Excerpt from Martin Weiss;,,,,

We knew China’s economy is still ballooning 11.5% a year — at least three times faster than ours ...

... But these new numbers — fresh out of Beijing — are a shocker:

Sales of household electronics jumped 31% ... car sales exploded 36% higher ... and Wal-Mart’s China sales skyrocketed an unbelievable 45%!

China’s voracious appetite for natural resources is intensifying!

The Chinese government has just announced that disposable income exploded a staggering 13.2% in cities and a mind-blowing 14.8% in rural areas!

More importantly, Beijing’s new numbers prove that Chinese consumers are spending their newfound wealth like crazy:

• Retail sales have jumped an amazing 18% since this time last year!
  
  
• Sales of clothes, electronics and automobiles have shot more than 30% higher!
  
  
• Purchases of meat, poultry, eggs, grain and edible oils have surged more than 45%!
  
  
• Plus, sales of household electronics jumped 31% ... purchases of clothing and shoes soared 33% ... car sales exploded 36% higher ... and Wal-Mart’s China sales skyrocketed an unbelievable 45%!

Is it any wonder that precious metals ... construction and manufacturing materials ... and even food commodities have been on a tear?

More than 1.3 billion new consumers in China ... another billion in India and hundreds of millions more in emerging markets all over the world are buying just about everything that moves!

This soaring demand alone is enough to drive oil and gold to one new all-time high after another ... to drive copper, steel, nickel and other raw materials into the stratosphere ... and to send grains and other food commodities through the roof ... throughout 2008 and even beyond.

Throw in the fact that the U.S. dollar is plunging again on world markets — and you can see why we say that this great bull market in natural resources still has a long, long way to go ...

And why we’ve been telling you that options on the stock of companies that produce these resources have the potential to make you richer, faster, than you may now believe possible
