LT Investing Strategies: Global Demographic Trends
1. The world's population is growing faster than ever - in numerical, if not percentage, terms - and it's getting older.
2. The geopolitical leadership of the world is shifting.
3. The "middle class" is emerging in the developing nations, driving an unprecedented shift of wealth from the West to the East.
4. The population growth and burgeoning middle class is creating a steady rise in demand for energy and consumer products, which will keep prices moving higher.
5. Population growth is steadily magnifying the need for more food and water, which is already generating critical shortages of both in some parts of the world.
6. Human beings continue to be messy creatures, with an ever-increasing need for sanitation and waste-disposal services.
7. Despite major peace initiatives, conflict among the human race continues to persist.
8. And a mushrooming global debt burden stands as a threat to both the world's currencies and its established trade systems.
