The Federal Reserve Has No Clue

The Federal Reserve has no clue on what they are doing. They will ruin us all. Why? Because they have driven interest rates to levels which have never seen before and the rest of the world followed. This is all going to end very, very, very badly!

Russia: When I Will Buy Again

I am not buying Russia at the moment but as soon as Crude Oil prices stop going down, I hope I am smart enough to buy a lot of Russian Rubles, a lot of Russian government bonds and maybe a lot of Russian equities.

Precious Metals: If I Had To Buy One, It Would Be Silver

At the moment, Silver (iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV)) is cheaper than Gold (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), I mean, historically Silver is down 70-75% from its all-time high, Gold is not down so much. At the moment if I was buying one, I would buy Silver but I am not buying either.

Forex Market: I'm Skeptical About The Japanese Yen (JPY)

I am skeptical about the Japanese Yen. It will be stronger than the Euro, or less weak, but I would not buy the Japanese Yen.

The U.S. Dollar Is Going To Continue Go Higher

The U.S. Dollar is going to go higher and may even turn into a bubble before this is over if things get as bad as I think they will.

Currencies: The Euro Will Continue To Go Lower

The Euro will continue to go lower, I`m afraid. Of course, there will be rallies along the way, nothing goes straight up and nothing goes straight down. Basically, I would not own the Euro.

Currencies: Bearish on The Japanese Yen

I am skeptical about the Japanese Yen. Some people consider the Yen as a safe haven when compared to the U.S. Dollar. It will be stronger then the Euro Currency (EUR) or less weak than the Euro, I should say, but I would not buy the Yen either. There is some money that goes to the Yen on the mistaken view that it is a safe haven too, but the Japanese have gigantic debts as well, their internal debts are higher than in the U.S. and it is not a place to put money.

Interest Rates Are Going To Go Higher All Over The World

There is no question that interest rates are going to go higher all over the world. We have a very artificial situation with interest rates at zero, negative interest rates in some places. That is not normal and it will not last!

Nobody Has Ever Won a Trade War

If there is a trade war I assure you we should all be very, very worried. Trade wars through out history have never worked, nobody has ever won a trade war. (iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index ETF (FXI), SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY))

Investing: Where I Will Put More Money

One of the places where I will probably put more money is the Renminbi and/ or China. The Renminbi will probably be convertible by then (when the U.S. Dollar gets overvalued and turns into a bubble) which will make it much more attractive to international investors.

One Strong Reason To Be Bearish On Bitcoin

Unfortunately I am afraid that the use of Bitcoin or any other digital currency will not be very successful because in the end governments are going to decide which electronic money you use.

What will happen is that the U.S. Dollar will first get overpriced and if it keeps going, the U.S Dollar may even turn into a speculative bubble.
