Nicholas-Applegate sees high-growth stock possibilities: falling inflation, state privatization can work in favor of volatile issues, portfolio manager says

Article Abstract:

Global fund management firm Nicholas-Applegate believes that the emerging markets may provide the necessary short-term investment haven for investors, especially when their portfolio is in need of asset classes that have low correlation with other markets. Emerging markets , viewed in terms of gross domestic product growth, can grow as fast as two to three times compared to the markets of Japan, the US or Europe, and has the added benefit of falling inflation and privatization of state-owned assets that work in favor of investments.

A caveat for investors: capital markets aren't casinos

Article Abstract:

An evaluation of Chinese red-chip company performance in the stock market reveals that these companies are more prone to perform poorly in the free market and are thus poor investment options. Government-owned businesses have gone to the stock market in an attempt to raise much needed capital for China's economic development. These companies, however, are bound to perform poorly since they are under more pressure from the public than under the government.

Markets may keep rocking

Article Abstract:

Asian stock markets are likely to continue to be volatile in the light of reduced investor confidence and volume turnover. Analysts believe that the volatility is aggravated by the reduced number of investors, resulting in smaller trading volumes. The large number of covered call warrants issued before the fall of the Thai baht in July 1997, is also being blamed for the volatility of the market.
