My Passion Has Always Been What Was Going On In The World.

"My passion has always been what was going on in the world and Wall Street was a place that would pay me and pay me well to understand the world and what was going on. I could not believe it. I would have worked for free, but I could not afford it, having no money"

If There Is War, Commodities Go Up In War.

If there is war, [America] is going to print money. If there is not war, they are going to print money and so whenever there has been money printing, the result has been that you should have your money in real assets.

It has been a pretty clear thing throughout history. The real assets are the only way to protect yourself. Real assets are basically the only way to protect yourself in time of war.

So in my view whatever happens, if the world economy gets better, commodities are going to be good because of the shortages developing. If there is war, commodities go up in war. If there is peace and there is not going to be an economic recovery for governments, they are going to print even more money, it is the western government. So depending on how things work out tonight, I would probably use this opportunity to jump in and buy more commodities.
