In your lifetime you’ll have many chances to make money.<\/p>\n

That’s why we advise investors not to make rash decisions.<\/p>\n

It’s why we say that if you miss a stock rally, don’t panic, just wait for the next one.<\/p>\n

However, while stocks rise and fall on a daily basis, there are some opportunities you can’t afford to miss<\/a>. Because depending on your age, some opportunities will never appear again in your lifetime.<\/p>\n

One of those opportunities is here right now. And it’s so rare that it’s fair to call it the Halley’s Comet of investment opportunities<\/strong>…<\/p>\n

If you know anything about astronomy, you’ll know that Halley’s Comet passes through the solar system past the Earth roughly every 75 years.<\/p>\n

The last time it showed up was in 1986.<\/p>\n

It’s not due to reappear until 2061. A child born today will be middle-aged by the time Halley’s Comet next arrives.<\/p>\n

And the investment opportunity<\/strong> before you today is similarly a rare event.<\/p>\n

The Dot-com Boom Was a Blip Compared to This<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

When we’re talking about the Halley’s Comet type investment opportunities, we’re talking about the big investing megatrends.<\/p>\n

Those are investing themes that can last for an entire generation. By that we mean for perhaps 20, 30 or 40 years. We’re not talking about something as brief as the dot-com boom.<\/p>\n

And we’re not talking about the brief two year trend that was the dividend stock rally.<\/p>\n

This is something much bigger. This megatrend started around 2003. It has had what will turn out to be a brief setback that has lasted off and on from 2011 through to today. But this megatrend is set to resume its extraordinary growth path.<\/p>\n

By now you’ve probably figured it out. It’s China<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Take this report from the BBC yesterday:<\/p>\n

\n

‘China announced a growth target of 7.5% and revealed plans to raise its defence budget by 12.2%, as it opened its annual parliament session in Beijing.<\/em>‘<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That one sentence says it all.<\/p>\n

Whatever your view on China, there’s no denying that 7.5% annual growth is huge. As we’ve mentioned before, at that rate China’s economy will double in size within the next nine years<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It’s one thing for a small underdeveloped economy to double in size in nine years. It’s something else for the world’s second biggest economy to do the same thing.<\/p>\n

To put that into context, based on the current growth rate of 2.8% it will take the Aussie economy more than 25 years to double in size. It’s a mind-boggling comparison.<\/p>\n

Perhaps now you can grasp the scale and importance of this megatrend.<\/p>\n

Your Chance to Invest in the ‘new America’<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

That’s why investors need to understand the China story today. The fact that the growth rate is so amazing underlies the rare nature of this opportunity.<\/p>\n

If developing nations of this size doubled their economy at the same rate all the time then it wouldn’t be such a big deal.<\/p>\n

But it doesn’t<\/em> happen all the time. The best way of putting this into perspective is to say that investing in China today is like having the foresight to invest in Japan in the 1950s, the US in the 1880s, or Britain in the 1740s.<\/p>\n

And because these events are<\/em> so rare it means you have to make the most of them when they appear. You need to make sure that you don’t end up looking back on today and regretting a huge missed opportunity.<\/p>\n

The best thing about this is that it won’t just be a resource boom. If it was, that would be good enough. After all, the demand for Aussie resources over the next nine years will dwarf anything seen so far. After a long drought resource investors will get a reward for their patience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But it will be more than that.<\/p>\n

It will be a technology boom. A services boom. A manufacturing boom. And perhaps most interestingly, a military boom.<\/p>\n

It’s the last of which that we’re keen to discuss with military technology expert Byron King. He’s in town from the US at the end of this month to present at the World War D<\/a> conference in Melbourne.<\/p>\n

The Biggest Boom The World Has Ever Seen<\/h2>\n<\/p>\n

Doubtless as China’s economy grows<\/a> the central government will seek to increase the size and power of its military.<\/p>\n

Wealthy nations always do that. China will seek to increase its influence overseas, and maintain control at home.<\/p>\n

So from an investing angle the next stage of China’s boom years will be about so much more than just iron ore, copper, oil and natural gas. It will be about consumer electronics, high tech weapons systems, telecommunications, healthcare, and transport.<\/p>\n

It would be easy to look at China and say that China already has all these things – skyscrapers, bullet trains, mobile phones, and millions of new cars sold every year.<\/p>\n

But remember – and make sure this sinks in – China’s economy is set to double within nine years<\/em>. If it does the country will need to create in nine years the same size economy that until today has taken over one thousand years.<\/p>\n

That will be a huge achievement.<\/p>\n

But it’s also an example of the impact that new technology <\/a>is having on the world’s economies.<\/p>\n

In a way, talking about China like this may come across as a bit of a cliché. But anyone who thinks the China boom has ended is missing out on the chance to buy into a booming market.<\/p>\n

We won’t say that the boom has only just begun (that would be a cliché), but we will say that the biggest and most spectacular phase of the boom hasn’t even started. When it does it will result in the biggest investment megatrend this generation of investors has ever seen and likely ever will see.<\/p>\n

In the weeks and months ahead we’ll fill you in on our plans to help you profit from this boom as it happens. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n

Cheers,
