WATCHIN' THE WHEELS GO ROUND AND ROUND

I'VE HEARD SOME BOLD STOCK MARKET PREDICTIONS IN MY DAY. You know the kind I'm talking about. The ones that are so bold, so brazen, that when they hit your ears you think to yourself, "What's this guy been smoking?" That's exactly what I thought when I saw crazy Henry Smith boldly predict "DOW 20,000" on CNBC during the height of the bull market in 1999.

The last I heard about him, he was still huddled in the fetal position inside of his firms' bathroom.

And what about Henry "Pump-and-Dump" Blodget's famous prediction that shares of Amazon would rocket to $400 per share? After good-ol Henry got that call right, his fame reached new heights.

He was then recruited by Merrill Lynch who must have known that his powers of persuasion would help their big clients to dump billions of dollars of worthless stock on a trusting public who believed he would call another Amazon. Yup, bull-market- tops and bear-market-bottoms have produced many a good Carnival Barker whose outsize predictions can cause much heartache.

And folks, that brings me to the point of my discussion today. I heard a prediction recently that was so bold, so agressive that I spent the past two weeks checking into it before deciding to share it with you.

Here, ladies and gentlemen, is the boldest financial prediction I've heard all year:

"JAPAN’S $3 TRILLION POSTAL PRIVATIZATION IS LIKE THE 'BIG BANG.' IT WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON FINANCIAL MARKETS."

Now 3 Trillion dollars in liquid cash would be the "Big Bang" for any stock market, especially a stock market like Japan's, which has been in the doldrums for close to twenty years. But what was even more surprising than the actual prediction was the source of the prediction. No, it wasn't Henry Blodget (a broken person is right twice in a lifetime -- he still has some years to go). Nor was it Henry Smith (still in the fetal position sucking his thumb).

Nope, the person that made this prediction wasn't a person at all -- it was an institution. An institution that is very well respected and admired for its objectivity and respect for the facts. The name of the group making the predicition was the "Japan External Trade Organization." Just think about that for a moment. This normally reserved and quiet group of egghead wonks making such a bold prediction.

That would be like Alan Grenspan jumping onto the table during a Congressional hearing and doing Michael Jackson's mooonwalk before spinning around and yelling "He, He!" Pretty heavy indeed. But that's not the half of it. Since releasing our Special Report on Asia Wednesday to members of Fallen Angel Stocks, the response has been overwhelming. That's right.

"THE GANG OF THREE"

The three countries set to benefit the most from this awesome China Boom are JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA and SINGAPORE.

Japan, along with South Korea and Singapore, is about to formalize a Tri-Lateral free trade agreement with China that will create the world’s largest trading bloc, second only to the North American Free Trade Agreement. It’s called the East Asian Community, EAC for short, and it will create a freer flow of trade and investment just like NAFTA did.

Over the next 20 years it could make the EAC the single most dominant global economic power. The trilateral free-trade agreement will link the world’s largest group of consumers (China) with the world’s second largest economy (Japan) and the region’s leading manufacturing power, South Korea along with the banking giants of Singapore (regarded by many as the “Swiss” bankers of Asia).

The profits generated by Japan, South Korea & Singapore through this agreement will be staggering." Indeed. The question is: Which stocks do you buy?
