Water Scarcity: Profit From A Multi-Generational Trend…

Do you sometimes feel a bit… shall I say… crowded?
I know I do.
Having grown up in a small rural Montana town, I’m used to a small
smattering of people and a lot of wide-open spaces. In fact, the town I
grew up in only has around 800 people who call it home.

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.

And in the surrounding countryside, there are more cows than
people… by a long shot.
That’s a far cry from where I live now…
I moved my family to Phoenix a few years ago. And there’s an estimated
4.2 million people living in the “Valley Of The Sun”. That’s over
4x the
number of people living in the entire state of Montana!
And it seems like I’m stuck behind every one of them on my drive to the
office in the morning.
Sigh…
No doubt about it, there’s a lot of people running around these days. In
fact, the world crossed an important threshold earlier this week…
According to the United Nations, there are now seven billion people
inhabiting the earth. That’s up from two billion in 1927, four billion in
1974, and six billion in 1999. It doesn’t take a trained eye to see human
population has exploded in the past 80 years.
But that’s just the start of it…
Experts estimate global human population will grow to eight billion by 2024
and ten billion around 2083. Clearly, a lot of people are going to need
clean water and food in coming years.
But concerned scientists are wondering… where’s it going to come from?
Resource depletion is already a growing issue as global population
swells. Things many of us take for granted like water and food are a
scarcity for millions of people. In fact, according to the World Health
Organization, water scarcity affects 1 out of every 3 people on every
continent.
And lack of water leads to food shortages…
Falling water tables in the world’s largest grain producing countries
(US, China, and India) has put pressure on global grain supplies in
recent years. In fact, the 2008 food crisis was a direct effect of
droughts and rising oil prices.
Without ample water to grow food and cheap energy to harvest it, food
prices can quickly rise to unaffordable levels for a large percentage of
the world’s population.
What’s all this worrisome news mean for investors?
First of all, my point in bringing up all these unnerving facts isn’t to
scare you. It’s simply to make you aware of the immense investment
opportunities coming our way.
You see, one of mankind’s most valuable assets is our ability to
innovate. And there’s no doubt about it, we’ll need a heavy dose of
innovation in coming years.
To solve the world’s water problems, we’ll need revolutionary technology. Maybe it’s desalination technology that can turn seawater into
freshwater quicker and more efficiently.
One thing’s for certain…
The innovations helping to solve the world’s water problems will need to
be financed. And there’s one place that companies go to get boatloads of
capital… the global equity markets.
That means investors like you and me will have a front row seat to some
of the most exciting profit opportunities in history.
Is there a way to invest in the growing need for clean water right now?
One of the easiest ways is through the PowerShares Water Resources
Portfolio (PHO). This ETF holds a handful of global companies focusing
on making clean water available to the masses.
Keep a close eye on this growing trend. One day we may find the global
water industry is one of most valuable on the planet.
