The Reasons I Own The Yen

I have got some money in the Yen and the reason by the way, is that they passed a law recently giving incentives for the Japanese to bring money back into Japan.

I don`t know if it will work or  not, America did that a few years ago as you may remember and huge amounts of money came back to the United States. So that is why I own the Yen.

The Fundamentals For Commodities Are Improving

As far as I am concerned all commodities are the place to be. The fundamentals for the world economy are not getting better, but the fundamentals for commodities are improving.

TPP: Free Trade Is Usually Good For Everybody

The main reason is that nobody knows anything about it. It is all very secret which is very strange to me. I am an America and America is supposed to be open and free and a democracy. That no one will tell us what is going on.

You do wonder if there is something wrong going on. But having said that, I will say that free trade is usually good for everybody involved. Everybody will have cheaper, more efficient products. In general free trade is good. I am perplexed to why they won`t tell us what is in this one.

TPP: Some People Are Going To Boom, Others Are Going To Collapse

I am sure there is plenty of stuff there that is not good for China. But so far, China has been able to adapt. I am not worried that China is going to disappear.

But when we know what is going on, some people are going to boom and some people are going to collapse.

Japan: Investing Outlook

Japan does have some serious, serious problems. It certainly has serious problems, the demographic problem is probably the worst in the world. It is the first time in their recorded history that they have a declining population and the birth rate is such that there won`t be any Japanese 100 years from now unless something happens.

You combine that with staggering internal debt, it is the highest internal debt of any country in the world and I just don`t know what is going to happen 20 years from now in Japan.

I own the currency (Japanese Yen) at the moment, I own a few Japanese shares. They do have the advantage that they are in Asia and their largest trading partner is now Asia as a whole and specifically China. So that is helping them.

Overall, I can imagine not having any money in Japan 5 or 10 years from now, unless they do something about the staggering internal debt problem and the demographic problem.

Reserve Currency: The World Is Moving Away From The U.S. Dollar

There is no question that the world has a problem with its reserve currency, the U.S. Dollar is a terribly flawed currency. The same thing occurred to the British Pound once upon a time and it lost its status. The same thing as happened to every currency in history. Will it happen anytime soon? I do not think so, but the world is moving away from the dollar.

Money Is A Complicated Product

Money is a complicated product. It can be a source of great happiness for some people but for the most people is a source of problems and misery. So I hope that everybody learns to understand money at an early age.

The first thing that children have to know about money is that it is hard to get. Second is that they should not waste it and third is that they should save. If you get those 3 basics down you got a good start.

Then you need to learn to invest it and you need to learn how to get the best returns, you need to learn how to spend it in order not to spend it unwisely.

U.S. Dollar: I Own A Lot Of Them

I own it at the moment because there is such turmoil, people will be seeking the safe haven of the U.S. Dollar. The U.S. Dollar is not a safe haven I assure you, but people think it is, so I own a lot of them.

Some Day We Are All Going To Pay The Price For All This Money That Has Been Printed

Some day we are all going to pay the price for all this money that has been printed and all this debt which has been piled on the Central Banks balance sheets and everybody else`s balance sheets. It is not going to be fun when you pay the price.

China: Nothing Goes Straight Up

China is already changing the world that we have known and it is going to continue to change the world.

Do not get me wrong, they are certainly going to have setbacks along the way. Every country, every company, every family, every individual has setbacks as they rise, nothing goes straight up. So, China will certainly have problems along the way. I do not know what or when or why or how but they certainly will.

The Chinese tourism will be one of the great growth industries in the next decade or two. There`s a billion and 300 million Chinese who have not been able to travel for centuries. Now they can and they are encouraged to.

The Next Economic Crisis Will Be Terrible

The next time we have an economic problem in the U.S. it is going to be terrible because the debt has gone up very much.

Asia is a creditor region, a low cost place to do business, taxes are lower, people save and invest here, the savings rate in China is over 35%, in the U.S. is 2 percent. We have to face the facts.

Investment Opportunity: Russian Government Bonds

In my view the Russian Ruble is making or has made a bottom. Likewise interest rates in Russia, if the Ruble is bottoming and interest rates are about to start going down again, I will get a double play owning Russian Government Bonds denominated in Rubles.

Crude Oil: Price Outlook

Normally when things collapse they wiggle around for a while, rally and then they test the bottom, they test the lows again a few days, weeks or months later. And that may be what crude oil is doing now.

I will point out that I keep reading all sorts of bad news about oil but it does not go down to new lows. In my experience when there is a lot of bad news and something does not go down anymore, it means the bottom is forming.

Successful Investors Do Nothing Most Of The Time

Most of the time many successful investors do nothing. They are either waiting to find things and I have used the expression, wait until something where there is just money lying in the corner and all you have to do is to go there and pick it up.

Wait for a good opportunity, in other words, and if you find a good opportunity you will probably do most of the time waiting too, waiting for it to develop and mature. You need of course to check it all the time to make sure it is still correct, but most of the time, I do nothing and many, many successful investors do nothing most of the time.

I Bought More Chinese Stocks Recently

You may remember China is my largest country of shareholding. I do own a fair amount in amount, I am not selling, I even bought more recently. It looks like there is a bubble developing and bubbles always end badly. But before they end people can make a lot of money on the upside.

Gold: When to Buy

There has not been a washout yet, a shake out. Too many people who believe that gold is Holy and until some of them give up and throw gold out of the window... I hope I am smart enough to buy when that happens. That can be under 1,000 dollars an ounce. Gold has not been down 50 percent in years, most assets go through 50 percent corrections every 4 or 5 years.

Gold: Haven`t Been A Buyer For 5 Years

I am not buying gold or silver at the moment. I own them both and have for a long time. I haven`t really been a buyer of gold for about 5 years. Not for technical reasons, because I do not know much about technical analysis. But I do know that gold went up for 12 years in a row, which is unusual and so the consolidation is being unusual too.

Emerging Markets Part 3: Places To Look Now

Places you can look now, one is Iran. They will probably be terrific eventually. Some of the African countries, Kazakhstan is opening, these are not big markets and they are just starting to open up and change.

If you want to be early, Cuba. There are only 9 million people in Cuba, what can you do? It`s never going to be China.

What I Am Buying In Russia

I am buying Russian shares, I do buy the ETF and on Monday I bought an agricultural company. I have also been a director of a fertilizer company because I am bullish on agriculture and I am bullish on Russia. Most recent things (I bought) are agriculture in Russia and also some Russian government bonds in Rubles. The Ruble collapsed and interest rates are very, very high in Russia right now.

Investing: What To Do After A Few Losses?

Every time I lose money, I wish I had done it differently. Of course I say, "Why didn`t I do it differently?"

When you have a few bad things in a row, I stop to figure out what is going wrong. You cannot just say because the moon is wrong or the starts are wrong. You have to figure out and that to may be a time when you should do nothing for a while so you can calm down and not get too bogged down in the mistakes that you have made.
