India Should Finally Open Up Their Economy

I'm looking for I would expect a three and a half of 4 percent deficit more this year I don't know if they'll announce that they'll probably announce 3 percent because they always make it sound better than it is so the deficits going to get bigger thinks it would make me happy would be opening up the Indian economy finally but they're not gonna do that and they're not gonna listen to me.

India: The Debt Will Go Higher

As you know there's an election next year and like every election everywhere in the world throughout history everybody is going to get a little present. The debt will go higher the budget will not be balanced. They may say they're going to balance the budget but it's going to get worse. (WisdomTree India Earnings Fund ETF (EPI))

Gold: I Don't Think It Will Breakout

I don't think it's going to be a breakout year for gold. I still think there will be opportunities in the future to buy gold lower. It's been almost seven years since the high. Sometime in the next year or two I certainly expect for gold to make a low and then to start going higher and higher.

US Treasuries: How China Will Play

If I was in Chinese I would say "No, I'm going to wait until I need to play the card to start selling the US Treasuries." If they need to take an action they won't have any bonds to sell. At least if they own a lot of Treasury bonds they can say to America, "If you do that we're going to sell your bonds."

Everybody Should Be Selling US Treasuries

Everybody should be selling US Treasuries. We had a bull market since 1981, that's 36-37 years. I don't own any long term US Treasuries, everybody should be selling them for economic reasons as well as for any other reason that they might have.

Market Report: Bitcoin, Crude Oil, Sector Investing

Crude Oil: Known Reserves, Fracking, Price 

In my view, crude oil is making a bottom. It's a complicated bottom. We will look back someday and say, in 2014-2018 crude oil made its bottom. Known reserves of oil everywhere continue to decline except for fracking but the fracking bubble burst a few years ago. Now people know that fracking is not magic and that people can lose money in fracking. 

Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies:

I repeat what I said about IBM and computers, the people who invent something do not necessarily become the ones who succeed but we do you that the world has a money problem.

Sector Investing: Agriculture

The agriculture sector has been a disaster for 35 years. Things are so bad. The average age of an American farmer is 58, the average age in Japan is 68. And do you know that the highest suicide rate in the UK is in the agricultural sector?
