Political turmoil... financial upheaval... social unrest... coups d'etat... Third World civil wars... and bloody rebel uprisings often spawn unfathomable wealth. And in many cases, one country's extreme pain is the savvy trader's gain.
Does that disturb you?
I understand how it could. And don't get me wrong. I detest unnecessary violence. War is ugly and evil for sure. But it's still the way things get done on most of the planet.
This is especially true in the Third World, and the fact of the matter is, when blood flows in the streets... big gains are on the horizon.
Other examples, include:
PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia (TLK): During the horrific Indonesia Revolution of 1998, this telecom company plummeted from $32 to $2.35. Most people stayed away, but the savvy investors who spotted opportunity in this crisis rode TLK from $2.35 to over $47...
Telefonica of Argentina (TAR): During the Argentina currency crisis of 2001, this telecommunications provider dropped from $50 to $2. Nervous investors wouldn't touch TAR with a 10-foot pole, but people with the vision to spot opportunity in the midst of crisis made a killing as the stock rebounded from $2 to $26.45...
Transportadora de Gas Del Sur (TGS): Another play on the Argentina currency crisis. Investors smart enough to pick this natural gas company at 62 cents made out like bandits when it soared to $8.10...
Turkcell (TKC): In 2001, Turkey experienced a severe political and economic crisis. The lira lost 50% of its value, and hundreds of thousands people lost their jobs. When Turkcell (a mobile phone operator in Turkey) plunged from $24 to $1.50 most people headed for the hills. But astute traders with the guts to exploit chaos jumped on board and rode Turkcell from $1.50 to $16.52.
Bottom line: When crisis hits, be ready. While most people run for cover, a fortune is waiting to be made by gutsy traders who have the courage (and financial means) to exploit chaos.
Take John Templeton, as another example...
When the Nazis invaded Poland in 1939, most people prepared for WWII by sinking their money into savings bonds. Not Templeton. Instead, he bought $100 worth of every penny stock on the NYSE... and quadrupled his money in four years.
And then there's George Soros who's legendary for exploiting turmoil. In fact, on September 16, 1992, he made over $1 billion in ONE DAY by preying on England's "Black Wednesday" currency crisis.
And then there's Manhattan-based trader Jim Rogers... According to Money Week magazine, Rogers turned a $600 stake into approximately $100 million by speculating in places most people on Wall Street would never touch, like Botswana, Uruguay and Zambia.
And if you think lucrative crisis-investing opportunities only come around once in a while... think again! While it's too late to buy the companies I just told you about...
