How To Invest: Buying Hated Markets

You are supposed to buy hated markets, you buy what is hated, you do not buy the popular stuff, you buy the depressed stuff.

Russia: When I Will Buy Again

I am not buying Russia at the moment but as soon as Crude Oil prices stop going down, I hope I am smart enough to buy a lot of Russian Rubles, a lot of Russian government bonds and maybe a lot of Russian equities. (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM), Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX))

Precious Metals: If I Had To Buy One, It Would Be Silver

At the moment, Silver (iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV)) is cheaper than Gold (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), I mean, historically Silver is down 70-75% from its all-time high, Gold is not down so much. At the moment if I was buying one, I would buy Silver but I am not buying either.

Forex Market: I'm Skeptical About The Japanese Yen (JPY)

I am skeptical about the Japanese Yen. It will be stronger than the Euro, or less weak, but I would not buy the Japanese Yen.

The U.S. Dollar Is Going To Continue Go Higher

The U.S. Dollar is going to go higher and may even turn into a bubble before this is over if things get as bad as I think they will.

Currencies: The Euro Will Continue To Go Lower

The Euro will continue to go lower, I`m afraid. Of course, there will be rallies along the way, nothing goes straight up and nothing goes straight down. Basically, I would not own the Euro.

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.
