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.

******

I see you went to INSEAD. You might want to consider Avreva, the French atomic energy company, which has all the pieces needed, from uranium to decommisioning, to build nuclear plants.

Another area would be some of the smaller French oil companies which are active in Africa, as possible speculations. Crossy sometimes covers these on his board.
