year. Third quarter operating income was $463.8 million, up 13.6% year-over-year. During the reported quarter, Liberty Global generated $691.4 ...

As many frequent readers of the Russian media would attest, retrieving accurate data pertaining to any sensitive topic can prove difficult.  It is thus reassuring to see that Russia has agreed to hold its census next year, at a cost of 10.5 billion rubles, after initial hesitation due to apparent lack of funds.  Indeed, this commentator suggests that whilst the census may go ahead, it will be 'less comprehensive and less accurate' than many would wish.  Murray Feshbach at RFE/RL argues that a census would allow the country to seriously tackle the issues of demographic decline, its manifest HIV and TB problems, and form policies on how to accommodate its ethnic and religious minorities.  Feshbach suggests census-phobia is ...

Indiarsquo;s deal to buy 200 metric tons (6.4 million troy ounces) of gold from the International Monetary Fund is a huge deal ndash; not just the fact that the New Delhi government is handing over $6.7 billion for the metal, but what it may mean for gold going forward. India is making a bullish call on gold. The supply of gold continues to decline ndash; the biggest supply is from governments selling their gold to pay for social programs. The IMF is a classic case of this. Whats particularly interesting in this case is that the buyer is a developing economy. I see this as another sign of the wealth shift away from the developed markets of North America and Western Europe toward the emerging world. China has also been a major buyer ndash; its gold reserves have nearly doubled since the start of 2003, when the price was about $345 an ounce. Another ...

Avon Products Inc. (AVP) reported third-quarter results with earnings of 36 cents per share. Earnings were below the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 39 cents and down 30.8% from 52 cents reported in the prior-year period. Total revenue declined 3.5% year over year to $2.6 billion, attributable to an 11% negative impact from foreign-currency exchange, which was partially offset by a 5% benefit from volume. The number of active representatives grew 10% during the quarter. Sales of Beauty products declined 3%, primarily due to the negative impact of foreign exchange and declines across three of the four categories. Skin Care declined 8%, Fragrance declined 4% and Personal Care declined 4%, these were partially offset by a 4% growth in color cosmetics. In North America, sales fell 8% as units sold declined 5% while active representatives were up 4%. In Latin America, sales grew 5% as units ...

One great thing about my position here as Director of Marketing is my extensive contact list. I say that because I have access to thousands of excellent traders, investors, and economists at my finger tips! So when things around the world catch my attention, I can quickly find someone who can give me the skinny on what’s really going down. One of my contacts is Nicholas Vardy, Editor, The Global Guru, and he’s got a MUCH better pulse on the world aboard then I do. That’s why I asked him to give us his reasons why the markets outside the US are doing so well and WHY!

He told me he’d love to get feedback from the Trader’s Blog readers, so let’s not let him down! You can also visit The Global Guru to get his new report on his favorite global picks.

Autoliv (ALV) has shown a profit of $33.7 million or 37 cents per share in the third quarter of the year, after reporting losses for the preceding three quarters. The Sweden-based supplier of automotive safety systems has also beaten the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 24 cents per share. Nevertheless, earnings declined from $34 million, or 44 cents per share, in the same quarter of 2008. Autoliv believed higher light vehicle production from the "Cash for Clunkers" program and other stimulus packages boosted its earnings. Consolidated net sales declined 14% to $1.32 billion while organic sales (i.e., sales excluding currency effects and acquisitions/ divestitures) fell 12%. Segment Performance Sales of airbag products decreased 12% to $858 million. Organic sales in the segment dipped 11% compared to an 18% decline in light vehicle production (LVP) in the Triad (i.e. North America, Europe and Japan) due to new ...

TNK-BP is on the lookout for oil and gas production projects in Iraq as the country builds up to its second round of international bidding.  A piece in the New York Times examines how the Nord Stream pipeline could reinforce Russia's dominance over its neighbors and re-establish a divide between eastern and western Europe.  EDF has denied claims that it is dispatching radioactive waste to Russia, but rather is sending 'spent nuclear fuel that needs to be reprocessed'.  A gas deal with China would be good news for Gazprom shares, says Bloomberg.  Beijing may look to invest in oil in the Western African states of Ghana and Guinea to help build up its economy and increase energy security.  The Moscow Times reports that the government intends to begin operating a long-term power capacity market in 2011.  ...

Daimler (DAI) has revealed its optimism about the U.S. truck market stating that the market has bottomed. The company has predicted that the North American truck market sales would rise 10% in 2010. Citing possible improvement in consumer and housing markets in the U.S. due to government stimulus, Andreas Renschler – a member of Daimler's board – has commented that demand for trucks carrying consumer goods or construction materials would revive.  In line with this expectation, the company has reversed its decision to close the Oregon truck plant last month. Last year, the company had slashed capacity by closing plants in Ontario and Oregon , aiming to improve annual earnings by $900 million within 2011. Nevertheless, Daimler believed that the global sales would not return to such peak levels in the near future.  The company anticipated demand for medium- and heavy-duty trucks to fall 50%–60% in ...
