Asia's Gambling Addiction

Macau is an island off of the China coast and since the 16^th century it has been home to a robust, albeit illegal, gambling environment.  In 1847 the Chinese government legalized gabling on the island, establishing it as a main economic driver to the area.

Over the next hundred or so years the Chinese drifted in and out of various states of legal and illegal gambling status.  In the 1960s the current gabling legislation was established and specific licenses were extended to a limited number of gambling houses.  These license holders held monopoly positions for the last 40 years!  Over this time, Macau became known as the “Oriental Monte Carlo.” 

Just to give you an idea of the impact gambling has on the area . . . the tax revenue represents more than 30% of the government budget and the industry employs 10,000 local residents.  Now that is what I would call an influential industry!      

A few years ago, the government decided to open up the licensee process and suddenly the US based casinos like the Wynn Resorts (NASDAQ: WYNN) and the Las Vegas Sands (NYSE: LVS) had the opportunity to submit proposals to build and own casinos.  The MGM Mirage (NYSE: MGM) is currently planning two developments in the area!

Where Can You Turn $300 Into $1.3 Million Right Now?

Our own small-company specialist, Robert Morris, has found a way to 'sniff out' tiny penny stocks on the verge of a major breakout.  And the timing for this has never been better.

You see, the system takes advantage of an obscure SEC regulation that sends penny stock prices through the roof.

We've seen some stocks gain 852%... 5,450%... even 17,496% in no time flat.

Now you may ask yourself, major casinos like these already have operations is places like Las Vegas and Atlantic City, why is Macao so important?  One simple reason  . . .  actually 3 billion reasons.  China has more than 3 billion residents that live within a short flight of Macau; compare that with the 250 million that live in the United States.  It quickly becomes apparent that the potential market is 12 times the size of the US. 

This is a great opportunity for investors as the casinos will continue to develop the Macau area.  Building on the strong interest the Chinese have in gambling, the long term growth potential is enormous. 

Over the next few months you will see the government issue license to many of these “global” casino operators, and with the business potential in this area alone, any positive news should materially impact these stocks!

•  Copper (+15.8% In The Last 30 Days)

The copper industry showed remarkable gains over the last month, driving a positive move of almost 16%.  This comes on the heals of the closing of a major acquisition (Freeport/ Phelps Dodge) and continued strength in the underlying commodity.  Interestingly the recent filings put out by Freeport indicate that they are preparing for a natural decline in copper prices . . . Nobody seemed to tell the market!
