EUROPE, CHINA, AND THE FISCAL CLIFF: OPPORTUNITIES 26 DHEENU V. SIVALINGAM
Opportunities: The Fiscal Cliff Sectors to focus on: 1)Healthcare (Long term structural change) 2)Financial (More clarity about regulations, and we will start to see big banks make major shifts in how they do business) 3)Consumer Goods (People need to eat even in a recession!) 27
Opportunities: Europe European Companies Are Looking For Cheaper Options (Companies are dropping high cost advertising companies and looking for major online advertisers like Google as an alternative) It's More Economical To Do Business in Europe (Weaker Euro allows US firms to buy with US Dollars, giving them an advantage) 28
Opportunities: Europe (Cont.)… European Products Will Cost You Less (Especially luxury products from Europe are seeing sales increase) European large cap stocks (Large European companies that also do business in countries outside Europe. There are many companies who are domiciled in Europe but do majority of their business outside of Europe) 29
Opportunities: China Leadership change gives clarity, unlike most other developed countries the leadership will stay in power for next 10 years. As China rebalances its economy towards being more domestically-driven rather than export oriented, there are going to be a lot of new winners who are more focused on domestic Chinese markets 30
Opportunities: China (Cont.)… Low inflation allows the Chinese leadership to do more monetary easing if needed or more than the need if they decide to bring the momentum back into the economy. 31
