Markets: Should You Buy India Right Now?

The market is very high as you know. It's not as though these things are a surprise, that's one reason I'm worried about markets in many parts of the world. 

The American stock markets are trading at an all-time high. Most of the markets in Europe are trading at all-time highs. I don't like buying when things are making all-time highs.

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.

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!
