  35. Secular Themes: Long Term Consumption Trends 35

  36. Changes In Protein Consumption Will Continue As incomes rise above subsistence levels, high-value food products become more prevalent in diets. Such products include meat and processed foods like fats, oils, and confectionery products. As shown in the above graph for China, India, and Brazil, protein consumption has the largest projected growth potential. 36

  37. Water Purification Will Be A Big Problem, Due To Demand For Oil, Gas, and Food 37

  38. EUROPEAN AND OTHER CRISES WILL PROVIDE BIG INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES DHEENU V. SIVALINGAM 38

  39. EUR Weakness is Good for European Companies • European equity outperforms 88% of the time when Euro weakens. • Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development estimates that, for every 20% drop in the Euro, the Eurozone will enjoy a 1.6% boost to real economic growth. And corporate earnings will rise 22%. • If these benefits outweigh proposed austerity measures to cut spending and raise taxes, we could see quick European equity outperformance; most likely it will be good for some countries and not so good for others. 39

  40. European equities that generate more than half of their revenue from outside Europe will benefit the most. 40

  41. Being a Contrarian • The road ahead won't be easy. Investors must focus on the Eurozone countries that stand to benefit the most from the Euro's slide. • Like any contrarian countertrend idea, calling the exact bottom of this downturn is impossible. Moreover, it's likely that a few years down the road, the PIIGS will end up restructuring their debt anyway, much like Dubai recently did. • Europe is headed for change, in that either it will emerge from the crisis with greater fiscal unity, or with a different membership. Either way, the Eurozone will be different to the one that exists today, something investors need to understand. 41

  42. SCREENING FOR WINNING STOCKS IN A FLAT MARKET DHEENU V. SIVALINGAM 42

  43. Investing in Flat Market • Be good stock pickers rather than closet index trackers. 43

  44. Look for companies with low expectations. Investors can sometimes become overly pessimistic about the prospects for a company for many reasons. But a strong business that has maybe just hit a temporary snag can generate extraordinary returns, if it is able to right the ship. • Look for companies who have a strong innovating culture, There have been many technological advances since 1998, but not all of them have led to profitable growth for firms. The companies that have succeeded at innovating are the ones that have banked real profits and produced positive cash flow for their owners. • Look for companies who are in a favorable industry trends. A rising tide lifts all boats. In other words, some companies have seen strong gains simply because of the industries they operate in. These companies have the wind at their backs and don't have to fight tooth-and-nail to steal market share in order to grow. The pie simply grows larger and everyone wins. 44

  45. Look for companies who have a strong dividend and dividend growth. Although dividends have historically accounted for close to 40% of the total return of the stock market, they were not very fashionable in the late 1990's. But in this era of super low interest rates and choppy stock markets, the dividend stock seems to be making a bit of a comeback. Not only can you get a higher yield right now on many blue chip stocks than you could on a 10-year Treasury note, many of these companies consistently raise their dividends each year. There are strong tax advantages as well, assuming tax laws don’t change. • Look for companies who have attractive valuations. Fortunately for long-term investors, valuations on the S&P 500 are much more attractive than they were in 1998. But that doesn't guarantee strong returns for the stock market over the next decade. • Be disciplined. Don't buy it unless the price is at the level you believe is at or below the true value of the company. In long periods of a flat or sideways market, you want the holding of the stock to be worth your while. 45
