Why Invest in Israel?
Check out the clip below produced by Invest in Israel, a unit of the Israeli Ministry of Industry, Trade & Labor. See what Bill Gates has to say about why he continues to invest.
With more publicly traded Israeli companies on the US exchanges than any other country except the US itself, many investors are searching today for ways to profit from this growing market. Looking around at the products used on a daily basis, one will find embedded in them key Israeli intellectual property. From voice mail to instant messaging to the firewall that sits on computers, the technological revolution of the past decades is, and continues to be, powered by Israeli technology.
The Israel Opportunity Investor (www.israelnewsletter.com), dedicated to providing in-depth research on Israeli stocks that trade on US exchanges, is now launching a monthly newsletter. This newsletter was introduced as a result of the company’s existing highly acclaimed blog, to provide investors an opportunity to profit from the entrepreneurship, ingenuity, and growth potential of the Israeli economy.
“For years, large multi-nationals like Microsoft, Oracle, Johnson and Johnson have invested billions of dollars in Israeli companies,” said IOI Managing Director and Senior Editor Zack Miller. “With our expertise we are able to uncover tomorrow’s innovators while they are still flying under Wall Street’s radar screen.”
IOI’s new service will include monthly issues of the “Israel Opportunity Investor”, timely trading ideas and stock analysis, special reports, interviews with leading Israeli Venture Capitalists and senior management of publicly traded companies– giving subscribers access to some of the best Israeli ideas around.
“With more companies listed on NASDAQ than any other country except for the United States, Israel is the focus of more and more investor attention,” said IOI Managing Director Aaron Katsman. “There are hundreds of U.S. publicly-traded Israeli companies that are little known. With a local Israeli presence, IOI has access to the senior management of these companies, enabling us to discover the enterprises with the highest growth potential, and provide this information to the investing public.”
