Investors See The US Dollar As A Safe Heaven

I do own the U.S. dollar. People see it as a safe haven, but it is not a safe haven. But people think that, and so therefore I own the dollar. There is more turmoil coming out of Europe and other currency markets, so people, when they try to look for a place to flee, they flee to the dollar, so I fled to the dollar, too. The dollar is terribly flawed, terribly flawed over the next few years, so be very careful. - Moneynews.TV

Acknowledge The Complexity Of The World

“Acknowledge the complexity of the world and resist the impression that you easily understand it. People are too quick to accept conventional wisdom, because it sounds basically true and it tends to be reinforced by both their peers and opinion leaders, many of whome have never looked at whether the facts support the received wisdom.

It Won’t Surprise Me If Gold Goes Down Much Lower

What I said was, if gold gets to $1100 or $1200 or $1300, I would hope I’m smart enough to buy more. I don’t know if it’s going to go there or not. I may buy it at $1850 if war breaks out with Iran. It depends on what happens in the world. What I said was that it won’t surprise me if gold goes down much lower; that’s normal for the way markets work. And if it goes there, I hope I’m smart enough to buy more. But if it goes to $1,550, I would probably buy more.

If Anybody Thinks There’s A Bubble In China, They Haven’t Been Doing Their Homework

It was a bubble in urban coastal real estate. But China, for the past three years, has been trying to pop that bubble. And the bubble has popped. You could certainly go down further, but I wouldn’t say there’s a bubble there now. Prices are coming down, transactions are coming down and people are losing money. I don’t know how long China will stay tough. I would hope they’d stay tough much longer, because they’ve got to kill inflation too.

The very best way is to go and become a farmer. Buy farmland and become a farmer, because then you are going to get huge paybacks.
