Robert was born in Taiwan, speaks Mandarin fluently and reads and writes Chinese. But what really sets him apart from other investing experts is his rich history of investment success and his understanding of what’s happening across Asia today. While employed with Goldman Sachs, Robert learned a great deal about international markets, equities, interest rates, currencies and commodities markets. Since then Robert has started his own money management firm, Absolute Return Capital Advisors.

In order to stay on top of investment opportunities across Asia, Robert visits China regularly, as well as employs a boots-on-the-ground team of analysts in China to provide him with up-to-the-minute details on what is happening.

Robert’s advice is that now, more than ever, investors looking to build their wealth must look outside of the U.S. for real and sustainable growth. To attain superior absolute return in the new century, buy-and-hold U.S. stocks are just not going to deliver the profits that he thinks every investor should expect. And in looking to make the biggest returns, Robert’s found that the single best place to find great returns is China, where the economy continues to grow almost 10% a year.

With the major U.S. indexes closing another week with a loss, many are wondering if the bottom is near and if it's time to start buying again. The good news is that things are looking up for investors who are trying to capitalize on China stocks.

China’s Hot Topics

It's no surprise that everyone is wondering when the current market volatility will end. I don't blame anyone for asking this question. Just in January, we experienced 16 days in which the Dow jumped up or sold off more than 100 points. This is bad enough, but when you take into consideration that there were only 21 trading days in the month, the picture gets a bit more frightening.

Adapt Your Strategy to the Choppy Market

I've been asked many times in the last few months if we're heading for a recession, and I believe that there will likely be a major slowdown, but it remains to be seen if there will be a full-blown recession. Recent economic and earning sdata confirm that the U.S. economy is slowing down significantly. This certainly adds to the probability of a recession, but it isn't the final nail int he coffin.

Investment Opportunities of Olympic Proportions

By Robert Hsu, InvestorPlace Contributor Jan 15, 2008

There were many investment trends that we followed and profited from this year, and while some have run their course, others will continue through 2008. One of these just happens to be the 2008 Beijing Olympics, now less than a year away. Of course the Chinese are working hard to make sure that everything is perfect for their debut in the world's spotlight. But recently, I've been listening to the news reports and bloggers go on and on about the Beijing Olympics and how the completion of the games will bring death to the Chinese economy. I couldn't disagree more and want to take this opportunity to put that argument under a microscope and see what's really in store for China's economy post-Olympics. First of all, let's not forget that China's economy has been growing at about 10% for two decades. And believe it or not, this amazing growth spurt has little to do with the 2008 summer Olympics. The simple truth is that in China there is more innovation, technology, labor, financial capital and time (from people living longer) than ever before, and I expect these trends to continue regardless of how successful the Beijing Games are! China's booming economy is simply too hot to slow down after the Olympic flame is extinguished. There are just too many catalysts driving China's growth and few of them depend on next summer's games.
