streams.        The stock currently trades for
US$0.75 a share. But, given the
broad appeal of its technology, I
look for this stock to go to much higher levels in the years to
come.        I’m recommending Xybernaut

conadora.        There are
abundant
opportunities
for investing in
international
securities. And
many
investors
around the
world are
looking to diversify their portfolios in the
global market. But creating off-
shore accounts or finding a bro-
ker overseas is complex and in
many cases costly. That’s why the
American Depository Receipt
(ADR) is a great way to add global
investments to your portfolio.        ADR’s offer many other bene-
fits. One important one is that an
ADR publicly traded in the US
must be registered with the SEC.
That means the company must
file on time and follow certain US
rules and regulations.        And, as we’ve seen in our
China Yuchai (CYD:NYSE) play,
dividends must be paid promptly
and in US dollars. Dividend pay-
ments from Yuchai are coming in
September, even if you sold for a
gain of 288% following our alert
in the 247profits e-Dispatch and
on the Taipan website.        Our other ADR plays include
Zindart (ZNDT:NASDAQ), up 27%,
Quinenco S.A. (LQ:NYSE), up
55%, and SGL Carbon
(SGG:NYSE), up 62%. Just by
adding these positions to your
portfolio, you’ve invested in
China, Germany and Chile. So you see, ADR’s offer a simple way
to diversify and invest in the
international market without hav-
ing your cash leave the US.        Another important benefit of
ADR’s is the interest they elicit
from institutional investors. You
see, many institutions are restrict-
ed from investing in companies
that don’t trade on the US
exchanges. So ADR’s are the best
way for them to participate in the
global market. With the support
of institutions, US listed ADR’s
are a good bet.        And this month I’ve found
another Chinese gem that’s both
profitable and trades for under
US$4. But I’ll get to that in a
minute. QVC junkie First, let me tell you that this is no mom-and-pop business. First-
quarter 2003 sales came in at
US$11.1 million. North America
accounts for 75% of its sales.
Twenty-seven of the largest jewel-
ry retailers in the US are among its
customers, the biggest being QVC.        QVC is nothing to laugh about.
It has an audience of 73 million
households in the US alone, with
another 7 million in Germany and
7.8 million in the United Kingdom
and Ireland. I know a number of
people who are addicted to buy-
ing on QVC.        Other big-name customers
include JC Penney, Macy’s,
Helzberg Diamonds, Wal-Mart,
Mervyn’s, Ben Bridge and Zales.
And this company also has a A Chinese gem under US$4! Siu-Yee Ng
