We Will Have A Sovereign Debt Crisis Before 2024

We are certainly going to have a sovereign debt crisis between now and 2024. Are you kidding? We will have all sorts of crisis maybe even serious war, probably serious war by then as the situation gets worse and worse people will lose confidence in governments. I am more worried about the next 8 years than you are!

The Next U.S. President

Whoever is elected President, even if Mother Teresa is elected President, the debt will keep going through the roof. Unfortunately it can happen because they can continue to debase the currency. You may have a pension coming to you of 1,000 dollars a month, you are going to get your pension but in worthless money. And they will pay their debt in worthless money.

I Cannot Imagine Buying Bonds Anywhere In The World

I am short junk bonds and I would not buy bonds, I cannot imagine unless it is a very special situation. I cannot imagine buying bonds anywhere in the world except maybe for short term Russian bonds just because the yield is so high. But I cannot imagine buying bonds anywhere.

The Bond Bull Market: Coming To An End?

The bond bull market has been going on for 35 years. It started, the bottom was on September 1981, so it has been going on for over 34 years now. And yes, it is coming to an end. You may have government bonds go higher for a while just as panic takes place. I am short junk bonds in the United States and you are right, they are going down now, some more than others obviously.

We are making a top in interest rates but that does not mean that if and when the Federal Reserve panics again that interest rates will not go down some more. But we are making the top. Not sure about sovereigns because I expect so much panic that many people will pile into them as they are piling into the U.S. Dollar.

German Bunds: Can Yields Go Even Lower?

Of course it can go lower, but will it? I do not have a clue. As I said before, central banks will panic and they will do whatever they can to "save the world". But they will not save the world.

Unfortunately, after 8 years of this madness we are paying the price. Wether we pay the price in 2016 or 2017...we are certainly going to pay the price.

If Markets Get Worse, Central Bankers Will Come To Play Again

I know what will happen is as the markets get worse, Mrs. Yellen and the people in Washington are going to get a lot of phone calls saying, "You have to save civilization because the world is coming to an end". They are bureaucrats and academics, they do not know much of anything and that is why they work for the government. They will panic and they will d soothing. They will do more than they did in the past because it did not work in the past.

Crude Oil: Production Is Being Cut

It is happening but many oil wells you just cannot close them down, in the North Sea for instance, many Russian oil fields you just cannot close them down. First and second of all, many people do not believe when prices are down, it takes a while for it to stink in that they really want to close their fields.

But its happening, its happening now, massive cuts are being made in exploration budgets, it is happening.
