"Bloomberg recently reported that China has recorded two straight months of reducing its holdings of Japanese debt; t.his suggests that the Japanese yen has reached the point where it's become too 'strong' for its own good -- or at least for China's taste," says global stock specialist Keith Fitz-Gerald.

The editor of The New China Trader explains, "Considering China has become the world's de facto financier, we'd be wise to pay attention.

"In any industrialized nation, it's important for people to have post-secondary education in order to be attractive in an increasingly competitive workplace," says China stock specialist Keith Fitz-Gerald.

The editor of The New China Trader explains, "And that is just as true in China as anywhere else in the world. That's why I returned to an old favorite, ChinaCast Education Corp. (CAST), on my recent trip to Beijing.

"The firm offers accredited degree programs to approximately 32,700 traditional university students and 143,000 E-learning students throughout China.

"China is quickly becoming the global leader in the development and production of alternative energy technologies," says Keith Fitz-Gerald.

The editor of The New China Trader suggests, "One way to play the trend is with Advanced Battery Technologies (ABAT), which engages in the design, manufacture, and marketing of rechargeable polymer lithium-ion (PLI) batteries.

"Founded in September, 2002, Advanced Battery Technologies is officially based in New York. However, it also keeps executive offices in Beijing and Hong Kong, while its manufacturing facilities are in China -- so for all intents and purposes this is a Chinese company.

"You've undoubtedly noticed gold's run up; but you may have missed the serious gains coming from gold's underappreciated sister -- silver," suggests Keith Fitz-Gerald.

The editor of The New China Trader explains, "To play this trend, we are buying Silvercorp Metals (SVM), which engages in the acquisition, exploration, development, and operation of silver mining properties in Canada and China.

"Much of China's continued economic growth is going to be fueled by rather mundane stuff, like aluminum, which is why we think it is time to consider Aluminum Corp. of China (ACH)," says China stock expert Keith Fitz-Gerald.

The editor of The New China Trader explains, "Based in Beijing, Aluminum Corp. -- also known as CHALCO -- is the world's second-largest alumina producer.

"According to Pittsburgh-based aluminum giant Alcoa, Chinese consumption of aluminum is expected to grow by 21% in 2010. Growth in the rest of world is only expected to increase by 6% over the same time.

"Even though Beijing has wisely been pulling back on the reins, China is still on pace to achieve growth in the neighborhood of 8% in 2010," suggests Keith Fitz-Gerald.

The editor of The New China Trader explains, "That means slew of building projects (all of which require steel). And that should be great for General Steel Holdings (GSI) , a long-term favorite that's ripe for new money.

"Building projects are only part of the story. China is in the process of dismantling (and consolidating) a decades-old steel industry.

"Booming Internet usage is creating unprecedented global demand for wireless data service; and mobile data usage is the fastest-growing segment of the communications market worldwide," says Keith Fitz-Gerald.

The editor of The Money Map Report explains, "My experience tells me that we are witnessing the early stages of what is rapidly becoming a self-sustaining cycle that's a long way from saturation. One beneficiary of this trend is our latest featured stock, Tellabs (TLAB),

"What's really putting this trend front and center is the growth in what's called "converged devices." These are things like smart printers, Skype-enabled PDAs, embedded laptops, and machine-to-machine devices.

In the wake of the incredible volatility of recent days, we turn to several leading financial newsletter advisors, asking "Where's the market going from here?"

Here's an updated assessment -- as well as some select investment ideas -- from Elliott Gue, Richard Moroney, Nicholas Vardy, Keith Fitz-Gerald and Mike Cintolo.

We begin with Elliott Gue, editor of The Energy Strategist, who asserts, "Don't panic. Selling into a panic-driven market is one of the worst and most costly mistakes you can make as an investor. I do not believe the fundamentals justify the downside in my recommended stocks, nor do I see this ballooning into an outright crash or collapse.

"There's a reason companies that pay stable, outsized dividends can be so profitable in uncertain times; dividends provide you with an instant litmus test of value; they show you whether a company is making money; and they reflect how seriously management takes its responsibility to shareholders," says Keith Fitz-Gerald.

The editor of the Money Map Report explains, "Altria Group (MO) is a dividend machine. Right now, the stock yields 6.9%. And there's more than enough business to sustain such a high payout rate."

"It is estimated that countries around the world are set to spend between $25 and $30 trillion of fresh infrastructure investment over the next two decades," says Keith Fitz-Gerald.

In his The Money Map Report, he explains, "As the de facto global leader providing all things related to power and automation technology, ABB Ltd. (ABB) is poised to potentially ride a 20-year wave of extraordinary profits."

"China is spending $200 billion over the next few years to upgrade its rail system, and those new projects will be literally laying on a bed of cement," says Asia expert Keith Fitz-Gerald.

The editor of The New China Trader adds, "This could lead to enormous growth potential for any cement company that Beijing involves in the process -- such as China Advanced Construction Systems (CADC)."

Despite a 46% gain since adding iShares MSCI Brazil (NYSE: EWZ) to his portfolio, global expert Keith Fitz-Gerald still sees upside potential. Here's the latest from Money Map Reporter.

"History tells us that the best gains come to those who have the courage to buy undervalued companies in the face of extreme pessimism – and that sounds a lot like right now. So while we may not be at the very bottom, we are nonetheless pretty darn close.

"One Chinese sector being relatively ignored by Wall Street is the biotech industry," notes Keith Fitz-Gerald. In The New China Trader, he looks to a biotech speculation -- Sinovac (AMEX: SVA).

"The government knows that the wheels could fall off the bike rather quickly if average Chinese citizens begin to see a dramatic reversal in their health and happiness.

"Throughout the credit crisis, we've focused on Kinder Morgan Energy Partners, LP (NYSE: KMP) -- and we've not been disappointed," says Keith Fitz-Gerald in The Money Map Report.

"With the economy in the toilet and prices in the hopper, the notion of going 'long' energy right now might seem like a move that will lower our portfolio returns over the long haul. Not true. In fact, now's precisely the time that you want to establish or add to an energy position.

"Energy is not only an ideal hedge against rough markets, but more importantly, as I have noted repeatedly in recent months, one of the most concentrated upside opportunities available today.

"The markets are littered with compelling buying opportunities that may be the best we see in a generation," says Keith Fitz-Gerald.

In The Money Map Report, he looks at a trio of income ETFs -- one focused on Treasury inflation protected securities, one invested in muni bonds, and one that buys high yield corporates.

"We are holding three positions in our portfolio which we believe can be bought with new money. First, we suggest iShares Lehman TIPS Bond ETF (NYSE: TIP). The 10 year TIPS' yield is 2.23% versus 2.40% for 10 year Treasuries.
