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.

Bankruptcies in China Will Scare A Lot Of People

There is no question that there is now debt in China. In 2008 whn the world had a problem, China could help bail us out because they had gigantic money saved for a rainy day and they spent some of that money. America spent a lot of money but we did not have any money saved up, we just printed it and borrowed it. Yes, there is a difference in the world between 2016 and 2008, is that China does have debt now but nothing like America, Britain or Portugal or some other countries in the world.

You are going to have bankrupcies in China, at least I hope we are going to have bankruptcies in Chin, I hope that the Government lets them go bankrupt and that is going to scare a lot of people and de disruptive.

Global Markets: "I Am Worried About The World"

I am worried about the world in 2016 and in 2017. You have to remember, Japan which is the third largest economy in the world is in recession, officially in a recession, and many parts of Europe as you well know, there is a disaster going on in Europe.

The world economy is suffering in a lot of places and for people to blame all this on China... China is a victim more than a cause going forward. The real cause of course is the American central bank and the American government running up debt but China is a victim like everybody else.

Markets: Better To Watch Than To Own

I love India, it is a wonderful place to visit as I have said many times, I love Indians but I do not own stocks everywhere, I do not own stocks in Japan, I do not own stocks in Germany, there are a lot of countries where I do not own stocks that even have better fundamentals than India. But my view is, this is a time to be watching rather than owning.

Markets: "I Am Short These Stocks"

The greed is in the American markets that I have talked about before. Amazon (AMZN), Netflix (NFLX), those stocks never go down, those stocks are selling at staggering highs. In fact last year nearly all stocks in America were down but the average is only down 3 or 4 percent and that is because these 5 or 6 large companies never went down. So that is clearly greed, I am short those stocks but that does not mean that I am going to be right. I am short these stocks and there is where I see the most greed in the world.

Some Parts Of The Chinese Economy Are Going To Do Well

Some parts of the Chinese economy are going to do well no matter what happens to the world. If you are in pollution clean up in China you will not even know if America and Europe disappear as you are too busy cleaning up China. China is philty right now.

Some parts of the Chinese are going to do extremely well no matter what happens and that is true for India, that is true of all the world.
