In the Dutch golden age during the 17th century, Dutch trading, science and art dominated the world scene. It still packs a global punch and is often overlooked by investors.

About twice the size of New Jersey with a population of 16.5 million, the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a prosperous and open economy with a bent towards trading with the world. The top multinationals based in the Netherlands accounted for a combined revenue of $822 billion of revenue in 2005.

It is easy to tap into in this global corporate vigor through the Netherlands iShare (EWN) that contains a basket of 27 Dutch companies. The global financial services firm ING accounts for 18% of the basket. ING has a dominant position in growing Asian markets such as China, India and Thailand and its direct bank now has 15 million customers worldwide. 50% of its profits come from insurance operations and since European and American markets are rather mature, it’s strategy is to continue to diversify geographically and move into higher growth areas such as retirement services. ING is a low cost provider resulting in an ROE in 2005 of 24% though the relatively high debt load is a concern.

The next four highest weighted companies in this ETF are all top quality: ABN Amro, Phillips Electronics, Unilever and Aegon. In terms of sectors, diversified financials account for 18% of the basket, food, beverage and tobacco is 13%, banks, 13% and consumer durables 10%.

The Netherlands stock market is undervalued with its AEX index trading at a price earnings ratio of 12 times earnings.

Belgium, which broke away from the Netherlands in 1830, also presents investors with solid value. King Albert II reigns over this industrious nation with Dutch -speaking Flemings in the north and French-speaking Walloons in the south. Belgium sits at the crossroads of Europe and is home to both NATO and the European Union.

The Belgium ETF (EWK) contains 23 companies with the insurance and banking behemoth Fortis leading the way with 23% of the basket. The stock is 14% off its 52 week high and in the first quarter of 2006 its net profits before divestments was up 25%. Financials and banks make up more than 50% the holdings of the Belgium ETF with materials, food and telecom companies adding an additional 22%.

The Belgium stock market is undervalued trading at 1.9 times book with a forward price earnings ratio of 12. It enjoys low interest rates and according to data from EmergingPortfolio.com, global money managers have increased their Belgium weightings in the most recent month.

Add both Netherlands (EWN) and Belgium (EWK) to your global ETF portfolios to balance more aggressive allocations to emerging market countries.

THE U.S. DOLLAR

As we predicted, the drumbeat of PR for the dollar has begun in earnest, and this was and is to be expected.

No governmental financial authority anywhere wants the dollar to fall in a straight line without any rallies and without any slowdown. Now an effort has begun to give the dollar a rally; and it has been successful so far. The battle to slow down the dollar decline will include:

intervention by central banks to protect their dollar holdings

jawboning by central bankers and finance ministers in every country to try and give the dollar a further rally

Long-term, we remain bearish on the U.S. dollar. We should however, remember that even the dollar can rally, and it occasionally does. It rallied for eleven months beginning in December 2004. Then it had a spectacular decline from late 2005 until quite recently.

THE CREDIT CRISIS – A BAIL OUT IS UNDERWAY

In the last two weeks there have been several capital injections into the weak banks and brokers.

Abu Dhabi has injected money into Citicorp. Ping An, the Chinese insurance company, has injected money into Fortis Bank, Citadel into E-Trade, Bear Stearns has traded investment positions with CITIC, the U.K. Government and the German Government have injected funds into U.K. and German banks. The Chinese Sovereign Wealth Fund announced that some of their money would go to capital infusions in Chinese banks. Today, UBS is getting a capital injection from Singapore and an unnamed mid eastern source.

Many investors, including sovereign wealth funds and major hedge funds are looking at the possibility of buying up assets on the cheap from banks, brokers and funds who are stuck with illiquid paper. To some, buying subprime debt at 20 cents on the dollar may qualify as cheap.

ECONOMICS

Certainly, the U.S. economy is just beginning its profits recession. U.S. corporate profits will be down for at least two quarters, and for even longer in the housing and finance sectors.

Companies will also have to deal with CPA’s being much more vigilant about making their clients write off submerged bad debts and accounting for unpriced, or mark to model investments. Therefore, it is an easy call to say that the recession in U.S. profits and U.S. GDP growth is just beginning. We can expect the news media in coming months to be full of negative news about corporate profits.

THE EASIEST SOLUTION TO SOLVING THE CURRENT PROBLEMS IN THE NEWS IS TO…CREATE MORE INFLATION

Most of the problems have to do with the bad debt clogging the U.S. financial system and contributing to a situation where credit is not available to some borrowers. This can have long-term economic consequences and should be cured as quickly as possible. The recent government intervention will not be a major part of the clean up.

For this reason, we are happy to see the sovereign wealth funds and hedge funds step up and buy heavily discounted assets at what they think are bargain prices. Will they be followed by other opportunistic investors?

The markets have been trying to determine the following:

What is the clearing price for the bad paper clogging up the financial system?

Have we reached a clearing price?

Are their buyers at this price?

When a clearing price for the hundreds of billions of unpriceable assets is found and when a liquid market has developed, then the blockages in the world financial system will unblock and the world economy will have the wherewithal to begin repairing itself. The recent purchases seem to be the first step in this process and we should have no doubt that the first step is the hardest and requires the most courage.

THE MAJOR EVENT IN OUR FUTURE IS MORE INFLATION

For the major economies of Europe and U.S. with credit problems, the short term question remains, “has a clearing price been found?” If it has, then the markets after a few months of volatility will move higher. If the price has not been found, we will likely see stock market declines until such a clearing price is found and the system can become unblocked.

Bigger economies with more problems have a longer process until the problem is cleared up and they can attract investors in large quantity. It is obvious that the current rally in the U.S. and European markets is a short covering rally. It can become a long-term rally when market participants become convinced that a clearing price for problem assets is found and transactions begin to take place.

Outside of Europe and the U.S., in countries with no big damage to their banking system, this repair can begin sooner rather than later.

The question for the fast growing, non impaired economies is how much will growth slow, and how long will it be before growth accelerates? These markets are probably good buys on the 30 to 40% declines they often get, and some of them are already close to a buy point.

We are not yet ready to buy aggressively, but we believe that the best and first opportunity will develop in Hong Kong, India, Brazil and Russia.

WE ARE CHANGING OUR VIEW OF RUSSIA

We have been negative on Russia while President Putin has been consolidating power.

Now he has the power. The country is awash in cash, and the consumer is spending. The market is cheap, and we are embracing Russia now. One big reason is that inflation is going to return to the world and return in an ugly way. Russia has gold, oil and base metals in large amounts.

SOLUTIONS TO THE CREDIT CRISIS ARE SOWING THE SEEDS FOR FUTURE COMMODITY PRICE INCREASES

In the last letter we outlined the four approaches which will probably be used to end the credit crisis. These actions will eventually create inflation and debase the U.S. dollar further, creating a very friendly environment for gold, oil and base metals. If you are a long-term investor, it is a matter of remaining patient while the normal correction takes place.

There will be more in the next memo on the inflationary consequences of the actions taken to stop the credit crisis. Long-term, all of this is very bullish for base metals, gold and energy prices, Brazil, Canada, Russia and other countries which produce precious metals, base metals and oil. Also, it is bullish for those countries which are growing faster than inflation such as China and India after correction; those two countries are currently overpriced

Thanks for listening, and we hope you have a wonderful holiday season

Budget 2010 is just around the corner and everyone is hoping to get some relief from inflation, in general, during the Union Budget for 2010 to be presented by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee in the Lok Sabha on 26th February. The common man has a lot to expect from the government in terms of sops and tax cuts. The industry experts are divided over whether our Finance Minister will fulfill the wishes of citizens or not.

Ganesha predicts Budget 2010 with the help of Vedic Astrology.

Ganesha anticipates that this year’s Budget will boost the floundering economy by focusing on fixing infrastructure, generating rural employment and providing incentives to sick sectors.

Horoscope of Independent India shows that Sun is in and transiting Sun is passing through 10th House of Aquarius and is in conjunct with Venus, Jupiter, and Mercury. Here the 10th House also represents the government’s natal House.

Also, as Sun is in the Satatarka constellation in 3rd pad and Satatarka represents Rahu on the day of Budget, Government of India is likely to take a strong stance on petroleum and gas products, silver, lead and steel. This budget is likely to have some bad news for home-makers as price of LPG shoots further up. The hike is a certainty as constellations are not supporting the product. Moreover, the Finance Minister may have to take some harsh decisions on pesticides. Power sector may experience the heavy shocks in the budget; products where atomic and other high maintenance source of energy are utilised may become more expensive. Electronic items like refrigerator and TV are likely to become a little more expensive too. Foreign liquor and beverages may also get dearer.

India’s Natal Moon is posited in Cancer. Moreover, on the Budget day, transiting Moon will be in conjunction with Natal moon in Cancer sign. This conjunction will take place in Pushya constellation in the 2nd pad. Cotton, wheat, turmeric, cable, machinery, chemicals, colors, fat will receive some valuable favour from the FM.

Natal Mars is posited in the 2nd House of Gemini and transiting Mars is passing through Cancer sign in the 2nd pad of Pushya constellation. Mars is conjunct with natal Moon, Mercury, Saturn, Venus and Sun. This suggests major reforms in the Railway Budget. The changes in prices of products like ghee, honey, computers, radios and jewellery.

Transiting Mercury and Venus will be in conjunction in the 10th House. Finance Minister may present the Budget keeping the Congress’s political agenda in mind. In this situation, Finance Minister may lionize Import-Export, Foreign Trade, National Growth and Rural Advancement. The Supreme Court may be bestowed with more powers. Some relief in Insurance sector is expected. Education will be affordable, but higher education will be pricey.

Jupiter will be transiting through the 10th House in Aquarius sign and 3rd pad of Satatarka constellation. As Jupiter is Lord of 8th and 11th Houses, Medical Policy, Health Department, Govt Loans, Bonds, Govt Securities may not receive expected benefits. Sandalwood, Gold, Diamond Jewellery and Perfumes may become costly.

Venus, Lord of the Ascendant and the 6th House of the natal chart of Independent India, will be transiting from 10th House. Therefore, Textile, Butter Milk, Betel Nuts, Liquid Medicine, Land Developers, Liquor will be in focus. During the budget, the Centre may announce new health-related programme, and upgrading of Army, Air-Force, Civil Services, Medical Services and internal security.

Saturn will transit through Virgo in Utarafalguni constellation. This will inspire our Prime Minister and Finance Minister to take some bold steps to curb inflation and improve GDP. However, despite some progressive steps, they may not get due credit. Saturn will trigger several changes in Grains, Edible Oils, Vegetables, Plastic, Mining Industry and Drug Manufacturing.

The 5th House represents stock market. After budget, there is likely to be a mood of caution at the bourses.

Moreover, Transiting Sun will be in 10th House of Independent India’s chart. Finance Minister is likely to address Tax Accumulation, Revenue Deficit, Fixed Deposit, Foreign Direct Investment Flow, GDP rate. But all this will not give any respite to the people. The central government’s policy to play safe may not work this time.

India has Natal Mahadasha of Sun – Antardasha is Moon – Pratiantardasha Jupiter. Moreover, India is under the influence of Sun’s Mahadasha. Sun is Sukkesh, therefore Tax Collection, Corporate Tax and Agriculture sector may see a tax improvement.

Let’s have a sector-wise look at the budget:

Information Technology (IT)

As Transiting Sun is conjunct with Venus, Jupiter and Mercury, the government may have to give importance to the IT sector. The Sun is in Satatarka constellation, which is represented by Rahu, and will be influencing IT sector. Thus, if IT is ignored this time, the sector may suffer a setback. Therefore, IT should have a special mention in the budget. Research and development in the Information Sector may get further boost.

Very Active, high volatility and fluctuation from 14/04/2010 to 27/05/2010

Automobile

Automobile sector is seeing a strong position of Venus and Mercury. So, this time automobile industry may receive some direct benefits. Ganesha also sees some progressive steps from the Finance Minister. Auto sector will rejoice the budget announcements and the industry has a bright future in India.

Very active, high fluctuation from 22/06/2010 to 13/07/2010

Pharmaceutical

Sun represent the Pharma Sector. Transiting Sun is going to enter 10th House of Independent India’s chart. India has Natal Mahadasha of Sun and Finance Minister will take decisive steps to encourage Pharma Industry, especially in their offshore undertakings, feels Ganesha. But the overall impact of the budget on this sector will be fairly neutral.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation from 04/03/2010 to 30/03/2010

Retail

The Finance Minister’s briefcase is likely to hold a substantial promise for this sector. Policies determining the quality of material, gradation and consumer protection are likely to be formulated or consolidated.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation from 30/09/2010 to 01/11/2010

Banking

Mercury is the planet that rules the banking sector. Transiting Mercury passing through the 10th House has become very strong. Moreover, decisive steps are expected to bring together all government and semi-government banks. The idea of Mega Banking Corporation is likely to get a boost. They can borrow funds at lower rates from international Banks and depositories. However, Mercury posited in the Dhanistha constellation is unrewarding and suggests a possibility of confusion in this sector. Also, Gemini sign is affected by Ketu and Virgo sign is affected by Saturn, so lower trading income and week credit growth will hurt the banking sector.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation from 14/06/2010 TO 24/06/2010

Infrastructure

Mars is transiting over natal Moon, Sun, Saturn, Mercury and Venus in the 3rd House. Mars is the lord of 12th House. Mars is transiting through 2nd pad of Pushya constellation and is retrograde. Thus, National Highways, Railways and Airport Authority of India can get a better security system. But, overall they may not be too happy with the budget. Privatisation and modernisation for Metros and Tier – II cities will stay on course. With transiting Ketu afflicting Natal Mars, expect some decisive steps taken by the FM on the country’s leading ports.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation from 26/05/2010 TO 21/06/2010

Metal and Steel

Saturn, the Lord of destiny and industries, will be transiting through the 5th House in India’s birth chart. The 5th House represents stock market, investment, production capacity of India. Saturn is passing through 4th pad of Utarafalguni constellation. From astrological point of view, the slow moving Saturn will put pressure on base metal prices.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation from 02/05/2010 to 19/05/2010

Entertainment

Venus represents the Entertainment sector. The conjunction of Venus with Jupiter, Sun, Mercury and Venus pass through the 2nd pad of Purvabhadra. Growth of Radio Stations is likely to continue. Broadcasting Companies may express some concern. But overall, expect announcement of simpler and favourable Tax policies by the FM.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation from 09/09/2010 to 08/11/2010

Telecom

Mercury represents the Telecom sector. Mercury, the Lord of the 2nd and 5th House, is posited in the 3rd House of India’s birth chart.
The 3rd House represents telecommunication. So in India telecommunication is always going to be a profiting sector. Transiting mercury passes through 10th House of the 3rd pad of Dhanistha constellation. This indicates a lot of unexpected changes in this sector. However, Custom Duty is likely to remain untouched by the central government.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation from 25/06/2010 TO 07/10/2010

Fertilizer, Pesticide, Agriculture

Rahu is transiting in 8th House of India’s natal horoscope. So suicidal rates are likely to increase this year. Although not by much, those dealing with seeds, agro-chemicals and drip-irrigation may get some relief. However, as Rahu dominates the entire horoscope of Independent India this year, pesticides may be the major point of debate in the Parliament.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation from 05/08/2010 TO 25/08/2010

Cement & Real Estate

Mars is transiting over natal Moon, Sun, Saturn, Mercury, and Venus in 3rd House. Mars is the Lord of 12th House. Mars is transiting through the 2nd pad of Pushya Constellation. Since natal Mars is afflicted by transiting Ketu, there can be a major change in overall expenditure. All in all, the growth story of India Inc will continue. The Finance Minster will play safe.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation from 26/05/2010 to 21/06/2010 and 01/11/2010 to 30/12/2010

Conclusion

Overall, the conjunction of Sun, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter in their transit through the 10th House on the day of the Budget indicates that the finance minister may try and reconsider tax accumulation, revenue deficit, fixed deposit, flow of FDIs, and GDP growth rate. Disinvestment of public sector units is also expected to be on the agenda. He will try to play safe and will make efforts to sustain the existing growth rate. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee will present a progressive budget for the country but will fail to garner appreciation for the same. Ganesha advises investors to trade cautiously in 2010.

Very Active, high volatility and wide fluctuation. March 9,10, 11, 15, 22, 23,29

The healthcare tourism industry has been witnessing a remarkable growth in recent years. There are a number of reasons for the continuous growth of this industry especially in the Asian and African countries. One of them being the lure of affordable medical care, along with the scope of enjoying the scenic beauty of tourist destinations. One of the renowned experts, Marvin Cetron, founder and president of Forecasting International, have marked the growing trend of medical tourism and expect it to pose a serious challenge to the Western healthcare industry in the near future.

It is necessary to have a glance over the Western medical or healthcare scenario in order to have a clear picture of the kind of competition that can crop up between the former and the Third World medical tourism industry. In some undeveloped regions of the world, the medical facilities are hard to come by, whereas in other countries, the public healthcare system is so overburdened that it would take years to get needed care. For instance, in countries like Britain and Canada, the waiting period for a hip replacement surgery can be more than a year; while in Bangkok or Bangalore, a person can find himself in the operation theatre just after landing the very same day! Not only this, the cost involving the total process is much less than that charged in Western countries. For example, a heart-valve replacement that would cost $200,000 or more in the U.S. costs a mere $10,000 in India that includes round-trip airfare and a brief vacation package as well.

Doubts are often raised regarding the quality of service offered by medical tourist destinations. But such arguments have no solid ground as the facilities and services offered by them are almost equal or even better than the Western medical services. There are hospitals and clinics that cater to the tourist market that are often among the best in the world. Most of them staff physicians who have received training from famous medical centers in United States or Europe. Bangkok’s Bumrundgrad hospital has more than 200 surgeons who are board-certified in the US, and one of Singapore’s major hospitals is a branch of the prestigious Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Statistics suggest that the services offered in some of the leading medical tourist destinations often exceed their Western counterparts. As for example, the Escorts Heart Institute and Research Center in Delhi and Faridabad, India, performs nearly 15,000 heart operations every year, and the death rate among patients during surgery is only 0.8 percent–less than half that of most major hospitals in the US. These figures are enough to clarify whatever doubts some skeptics might have on their minds.

The future prospect of healthcare tourism in developing nations thus appears to be bright as it is expected to acquire a loyal clientele in the US and other western countries. With more than 43 million US citizens without health insurance and 120 million without dental coverage, seeking medical aid outside their country would high on their priority list. Besides, there is an ever-increasing demand for cosmetic surgery and dental treatments in European countries. These operations are highly expensive out there and as such, more and more people are turning to the East for an affordable alternative. Thailand and Phuket have emerged as the most popular medical tourism destinations over the years. However, medical tourism in India is quickly catching up with this competition and is on its way to become one of the favorite spots of medical tourists. The Indian medical tourism industry is now being recognized as one of the major earners of foreign exchange and is estimated that India could bring as much as $2.2 billion per year by 2012.

Medical tourism industry is therefore all set to lure patients from all over the world. Many medical tourism organizations have set up alliances with some of the leading medical and healthcare centers like Apollo, Gleneagles Medical Center, Wockhardt, Dentzz, Fortis and so on. With their world-class support, the medical tourism industry is sure to zoom its way to success.

America has a vast array of big health insurance companies. Subscribers purchase medical coverage to compensate for the medical expenses. People take aid of companies to count for custodial care, long term nursing care requirements or insurance covering disabilities.

Both the private companies and government sponsored social insurance programs provide health insurance. In addition, social welfare programs funded by government also help in obtaining similar benefits of paying for medical expenses.

Health Insurance Firms in U.S.:

Below mentioned are some of the biggest health insurance companies in the United States:

Aetna: It is one of the biggest companies offering pharmacy, health care, group life, dental, and disability coverage. As per the latest figures, it serves 11.3 million dental members, 11.7 million group insurance customers and 13 million medical members.

The firm has expansive nationwide network of 5, 79,000 health care service providers that include 3, 49,000 specialists, physicians and primary care takers, and 3,589 hospitals.

AON Corporation Group: It has constructed broad global resources for creating innovative solutions in risk management and insurance, insurance underwriting and human capital consulting in order to help clients.

AON brings top professionals together, working across hundreds of disciplines in an integrated seamless fashion, designed for serving the clients in the most custom-tailored manner anywhere in the world. This dedication and focus has made AON, a world leader within the industry.

AMS: The MedOne Plus option permits the individuals to select an option meeting the needs and budget of an individual. It provides flexibility to individuals to select the benefits that permit them to choose deductible and co-payment levels.

In terms of medical coverage, the most popular scheme of AMS is MedOne Security. It includes co-pay facility, coinsurance options, higher popular deductibles and low premiums.

Assurant Health Services: – Formerly known as Fortis Health, Assurant offers affordable and flexible solutions for health coverage. Such dedication to service also extends to short-term coverage and small group plans. It provides dependable and quality coverage to meet the demands of its customers.

Unicare: The main reason why customers select Unicare is for its service and quality. Six years in a row, Fortune Magazine named the parent company of Unicare as the most admired healthcare firm, although each firm is responsible for its financial assets. It provides plenty of choice in its health plans. Hence, clients can tailor their plan, to fit their unique needs.

Overview:
