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.

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.
