Gold And Silver Will Be A Bubble Some Day

I remember when gold went parabolic in 1980; I shorted it in 1980. It eventually collapsed. Gold and silver will be a bubble some day as will all commodities but doesn’t think it will happen in 2011, likely a few years away. - in GuruFocus

Will Silver Reach 100 USD?

If it does there is a bubble and we will have to sell. That would be a parabolic move and all parabolic moves end badly. I hope it doesn’t happen because I own silver and want to buy more. I hope they continue to go up in an orderly way for another 10 years. If triple-digit silver hit this year I would be selling.

I worry about silver, not parabolic yet, I hope something stops it going up. I don’t know what could cause a correction, but you never know what could cause a correction. All parabolic bubbles pop.

Maybe the U.S. dollar becomes confetti and silver goes to 150 USD — that would be a U.S. dollar collapse. - in GuruFocus.com

People Should Have Been Buying Gold And Silver 10 Years Ago

What has gotten people’s attention is that gold has been going up and up. That is the wrong way to invest. I own gold and silver, but it was five and ten years ago that they should have been buying gold and silver. Most investors don’t notice something until there is already a nice bull market underway. There will be more people buying gold, eventually everyone will own gold and then we will have to sell our gold. But that is a long way from now. - in GuruFocus.com

If Bonds Go Up Another 3 Or 4 Points, I am Going To Sell Short

If the bond goes up another 3 or 4 points, I for one am going to sell it short.

I just think at some point along the line, people are going to realise it's absurd to lend money to the United States government for 30 years in U.S. dollars at 3 or 4 or 5 or 6 percent interest.

I mean the market is just going to give up. Once the Federal Reserve stops buying bonds I'm not sure who's left to buy bonds at that point. - in Reuters Insider

The Chinese Property Bubble

The China boom continues. The China prosperity continues. I notice it spreading. The property boom continues to spread. I see that more and more. But of course, there are those who think that it’s a property bubble, including me – at least I think there is a property bubble in coastal cities. The government is trying to pop that bubble as you know and I presume that they (will) pop the bubble. The Chinese government has enough authority and control that they can pop something if they really mean it. We’ll see. - in Forbes Blog

If China Opens Its Currency Market Everything China Imports Will Go Down In Price

I think it’s better for China to open its currency market as soon as possible. This is not 1981; this is 2011. China is a strong and independent country now, and they don’t have to worry about the currency.

It would be good for China and the 1.3 billion Chinese. Everything China imports will go down in price. You have to have a convertible currency to have a strong international economy. - in China Digital

My Children Are Going To Own My Chinese Shares Some Day

If China collapses and the stock market has a big drop, I hope I’m smart enough to buy more Chinese shares. My approach to China is that my children are going to own my Chinese shares some day.

China: The Only Thing I Worry About Is Water

The only thing I worry about is water. China has one of the worst water problems in the world. Unless you solve your water problem, there’s no China story. I’ve been around the world a couple of times, I’ve seen whole cities, societies and countries disappear because of water problems.

The amount, quality and supply of water could lead to the end of China’s story if the problem is not solved in time. - in chinadigitaltimes.net

The US Dollar Will Be Debased A Great Deal In The Future

Everything I have told the world about gold and silver is going to continue to happen. Eventually gold will be a couple of thousand dollars an ounce, and probably much higher, as currencies become more debased, who knows how high.

Silver will definitely reach new highs. As I have said, the US dollar is in serious trouble, and will be debased a great deal in the future, and eventually will be problematical itself. So gold and silver will be measured by the US dollar but I hope there will still be some sound currencies no matter what happens. - in www.commodityonline.com

The Euro Is A Political Currency Rather Than A Economic Currency

I didn't say that the world needed the euro, I said it would be good for the world; we need something to compete with the US dollar. On paper the euro would be a great competitor. However, as I have said before, it is a political currency rather than an economical currency, and I would suspect that this pushes the euro closer to a moment of truth.

The Germans are now in control and they will be able to make everybody toe the line. The Germans expect to hold the euro together during this period of pain, and I hope they can. As I have said before, the world needs something to complete with the US dollar. I would expect the euro will survive this particular round of problems, and this will be good for the world and the euro in the long run. - in LewRockwell.com
