India: The Reforms Undertaken By Modi

Well not much has been done except GST which is huge, which is a very, very big thing.

I hope that they will privatize Air India. I'm not sure why that's such a big thing for Indians. It would be better for India, it would be better for Air India if they have to be efficient and competitive instead of being a protected industry and not offering a very good service to Indians and foreigners.

India: GST Will Make India More Efficient

GST is a miracle! I'm very surprised it went through and it's going to change India completely.

In the long run it will make India cheaper and more efficient for most businesses, it's great for India  and I'm very, very surprised.

Investing: Unified Korea

Japan's against it because Japan knows they cannot compete with a unified Korea, America is against it because they they don't want to have to take their troops out of there. But for the world it's going to be very very exciting when it happens. (iShares MSCI South Korea Index Fund ETF (EWY))

Unified Korea Will Be An Exciting Country

I'm looking for ways to invest in the eventual unification of Korea. One of two things is going to happen.

There's going to be a war and that's the end of North Korea, the whole Korean country will be unified and will be a great investment or it's not going to be a war and there's going to be a peaceful unification eventually.

Either way a unified Korea is going to be the most exciting country in the world for a decade or two.

It's right on the Chinese border, 80 million people with cheap, disciplined, educated labor in the north plus lots of natural resources, fabulous infrastructure, capital, management ability in the south. It's going to be a very exciting country!

I'm Very Bullish On Russia

I first went to Russia in 1966 as a student and I came away saying this will never work and came away bearish for the next 48 years. But now I'm very, very bullish on Russia.

Russia is certainly a hated market there's no question and whenever you find a hated and something there is changing for the better and I find changes have taken place and are taking place in Russia then I would suggest you to put some Russian Rubles in your pocket or you might try the Russian ETF that might be even better than the Russian Rubles but I own both.
