My case for frontier Asian markets is simple and powerful: Imagine a chance to invest right now in the China of 1980, when its wages were at rock bottom levels, and it exported in a year, what it now does every day, says Carl Delfeld of the Pacific Economic Club.
Frontier countries are far behind developed countries like Japan and America, and even playing catch up with countries like Thailand, South Korea, and China, but they are catching up fast.
Frontier markets offer investors a combination of value, huge upside, and unique challenges. As giants like China run into growing pains, higher costs, and negative returns, frontier markets are up��ropelled by easy access to modern communications, technology, and capital.
Youthful populations, and the move of workers from rural areas to higher income jobs in the cities, are supercharging growth in these economies.
This, in turn, explains why big companies from Japan, China, America, Europe, and South Korea are falling over themselves and each other to invest in frontier Asia.

At last check, BIOF hit an intraday high of $4.04 and volume was well above its three-month average action of 57,949 shares.

If that breakout hits soon, then BIOF will set up to re-test or possibly take out its next major overhead resistance levels at its 200-day of $4.63 to $5.19.
