Emerging Markets Will Suffer

Not all emerging markets are the same but most will be affected by the rise of interest rates in the United States. But it will only be a temporary worry because history shows it is only the third or forth increase in interest rates that one really has to worry.

The first rate increase hurts, the second rate increase hurts but the markets usually recovers. I would suspect emerging markets including India will be affected when they raise interest rates in December but there will be a recovery. After that be very worried about 2017 and 2018.

The U.S. Stock Market May Turn Into A Bubble

I own very few shares anywhere, none in the U.S. in fact I am short in the U.S. although I am reassessing that now because it occurs to me that all the money is going to flee into the U.S. Dollar now, so that may mean that the U.S. stock market can turn into a huge bubble as it did in the 1920`s.

Alternative Energy Is Not Competitive

There is alternative energy but it is not very competitive if crude oil is at 50 dollars a barrel. Most alternative energy has to be subsidized by some government wether it is sun power, wind power, they are not great yet.

At 300 dollars a barrel for crude oil they will be very competitive but at the moment we have 50 dollar a barrel oil. (PowerShares WilderHill Clean Energy ETF (PBW), United States Oil Fund LP ETF (USO), Nymex Crude Oil futures)
