Where To Invest Next

I am looking for what to do in the future. I own Russia, I want to buy more Russia. I am looking at Kazakhstan as a place to invest, there are really exciting things taking place there in Kazakhstan. Iran but its very difficult for Americans to do business in Iran in the stock market. Nigeria, I am looking at, exciting things are taking place. I have not invested in either of those places yet but these are places where I think there are exciting opportunities. (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM))

We Do Not Have Any Deflation, We Have Inflation.

There is no question that oil prices are down, which means that if you go to the gas station you pay less. But maybe you do not do any shopping, maybe your butler does your shopping. The rest of us we know that insurance prices are up, education prices are up, entertainment prices are up, automobile prices are up.

Very, very few things that anyone can name that are actually down. The Government tells us that there is no inflation that people write to me all the time and ask me where does the Government shop?

Gold: Not Buying Right Now

I am not buying gold at the moment. I am waiting for another opportunity to buy gold, it may not happen, it certainly may not happen. But I own plenty of gold. I am looking for a new opportunity, let`s say the central bankers save us for a while, that the markets go up  for a while, often gold will go down in a scenario like that. That would be an opportunity to buy gold. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX))

A Cashless Society Is Not Good For You

There is going to be a cashless society but that is not for your benefit, for my benefit, for the readers benefit. That is for the politicians benefit, so that they can control your money even more, every cent you have, where it is, what you did with it, if you bought your girlfriend a chocolate box they will know about it. So this is not good for you and me.

If they say that they are going to take your money all they have to do is a computer blip and they have your money, one stroke of a key and your money is gone.

The Reasons I Sold The Japanese Yen

I owned some Japanese Yen (JPY) for a while, I sold it last Friday as a matter of fact. I am out of the Yen, it is not as safe for most people as the U.S. Dollar and they are printing a lot of them. They said we will print unlimited amounts of money.

Markets: High Beta Trades On China

I am long China but I would prefer to buy Russia (Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX)) than Brazil (iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (EWZ)) going forward.

Emerging Markets: Not Investing In Brazil

I think there are better places to invest than Brazil (iShares MSCI Brazil Index ETF (EWZ)). I am not investing in Argentina either. I heard this before from Argentina, they always get it wrong. But things will be better in Brazil because oil prices are going up, agriculture prices are going to go higher but the management of the country, the politicians are even worse than American politicians.

Forex Markets: EURUSD Will Go Below 1.0000

The EURUSD will go below 1.0000, there is no question about it. When the turmoil comes and some of the turmoil will come from Europe because some European countries have problems and the ECB will print a lot more. That will make things much, much worse. If you have people starting pulling out, say Greece pulls out, say Great Britain pulls out, then people will start panicking about the Euro, they dump the Euro and the U.S. Dollar goes higher.

Brexit: I Would Vote To Stay in The EU

I would vote to stay, definitely. First of all, to try to trade with Europe without being in the Common Market is not going to be good, it is not going to be helpful.

And Britain is already in decline over the past few decades, it has huge debt. If you are going to have more difficult trade, it is not going to help you.

Whoever is elected President, even if Mother Teresa is elected President, the debt will keep going through the roof. Unfortunately it can happen because they can continue to debase the currency.

The Bond Bull Market: Coming To An End?

The bond bull market has been going on for 35 years. It started, the bottom was on September 1981, so it has been going on for over 34 years now. And yes, it is coming to an end. You may have government bonds go higher for a while just as panic takes place. I am short junk bonds in the United States and you are right, they are going down now, some more than others obviously.

We are making a top in interest rates but that does not mean that if and when the Federal Reserve panics again that interest rates will not go down some more. But we are making the top. Not sure about sovereigns because I expect so much panic that many people will pile into them as they are piling into the U.S. Dollar.
