Oil per capita rises rapidly during early
industrialization, then levels to rapid real
income growth. Rising world trade actually
stimulates the industrialization phase.

Chinese steel consumption is still low compared

to Korean steel consumption levels, the demand
would stay strong for 25 years at 5 growth.

are subject to change without notice. Some of
these opinions may not be appropriate to every
investor. This report may include certain
forward-looking statements including statements
relating to revenues, expenses, and expectations
regarding market conditions. These statements
involve certain risks and uncertainties. There
can be no assurance that such statements will
prove accurate and actual results and future
events could differ materially from those

risk. Gold funds may be susceptible to adverse
economic, political or regulatory developments
due to concentrating in a single theme. The price
of gold is subject to substantial price
fluctuations over short periods of time and may
be affected by unpredicted international monetary
and political policies. We suggest investing no
more than 3 to 5 of your portfolio in gold or
gold stocks. For each fund with at least a
three-year history, Morningstar calculates a
Morningstar Rating? based on a Morningstar
Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for
variation in a funds monthly performance
(including the effects of sales charges, loads,
and redemption fees), placing more emphasis on
downward variations and rewarding consistent
performance. The top 10 of funds in each
category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5 receive
4 stars, the next 35 receive 3 stars, the next
22.5 receive 2 stars and the bottom 10 receive
1 star. (Each share class is counted as a
fraction of one fund within this scale and rated
separately, which may cause slight variations in
the distribution percentages.)
