Let’s not make a mistake!<\/p>\n
A lot of concerns of the financial markets are very legitimate and it seems that this \u201eprolonged European Halloween” which we can watch these days will not end anytime soon.<\/p>\n
But don’t let you scare away from the stock market!<\/p>\n
Globalization is for real: Among the companies listed on major stock exchanges there is no more such a thing like a pure US or a pure European company.<\/p>\n
That means that companies today are much more diversified and independent of single markets or regions like the Eurozone region than they were years ago.<\/p>\n
But institutional investors still buy or sell whole regions or even continents….buy Europe…sell Europe….start again…<\/p>\n
The individual investor who does not behave like lemmings has a clear edge here:<\/p>\n
Try to profit from low prices in depressed markets and try to identify good companies, if possible the no. 1 or no. 2 in there markets with strong balance sheets and capable management.<\/p>\n
But avoid European financial companies like banks and insurances at any cost! They are \u201etoxic waste”.<\/p>\n
Who knows exactly how much European public debt and which one they will have to write down?<\/p>\n
Rather take Colfax stock (NYSE: CFX) as an example, a clear winner and successful integrater in its field of industrial pumps and fluid handling. This blog follows Colfax now for 2 \u00bd years and it absolutely crushed the S&P 500!<\/p>\n
At this time of writing the stock seems a little expensive after it released its excellent Q3 2011 results but why not wait for dips when \u201efinancial Halloween” seems to come back to the markets?<\/p>\n
