Despite its big gains in 2006 and its outperformance so far in 2007, Barron's believes that Singapore is a great way of gaining investment exposure in Asia. In the Feb 12 issue of the weekly reasons are given as to why investors should remain bullish the stocks of the city-state and which stocks to buy. To quote the article:

"The Singapore market has even begun to outpace the bourses in Korea, Taiwan and other "Asian tigers" it once closely tracked. This divergence is only partly explained by the strength of Singapore's banking and real-estate sectors, which helped sustain the city-state through the global technology sector's recent weakness.

The extent of its outperformance -- comparable ETFs for Taiwan (EWT) and South Korea (EWY) rose just 16% and 10%, respectively, last year -- suggests something else is at work: Singapore's successful transformation into a teeming financial hub, with a rising profile as the gateway to Asia's booming economies."

Below are stock picks from the article, along with more direct quotes.

"Singapore's push to become the Switzerland of Asia has impressed even Felix Zulauf, head of Zurich-based Zulauf Asset Management and a member of Barron's Roundtable: "I think it will become the offshore financial center of Asia." He picked the Singapore ETF as "a classic way to play the rise of Asia, and the mania I see coming" (see "2007 Barron's Roundtable, Part 2," Jan. 22). Although the ETF's recent surge makes it vulnerable to a short-term correction, it has the potential to roughly double by 2010, says Zulauf."
