Exchange Controls In The US

We may even have exchange controls in the United States the next time the US Dollar starts going down dramatically. I am sure they will impose exchange controls in the US.

Higher Interest Rates Will Cause A Market Collapse

The central banks have already told us that interest rates are going to go higher. America has already raised interest rates a few times. So far there has been no collpase in the markets but that is because interest rates are not high enough to hurt people, yet. Interest rates are going from zero or from negative in some cases to up a little bit but not enough to hurt yet but when they get higher it is going to hurt. Then everybody is going to suffer.

Trump Will Not Start A War With North Korea

I cannot imagine Mr. Trump is going to start a war with North Korea but who knows. He bombed Syria for no reason, he bombed Afghanistan for no reason so who knows what he might do if he gets angry one morning and if he does it, it's going to be very very bad for all of us.

GST Is Good For India

I want to emphasize that in the short term GST is going to cost a lot of money and a lot of time for a lot of people because it's such a huge change but in the long term it's one of the best things that's happened in India in a long, long time. I'm delighted, I'm surprised but it's good for India and therefore good for the world. (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM), WisdomTree India Earnings Fund ETF (EPI))

Air India Should Be Privatized

Well, not much has been done except GST which is a huge thing. I hope that they will privatize Air India I'm not sure why that's a big thing for Indians. It will 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 very good service to Indians and foreigners.

Emerging Markets: GST Is Going To Change India Completely

GST is a miracle! l I am very surprised it went through and it's going to change India completely. It will make it in the long run, it will make it cheaper and more efficient for most businesses. I'm very very surprised! (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM), WisdomTree India Earnings Fund ETF (EPI), Sensex)

Q: Would You Invest Right Now In Europe Or In The US?

I would rather invest in Russia if you consider that Europe, it is an European country. Russia is probably one the better places to invest now. (Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX), iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM))

Gold Will Skyrocket

Gold (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD)) is going to go up big time before this is over. We’re going to have turmoil in the financial markets in the next few years and gold (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD)) will skyrocket. I am not buying gold now because I expect it go down first.

The Sanctions Against Russia Have Helped Russia

In many ways the sanctions against Russia have helped Russia. It has created an agricultural boom, as agriculture is a very strong growth industry right now. It also pushed the Russians together with the Asians and when you go through Moscow or St. Petersburg airport now the Asians are everywhere, (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM), Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX))

Russia: A Hated Market

Russia was hated 3 years ago. Nobody was putting any money there. Well, I was, but most investors weren’t. It’s got to get better and it is getting better, because Russia is getting better. (Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX))

The US Dollar Will Get Overpriced

People will be scared and the US Dollar will get overpriced and may even turn into a bubble before it's over but then when everybody starts saying, "wait a minute this is crazy", when they start looking at the real fundamental situation then they are going to dump their US dollars and we're going to have a gigantic gigantic crisis.

Why Russian Bonds Are So Attractive

The yields on the Russian government bonds are very high. An investor can get 10 percent in Ruble bonds and in my view the Russian Ruble has stabilized, so it’s a lot better than getting 2 percent in American government bonds.

Russian Agriculture Is Very Prosperous

Russian agriculture is prosperous because nobody can sell to them (due to the sanctions) and they can’t buy any agriculture products from us, so their agriculture is booming. (Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX))

Some US Stocks Are Turning Into a Bubble

Some stocks in the United States are turning into a bubble. The bubble is going to come and then it's going to collapse. You should be very worried.

The Federal Reserve Will Not Save The Market

What's going to happen is they're going to raise interest rates some more then when things start going really bad people will call them and say, "You must save us, the Western civilization is going to collapse" and the Federal Reserve who's made up of bureaucrats and politicians will do something, so they will try but it won't work, it would cause some rallies but it won't work this time.

US Economy: No Signs Of A Recession Yet

I don't see one at the moment but the problem is they always come when you're not expecting them. I would suspect during this year or next it's going to start somewhere that we're not watching. Whether it's Illinois, a pension plan or Madagascar who knows. It's going to start somewhere and then we'll know. But if you look out the window now, everything's great and that's a dangerous sign.

The Worst Market Crash In My Lifetime

In 2008 we had a problem because of debt, the debt in 2008 was nothing compared to what's happening now. In 2008 the Chinese had a lot of money saved for a rainy day. It started raining and they started spending the money.

Now even the Chinese have debt and the debt is so much higher. The Federal Reserve's balance sheet is up over five times since 2008. It will be the worst thing in my lifetime.

What's Going To Trigger The Next Market Collapse

It could be an American pension plan that goes broke and many of them are broke as you know, it could be some country we're not watching, it could be all sorts of things. It could be war, unlikely to be war but it's going to be something. (SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF (DIA), SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM))

Stock Market: Crash Later This Year Or Next

What's going to happen is this going to continue, some stocks in America are turning into a bubble the bubble is going to come and it's going to collapse and you should be very worried.

A Bubble Is Forming In Amazon (AMZN)

Stocks in the US are overpriced a bubble is forming in Amazon (AMZN) and things like that but it was not a bubble yet no, no.

Eventually The Junk Bond Market Is Going To Collapse

I know that the junk bond market is going to totally disintegrate someday but I'm hopeless in market timing. I know it's going to fall apart someday but in the meantime because my market timing is so hopeless I'm losing money but eventually the junk bond market is going to collapse.

The Most Dangerous Words In The Investment World

You see throughout history all bubbles look the same, all market tops look the same, all credit tops look the same. You have to get the timing right of course, but when you see everybody buying X you have to start saying well, wait a minute, I've seen this before when you see everybody saying it's different this time but it's never different this time.

The most dangerous words in the investment world are it is different this time. It ain't ever different this time, you know. I'm not the first person to figure that out when you see on the radio or the TV or the internet that everybody is doing something I hope that a little bell goes off in your head and says well, maybe it is better to start thinking about going the other way.

Are Great Traders Born?

I don't think you go to school to learn to be a great trader, either you have it or you don't.

India: Large Debts Means Not Being Able To Grow Rapidly

India has a lot of debt, the Indian government doesn't like to talk about them but the debt the GDP ratio is very very high in India and it's getting higher and higher and higher that usually means you cannot grow at a rapid rate.

The US Dollar Is Going To Get Overpriced

The US dollar is going to get overpriced and it might even turn into a bubble as the turmoil gets worse and worse. At that point I hope I'm smart enough to sell my US Dollars and buy something else.

How To Look For Potential Investments

You look out the window, you look at the market, you read the newspapers, you listen to the investor's podcast, whatever. Wherever you see that people are down on something and it's depressed and there may be an investment opportunity there.

Agricultural America is pretty depressed right now as you probably know and maybe it is an area where there's a opportunity but just because something's depressed that doesn't mean you should be investing there because it can stay depressed for a long, long time. You have to find a change that's taking place and change doesn't happen every day. But if you can find something cheap and if you can find a positive change, maybe you should do more homework and find a potential investment.

Gold Is Not A Currency, Just A Commodity Like Any Other

There is no simple answer in the investment world. It's a combination of everything and that's the case with gold and everything else. Gold has been around for thousands of years, gold has had many periods when it's been in a bull market and many periods when it's been in a bear market. It's just another investment. I know that many people think it is a currency but gold is just another investment like everything else, just another commodity like everything else. Go back in history and you will see that gold is just another investment like everything else whether we like it or not. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX))

When I'll Want To Invest In Gold

When they say I never want to invest in gold (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD)) again as long as I live that's when I want to invest in gold that's true of many things you know when everybody gives up and throws it out the window that's usually a good time to buy anything including gold and so far as there were too many people who loved gold. 

Gold Has Not Had Enough Of A Correction

You know gold has not had enough of a correction yet for me and there's still too many gold bugs out there and when they give up I hope I'm smart enough to buy gold. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX))

Agritrade Resources Is Intriguing

Agritrade Resources is intriguing to me since it is in coal business which most people don’t like and it is in Indonesia, which some people don’t like also. (Jim Rogers has taken an advisory role to the board of Agritrade)

Gold Has Not Had Enough Of A Correction Yet

If gold collapses to $950 an ounce I would rush in and buy a lot of gold. Price is the main determinant. Time also, if this was 2019, I would rush in and buy some gold. Gold has not had enough of a correction yet and there are still too many gold bulls. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD))

Markets: The Chinese Economy Will Slowdown

The Chinese economy will certainly slow because its customers are slowing. Some parts of the Chinese economy have a lot of debt and that is going to cause problems in China. (iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index ETF (FXI), iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM))

Stock Market: The Impact of Higher Interest Rates

Higher interest rates are definitely coming from the market  and from the Federal Reserve and what that does to the stock market, we will see.

Traditionally, when the Federal Reserve raises interest rates three times you should become very worried and on the fourth you should not be worried, you should run for the hills.

These Commodities Are Bottoming

Agriculture, oil and base metals are in the process of making a bottom. We will all look back in a few years and say, "what a good opportunity that was." (PowerShares DB Agriculture Fund (DBA), Nymex Copper Futures, Nymex Crude Oil futures, United States Oil Fund LP ETF (USO))

Gold Is Trying To Find A Bottom

Corrections and rallies are very common in all markets, does not matter what the market. What we are seeing is the process of gold trying to find its bottom. In my view it is not here yet. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX))

India: Not One Of My Favorite Stock Markets

India is not one of my favorite stock markets (one of the reasons being) it is at an all-time high. I do not like to buy stocks when markets are at an all-time high as I do not want to get on a moving train because when you do that you will get hurt. (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM), WisdomTree India Earnings Fund ETF (EPI))

Markets: There Is Nothing Really Cheap In India

I do not really know about the valuations in the Indian stock market at the present time but I do not know of anything that is really cheap in India. (iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM), WisdomTree India Earnings Fund ETF (EPI), Sensex)

The Party In Stocks Will End Soon

The Indian stock market is not the only one going through the roof, look at European stocks and the US indexes. I think the party in stocks will end soon, but I am very, very bad at timing it.

The Future of Money: Bitcoin, Digital Currencies

Will it be Bitcoin? I don't know. But it's going to be electronic money and over the computer. One of the reasons is because politicians do want to get rid of cash. They don't like us all having cash because if it's cash they don't know what we're doing with it. Maybe your are going to see your girlfriend or maybe we're drinking whiskey or buying marijuana or something they want to know. 

They want to control it so if all our money is electronic the politicians can completely control us and so therefore their favor of getting rid of cash. So it's going to happen. I'm not in favor of it by the way, you know, I want to go have a drink with you, give it to my girlfriend or something else but they don't like that.

Markets: US Dollar, Gold, Silver & Chinese Currency

The US Dollar is going to go higher as the turmoil increases worldwide. As the US Dollar goes higher, gold and silver will probably continue under pressure. At some point the US Dollar will get overvalued may turn into a bubble. I will have to sell my US Dollars and I will put my money into gold and silver or maybe the renminbi the Chinese currency which by then should be convertible. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV))

You Should Be Buying Russia, Not China

At the moment you should buy Russia and not buy China. I still own China, I am still bullish but if you are looking for something to buy, Russia is still very cheap. Russia is one of the most hated markets in the world, it is very, very hated as you know. (Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX), iShares FTSE/Xinhua China 25 Index ETF (FXI))
