March 23 (Bloomberg) -- The next “bull-market” rally has begun, Templeton Asset Management Ltd.’s Mark Mobius said, refuting predictions that the equities meltdown will continue.
“Stocks are building a base for the next bull market,” said Mobius, 72, who helps oversee about $20 billion of emerging-market assets at San Mateo, California-based Templeton. The fund is finding “bargains” in every emerging market, which are in “better shape” than developed economies.
Templeton is looking for companies that are “cash-rich,” have low debt and higher dividend yields, Mobius said in a Bloomberg Television interview from Hong Kong. Mobius said he’s looking for companies that can invest for future growth yet have cash left to pay shareholders.
The MSCI Emerging Markets Index has gained 23 percent since reaching a four-year low on Oct. 27, outperforming the 2.5 percent drop in the MSCI World Index and 9.5 percent decline in the Standard & Poor’s 500 Index.
Emerging markets made up the 10 best-performing stock benchmark indexes this year, with China’s Shanghai Composite Index topping the list with a 26 percent gain.
Brazilian oil company Petroleo Brasileiro SA, Cia. Vale do Rio Doce, the world’s biggest iron-ore producer, and Chinese oil producer PetroChina Co. are among the top holdings of Mobius’s Templeton Emerging Markets Trust.

makopp5 (☼Travelguide writer) says on Mar 22, 2009, 21:37: Colombia is exporting a little bit of oil, but it´s not too much. Longerterm it has great potential. In how many places it was not possible to explore for oil in Colombia and now it´s possible.

bickerss says on Mar 22, 2009, 21:45: Gringoloid - in relation to oil and continuing demand, have you read Stephen Leeb? He is very pro oil (and commodities); just read his latest book and was eye opening. Looking at Petrobas, SLB and transocean at the moment; will have a poke around to look at Ecopetrol.

Tinto (Moderator) (Trustee board) says on Mar 24, 2009, 09:03: All things considered, EC has held up very well over the last six months (the USD price on the NYSE). Oil plummeted and the dollar soared, a double whammy for a US shareholder, and it just bumped along at $16 to $18 per share.

asdfn says on Mar 26, 2009, 13:58: if we hit a bottom, its a bottom in terms of dollars, and nothing else imho. I've got leap positions to over hedge inflation and delevering in equities. I don't see one of these bets not paying off big. love the commodities story, esp energy and ag.
