Super Investor Ken Heebner Likes the China Trade

It seems that this guy is betting big on Chinese demand for raw materials still staying up.

These days Heebner is keeping close tabs on the latest economic data out of China, because China is the key to his enormous bet on commodities. As of March, 64% of Focus's assets were invested in commodities-related stocks. His biggest stakes are in steel (ArcelorMittal, Nucor, and United States Steel) and in oil (Apache, Devon Energy, Petrobras, and Schlumberger). Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company that has announced two giant offshore oil discoveries, is his favorite. "Petrobras could become the biggest stock in the world," he says.

I like the steel stocks especially Nucor and I have seen multiple sources pushing Schlumberger so his shortlist looks like something worth checking up on.
