The Next Bear Market

In 2008 we had a big problem because of too much debt. Since 2008 the debt everywhere has skyrocketed. Many people have talked about austerity but nobody has done any austerity.

The debt everywhere it's much, much higher than it was then. The America's central bank balance sheet alone has gone up 500 percent in those eight or ten years.

Markets: Russia, China, Japan

I am still buying shares in China, Russia, Japan and some parts of the world if I find something good. The US stock market is at an all-time high and I don't particularly like buying things at all-time highs.

Cyber Currencies: Governments Will End The Party

I'm not as convinced about cyber currencies in the future. I know that all of you are smarter than every government in the world smarter than every politician in the world but having said that...I'm of the view that most of them will not fit succeed and maybe all of them will disappear. 

And the reason I say that, the main reason I say that is because governments don't like losing control. You're smarter than every government in the world but they have the guns whether we like it or not and if the government's come down and say OK guys this party is over?

China and the US Should Work Together More

China and the US are the largest economies in the world. They're both vibrant, dynamic economies. They could work together and really be very, very rich. 

They're two very important and rich countries. If they work together instead of fighting each other over foolish things can you imagine the two countries working together how exciting and prosperous both would be?
