Hi Selva - a few things :

I have to agree with TJ about being careful about US entities, especially financial firms, if you are out side the US.

You could consider Canadian banks and brokerages as a safer alternative.

Many of TJs suggestions are based on the commodity cycle.

Some other themes could be useful - for example drug and biotech.

There are a number of European firms Roche, Novartis, Sanofi-Aventis with good portfolios and many biotech deals. Roche owns the majority of Genentech, for example, and gets to market their drugs in Europe, collecting large profits directly.

Another non - commodity theme would be the recovery and integration of the former Eastern Europe. There is an Eastern European media company with a nice long term chart - CETV -look at 3 years...

Being in Malaysia, I assume you see the various Asian economic development opportunities.

One indirect way to benefit from commodities would be owning bank stock in commodity countries, such as Australian or Canadian banks. I don't know enough about the Aussie banks, but there are a number of good Canadian banks.
