Moxian, Inc. (NASDAQ: MOXC) Positioned to Profit from China’s Economic Shift

China’s booming economy has delivered consumer product companies some of the world’s greatest growth opportunities over the last 20 years. However, the government recently lowered its official five-year annual GDP growth target to 6.5 percent, the slowest targeted growth since the 2008 global financial crisis.

China’s consumer economy is projected to expand by about half, to $6.5 trillion, by 2020. In fact, incremental Chinese consumer growth of over $2 trillion…

Net Element (NASDAQ: NETE) Platforms of Opportunity

The transactional process of paying for goods and services has changed radically over the last couple decades. Not that long ago, cash registers and tellers were the only point of sale system in existence.
