The theme for 2007 is to diversify into high growth economies, which includes both emerging and developed economies. The UK and USA are expected to slow during 2007 and better growth is likely to be found outside these countries, as was the case for much of 2006.
These are our stock picks for 2007 and beyond, the aim being to provide long-term sustainable growth rather than short-term speculative holdings, and as always do your own research before entering into any investment decisions. Also, we intend on focusing more on managed investment trusts rather than individual stocks so as to reduce the risk and this further enhance the long-term aspect of our selections.
Also see our special forecasts for 2007, for potential adjustments to entry timings - Dow Jones Stock Market forecast for 2007 , FTSE 100 Index stock market forecast for 2007 , and Emerging Markets outlook for 2007 - India, China, Russia, Eastern Europe and Brazil
Royal Dutch Shell (Oil Company) - Has had a bruising 2006, that despite the surge in oil prices, ends the year near the lows. The problems have been covered in several articles during the year and relate to the Russians putting their foot down on the controlling interest in the Sakhalin 2 mega oil & gas project. As well as continuing unrest in Nigeria, where Shell holds a third of its reserves. That's the bad news, now for the good news. The recent deal with gazprom looks set to have 'mostly' solved the russian problem.
I say mostly because you never know what next will come out of the Kremlin ! Other hidden bits of gems concerning Shell are the major holdings of Oil Sand deposits in both Canada and Australia, which reflect long term programme's that given the expected up trend in oil prices will feed through in revenue growth in the coming years.
Now Shell is a big company with a market cap of x, so growth cannot be spectacular, its no Cairn energy ! But with Shell trading on a PE of just 9.7 and a dividend yield of 3.5%, Shell is still a good long-term investment for steady growth and dividends. Even if there will be a year like 2006 when the stock price fails to perform it could see a recovery during 2007, especially if oil prices manage to hold above $60 and trend higher towards $70. A good long-term investment, with prospects of a good 2007.
Google (Tek Stock) - If you followed our last article on google of 26th November 06 - Google passes $500, Is it time to sell ? , calling for a fall in google share price, this has happened to a degree,. with google at 456. The stock still is not cheap on current earnings, and may fall further to and below $400, which represents about 11% on the share pr ice.. But on an long-term investment basis, a drop of 11%, given potential for more than 100% gains over the coming years is something that can be considered in investment terms.
A strategy into Google could be via a managed fund, of which there many or to scale into the Google stock over a several months, say buy a 3rd now, a 3rd in a months time and so on. Google is the search engine market leader, and given forward earnings growth of about 30% could continue growing for several more years to eventually above $1000.
