Buying Opportunities In Japan, China and Taiwan

I bought stocks this week in China, Japan, Taiwan so I see opportunities on the long side in markets. That doesn't mean I'm right. A bear market may start today but I see opportunities. But if you're worried about that you need to know how to sell short. Great fortunes can be made in a bear market selling short.

The Worst Bear Market In A Lifetime

What I have said was that we will have a bear market again some day.  Now, Janet Yellen says we wwill not, she says everything is okay now and there won't be any more economic problems. I happen to disagree with her and I know we will have bear markets again.

What I said was the next one we have when it comes is going to be the worst in my lifetime, the reason for that being in 2008 we had a problem of too much debt,  the next time around the debt is so so so much higher, so the next time we have a bear market is gonna be the worst in my lifetime.

The Use Of Stop Losses

Some of the smartest people I know use stop losses, whatever number they use. I have never used stop losses but I frequently wish I had. In fact the more I read the more I think "maybe I should start using stop losses", I don't have anything to lose much by doing a stop loss and it might help me a lot.

Bitcoin: The World Has A Money Problem

We know the world has a money problem of various sorts. We know that everything has been changed by the computer  and will continue to be. So, yes the computer and the Internet are going to change money as we know it. If you go to China right now, people don't have money. It's astonishing the minute they buy a cup of coffee they put their phone on the thing and there's a cup of coffee paid for.

The Worst Financial Crisis In Our Lifetimes

We're going to have the worst financial crisis in our lifetimes because of the debt. There is no question that the debts are now staggering. We've never seen the likes in the world and in Japan they have zero interest rates, negative real interest  rates so if interest rates ever go up to 2%, it totally destroys Japan.
