Venezuela: Exciting Things Are Happening

Exciting things are happening in Venezuela right now. They're always places in the world that are turning the corner. When you read the headlines you must learn to look beyond the headlines to see what's really happening. 

Venezuela is a horrible disaster. It's one of the worst disasters in the history of mankind, yes. But they know it too now. They're smart enough to know that they've made many mistakes and they're starting to change. They now have removed exchange controls. Unbelievable for a country like Venezuela! They're starting to try to figure out, "Oh my gosh what do we do next?" That's when you buy. You find a country that's at the bottom when changes are starting to take place. At times Venezuela has been one of the richest countries in the Western Hemisphere and it will be again.

Korea Will Be The Most Exciting Country In The World

Korea is probably going to be the most exciting country in the world once North Korea opens which will and very soon. I mean it's right on the Chinese border, 80 million people, natural resources, cheap disciplined labor... It has lots of things going for it.

Agriculture Will Be A Good Place To Invest

Agriculture has been a disaster. In the past 30 odd years Agriculture has been a nightmare. 

The average age of farmers in America is now 58. Nobody wants to be a farm. More people in America study public relations then study agriculture because it's been a horrendous place to be. The highest rate of suicide in the UK is in agriculture.

It's been a nightmare so it's going to change. We've had long periods in history when the agriculture, the producers of real Goods have been an on top followed by long periods when the financial types have been on top but it always changes and is changing again.

Emerging Markets: Zimbabwe

I'm buying Zimbabwe. You know, Zimbabwe was ruined for 40 years by a crazy dictator. There's a new guy, he may be worse, he may be better but he's certainly different. So, you should think about Zimbabwe if you're looking for something to buy.
