Top 5 China Stocks To Invest In Right Now

tags:APDN,OHRP,WPZ,LFUS,NEE, Twenty-five years ago, I experienced my first "Melt Up" as an investment professional...   It. Was. Awesome.   And then...   It. Was. Awful.   There's nothing like actually putting your hand on that hot stove to really feel the fire. And I was right in the middle of the fire...   In late 1993, I was a young stockbroker in the U.S., specializing in international stocks.   I didn't know it yet... but man, oh man, I was in the right place at the right time.   It might sound hard to believe, but the big story in 1993 was China... Investors absolutely had to get in.   As a young stockbroker, I quickly learned that you almost never get incoming calls from strangers looking to open an account with you.
