Cheap stocks, stable dollar

Article Abstract:

Investments in New Zealand are expected to earn 7.5 percent in six months due to an appreciation of New Zealand stocks, and 12 percent from an improving currency exchange rate. However, the New Zealand market is very small with a market capitalization of $4 billion, and the country has a primarily agrarian economy.

Risk lessens in Asian stocks

Article Abstract:

Asian stock markets are usually described as being more volatile than U.S. or European markets, but lately Asian markets have been just as shaky as the more developed stock exchange indexes. The resulting low price of stock options (a sort of insurance in stock) makes investment in the Asian markets cheaper and more reliable.
