As Bloomberg’s Simon Kennedy recently reported, economists are predicting that an acceleration in the U.S. will “provide less oomph abroad than it once did.” A few quick reasons: 1. America is focusing on greater demand and production at home, 2. The U.S. holds a shrinking share of worldwide GDP and 3. We are also tapping more of our own energy. Those factors are notable for a big reason — they’re “mega-trends.” In other words, they are trends that not only are expected to have a powerful effect on various markets, but they also should last for years, possibly even decades.
That means the companies behind them could be perfectly positioned to make a nice buck or two over the long haul. The following three companies could each see their fortunes vastly improved thanks to one of these mega-trends: General Electric (GE), The Dow Chemical Co. (DOW) and Martin Midstream Partners (MMLP).
