From Wall Street to the Great Wall:
How to Invest in China
By Jonathan Worrall and Peter O’Shea
In today’s business world, China is universally regarded as the sleeping giant, with “Made in China” appearing on everything from appliances to automobiles. China is today's hot investing opportunity. Yet investors must rely on suspect and limited information. Most investors find that the only way to really find out what is going on in China is to actually travel to China and inspect a company. This is obviously not available to every investor. FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL: How to Invest in China (Wiley; December 2006; $27.95; Cloth) is a unique insider’s guide to investing in the new China. Mergent, Inc. is now opening the doors to China and providing detailed reports on Chinese companies and industries. This one-of-a-kind guide will provide readers with the information they need to successfully invest in China.
FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL, by Jonathan Worrall and Peter O’Shea, is divided into two parts. In the first half, the readers will gain an understanding of China, its current history and economic trends. The book reviews the historical and cultural history of China and draws parallels to the U.S. economy at a similar time of development. Comparisons between historical U.S. economic growth of the past, and economic growth in China in the future is revealing and interesting. This section is designed to present information in the context of what the investor needs and wants and looks to help them find opportunities where others may not.
In the second half of the book, readers will learn how to actually invest in the market. Initially a discussion of ETFs, mutual funds, and options, will help the reader identify the best means for achieving individual goals. Later in the book, readers will be exposed to actual industry information and learn about the major players in each market. This section is designed more for the sophisticated investor looking for opportunities in specific companies. Filled with in-depth insight and practical advice, FROM WALL STREET TO THE GREAT WALL, shows readers how to identify opportunities and invest safely and profitably in the expanding Chinese economy.
