Investing: "I Am Not Short U.S. Treasuries"

I am not short U.S. Treasuries, I am short U.S. stocks, I am short U.S. junk bonds. The spreads between Treasuries and junk bonds got to be very, very narrow. So I am short junk bonds but not Treasuries.

Interest rates will be going higher in the U.S. little question of that, wether the Federal Reserve takes them up or the market takes them up. We have had this artificial level of interest rates for a decade now and this has to change.

Markets: Long China, Long U.S. Dollars & Short U.S. Stocks

At the moment I am short the United States and long China, as far as the stock market is concerned. I do own a lot of U.S. Dollars, many more U.S. Dollars than any other currency. I prefer to be long China and short the U.S. than the other way around. That does not mean that there will not be problems in China. China trades with everybody in the world and if everybody in the world has problems and they are starting to have problems, such as Japan, Korea, some of the other countries, China will too.
