More From Ken Fisher

Thank the Lord the elections yacking is over. It's been a good year. Stocks and bonds are up, and economies are growing around the world. Sentiment remains grumpy and cautious, and as a value-oriented investor I am thankful for this, too. Worriers tend to fuel bull markets.

We haven't had a negative stock market return in either the 6 or 12 months following a midterm election since World War II.

It's typically a time when the volume of political noise gets ratcheted down from the blaring levels of the midterm election year. Look forward to the gridlock of the coming year, because little gets accomplished. If you hate politicians as much as I do you'll find this quiet marvelous. Markets do!

So imbibe some holiday cheer. And if you aren't big on toys, buy your offspring and grand-offspring holiday gifts that will keep giving, like the stocks below.

I've long loved emerging markets airlines because they usually sell at bargain prices. The troubled history of developed market airlines unfairly taints these stocks. In the emerging world they're growth stocks.

In the Jan. 18 issue of FORBES I recommended Chile's leading airline, LAN (LFL, 31), at $16 and China Eastern Airlines (CEA, 28) at $18 adjusted for a 2:1 split. On Nov. 2, 2009 I recommended TAM (TAM, 24), Brazil's leader, at $13. Both TAM and LAN are holds in my book.

CEA is still worthy of purchase at current prices. It is aggressive, gaining market share, well managed and growing nicely, yet sells at ten times my estimate of 2011 earnings and one times trailing revenue.

New money buyers should focus on Brazil's second-biggest airline, Gol Intelligent Airlines (GOL, 15). While TAM is Brazil's established high-quality airline with premium pricing, Gol is the new low-cost up-and-comer. Gol now controls 40% of Brazil's seating capacity with over 800 daily flights to more than 61 South American destinations. It's much cheaper than TAM at six times my estimate of 2011 earnings, 1.5 times book value and 80% of annual revenue.

Buy Danish FLSmidth & Co. (FLIDY, 8). It represents the whip end of the materials comeback in the economic expansion. The company provides engineering services to cementmakers, especially in the emerging markets. It's particularly strong in India, where it has over 3,000 employees.
