Markets: I Am Very Pessimistic

I am very pessimistic about what is going to happen in the world. Asia, Europe, America, the central banks have been printing for 8 years now, interest rates have gone to nothing. I t never happened in world history that you had all major central banks; Japan, Europe, Britain, America printing huge amounts of money, driving interest rates to absurd, artificial levels. It is going to end and when it ends we are going to pay a very serious price.

We Are Going To Have A Serious Crisis In The U.K.

We are going to have a serious crisis in the United kingdom. The U.K. has huge debts, the U.K has a huge balance of trade deficit, the U.K. has a huge government deficit and if Scotland leaves, which they say they might, that takes the oil, a lot of the oil. They are not going to leave the oil behind. England loses a lot of its income at that point and as that develops the City of London, the financial district will come under more pressure, the Europeans are already saying, "we are going to take our financial businesses away from London now. Paris, or Frankfurt or Amsterdam or same place else is going to take a lot of that business.

The U.K. is going to be like Portugal or Poland, those were great countries once upon a time.

U.S. Stock Market: Distribution Has Been Taking Place For Many Months

When you have bear markets something comes along and triggers it, and we think it is because of it, but it is always going on underneath anyway.

So this time around if we look at the United States stock market it has been going sideways for 18 to 24 months if you look at the advance/ decline or other indicators. In many circles that is called distribution in other words the smart guys are getting out and selling to the not so smart guys.

Investing: Buying A Stock And Own It Forever

What I like to do is to buy things and own them forever.

What success I have had in investing has usually come from buying stock that is very cheap or that I think is very cheap because even if you are wrong, when buying something very cheap you are probably not going to lose a lot of money.

Of course that buying something simply because it is cheap is not good enough because it can stay cheap forever. So, you must see a positive change coming, I mean something that within the next 2 or 3 years most people will recognize as a positive change.
