Long Term High, Wild Enthusiasm. It`s Time To Go The Other Way.

Usually, when something has a 20-year move up or down, it is wrong and ready to reverse. I am talking about the big picture now - whenever something is at a long term high and everybody is wildly enthusiastic, it is time to go the other way.

Precious Metals: Look At Silver And Platinum

Silver is 70% below its all-time high. Gold is making new all-time highs. I think people should perhaps look at silver, platinum, palladium. Palladium is also 50-60% below its all-time high.

We Are Going To Have Another Recession In The Next 2 Or 3 Years

We are certainly going to have another recession in the next two or three years. We have had recessions every four to six years since the beginning of time. So by 2012, we are getting ready to have another one, if history is any guide. I suspect it will happen before then, because there are still so may imbalances in the world which have to be sorted out.

UK Outlook

"I am put off by the gigantic debts built up in the last few years by the previous Government. The numbers are truly staggering. The UK has had a balance of trade deficit for the last 25 years which has been growing over the years. It used to rely on North Sea oil to bolster its international earnings coupled with the City of London being a financial centre. But as these have declined I don't see anything replacing this revenue stream. I think the balance of trade and debt levels will get worse."

The United States Is The Biggest Debtor The World Has Ever Seen

(The US) is the biggest debtor the world has ever seen. But what really worries me is that some states, counties and cities have been or are on the verge of going bankrupt.

California is much larger than Greece and we've seen the fallout from the Greek debt crisis. A lot of promises have been made in these cities and states from both the public and private sector and these have been papered over. Greece has been going on about its debt for a decade and people weren't paying attention. The same is happening across the US.

The Fed has already bailed out the banks and I wonder how its finances will cope once more bankrupt states and cities approach it.

Bonds are not a good place to invest in. You should own commodities because that’s your only refuge whether it’s silver or rice.

I Have Not Been Buying Stocks For At Least A Year And A Half

I have not been buying stocks for at least a year and a half. Lying ahead I see more currency turmoil and the world economies' problems have still not been sorted out. I moved to Asia as I see massive opportunities here compared to Europe and the US.
Many Asian economies have been powering ahead while the rest of the world suffered. But Asian economies can't pull the world out of its hardships. Even with China and India booming these can't save the day for the rest of us. As Europe continues to have its problems everybody else is affected.
