Investing: Agriculture Stocks, Sugar

I am not buying stocks, I am looking at agriculture products, sugar, I have some orders in to buy Sugar Futures again. Sugar has been bottoming here for 2 or 3 years and I suspect sugar will be great in the next 2 or 3 years. I am looking at agriculture products, not agriculture stocks. If I come across a good agriculture stock, of course I will buy it.

Markets: "It is going to be worse than 2008"

It is going to be worse than 2008, you are going to see bankruptcies, the debt is much higher all over the world now than it was 8 years ago. Even China now has a lot of debt which did not have in 2008. I am afraid we are going to see a lot of problems, everybody`s debt is going through the roof, money has been printed, be worried.

Since When Is Inflation Good For The World?

Since when is inflation good for the world? I have read lots of history books and economic history books and I have never heard except in the last decade people advocating inflation. Inflation is usually something that people tend to stay way from and if you want to use the Japanese example, the Japanese stock market today is down 60 percent from its all time highs, 26 years ago. If you want to use Japan as an example I am afraid we got a long, long period of problems ahead of us.

The Federal Reserve Will Try To Come To Our Rescue Again

I am worried about the gigantic debt in the U.S. as a start, and second I am certainly worried about the Federal Reserve because because what more can they do? What will probably happen is we will start having problems again wether this month, in the spring or in the summer, the Federal Reserve will panic, they will try to come to our rescue again, they will print more money, they will lower interest rates if they can. The Federal Reserve is not out of it yet. The Federal Reserve is the one making this problem and making this worse and worse and worse. Capital is being misallocated.

Investing: "I Am Not Short U.S. Treasuries"

I am not short U.S. Treasuries, I am short U.S. stocks, I am short U.S. junk bonds. The spreads between Treasuries and junk bonds got to be very, very narrow. So I am short junk bonds but not Treasuries.

Interest rates will be going higher in the U.S. little question of that, wether the Federal Reserve takes them up or the market takes them up. We have had this artificial level of interest rates for a decade now and this has to change.

Markets: Long China, Long U.S. Dollars & Short U.S. Stocks

At the moment I am short the United States and long China, as far as the stock market is concerned. I do own a lot of U.S. Dollars, many more U.S. Dollars than any other currency. I prefer to be long China and short the U.S. than the other way around. That does not mean that there will not be problems in China. China trades with everybody in the world and if everybody in the world has problems and they are starting to have problems, such as Japan, Korea, some of the other countries, China will too.

Bankruptcies in China Will Scare A Lot Of People

There is no question that there is now debt in China. In 2008 whn the world had a problem, China could help bail us out because they had gigantic money saved for a rainy day and they spent some of that money. America spent a lot of money but we did not have any money saved up, we just printed it and borrowed it. Yes, there is a difference in the world between 2016 and 2008, is that China does have debt now but nothing like America, Britain or Portugal or some other countries in the world.

You are going to have bankrupcies in China, at least I hope we are going to have bankruptcies in Chin, I hope that the Government lets them go bankrupt and that is going to scare a lot of people and de disruptive.
