Currencies: Bearish on The Japanese Yen

I am skeptical about the Japanese Yen. Some people consider the Yen as a safe haven when compared to the U.S. Dollar. It will be stronger then the Euro Currency (EUR) or less weak than the Euro, I should say, but I would not buy the Yen either. There is some money that goes to the Yen on the mistaken view that it is a safe haven too, but the Japanese have gigantic debts as well, their internal debts are higher than in the U.S. and it is not a place to put money.

Interest Rates Are Going To Go Higher All Over The World

Investing: Think About Farming and Agriculture

Agriculture has been a disaster worldwide for 30 years, that`s the reason I am optimistic now. Agriculture is down 31 percent in the last 19 years.

Nobody Has Ever Won a Trade War

If there is a trade war I assure you we should all be very, very worried. Trade wars through out history have never worked, nobody has ever won a trade war. (iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index ETF (FXI), SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY))

Investing: Where I Will Put More Money

One of the places where I will probably put more money is the Renminbi and/ or China. The Renminbi will probably be convertible by then (when the U.S. Dollar gets overvalued and turns into a bubble) which will make it much more attractive to international investors.
