Investment Opportunity: Agriculture In The US

Agriculture in America is pretty depressed right now as you probably know maybe an area where there's an investment opportunity. But just because something is depressed doesn't mean you should be investing there because it can stay depress for a long, long, long time. You have to find a change that's taking place as well. Something can be depressed from 15 or 20 years, you have to find the change and change doesn't happen every day but if you can find something cheap and if you can find a positive change maybe you should do more homework and find an investment.

Gold Is Just Another Commodity

Investing is qualitative, quantitative, it's everything. I mean, I wish it was that simple. I wish you could just look at turn to page 37 and say ah there's the answer. There is no simple answer in the investment world, it's a combination of everything and that's the case with gold and everything else. Gold has been around for thousands of years, gold has had many periods when it's been in a bull market and many periods when it's in a bear market. Gold it's just another investment. I know that many people think it is a currency, gold is just another investment like everything else. Just another commodity like everything else.

Now there are over 2,000 and if I gave you that fact and then I showed you the charts of 100 of them or a thousand of them and they all go straight up you would say whatever what is that that's a bubble, whether it's cotton or Brazilian stocks or whatever it happens to be you would say that's a bubble. So it looks like a bubble but bubbles can go on a long time a lot you and they often do but just because it looks like a bubble doesn't mean it's the end of the story.
