Stocks Like In The 1970`s: Big Sideways Trading Range For Many Years

Stocks, in my view, in most countries are like they were in the 1970s. In the 1970s stock markets, and economies around the world did not do very much and were in a big sideways trading range for many years. We are in that kind of period now. - in China Money Podcast

Japan: It`s Cheap

2011-12-13T23:24:00.000+08:00

What I said about Japan was that the Japanese stock market today is where it was in 1983 – that’s 28 years ago and so things are very cheap. Now there are reasons that they are cheap but they are so cheap that it seems to me that people should start looking at some Japan shares because Japan has reoriented itself. They are now a way to play Asia and a way to play China. So there are going to be great buys in Japan. It’s cheap. They reoriented the economy. I am not giving up on Japan at all. - in Globe & Mail

Some Parts Of The Chinese Economy Are Going To Have A Hard Landing

2011-12-12T22:59:00.000+08:00

Some parts of the Chinese economy are going to have a hard landing. The Chinese for two years now have been tightening up. They have raised interest rates six times. They have raised reserve requirements a dozen times. Just recently they started to loosen this up a little bit but they are trying. They are trying to bring down real estate, they are trying to make real estate developers go bankrupt so you are going to have a hard landing to use your terms in things like property in China.

But other parts of the Chinese economy are going to continue to boom: water treatment, agriculture, farmers are not going to know that the real estate speculators in Beijing and Shanghai are going bankrupt because they are working too hard and making too much money so you are going to have sectors of the Chinese economy with serious problems but it’s not the whole Chinese economy. It’s not like it was here. - in The Globe & Mail

If You Own Cash, Make Sure It Is The Right Cash

2011-12-11T16:20:00.000+08:00

First, you better make sure that cash is in the right cash. A few years ago many people put their money in Icelandic krona, thought they were very safe. They had currency and they were earning high rates of interest and of course the krona collapsed and some of those people lost all of their money. So make sure you are in the right cash, first of all.

If China Collapses, It’s Not The End Of The World

2011-12-10T20:16:00.000+08:00

Well, first of all, China is a third the size of the U.S. economy. Europe and America are 10 times the size of China. So even if China collapses, it’s not the end of the world and even if China booms, it’s not going to save the world.

It’s important, it’s very important but it’s not the most important thing. China is trying to slow down and some parts of their economy are going to fail, collapse, they are going to have some bankruptcies.

Europe is certainly extremely important, what’s going on there but Europe as a whole is in much better shape than we are. Europe as a whole is not a big debtor. The United States, as a whole, is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world and we’ve got states that are in trouble – Illinois, New York, California. Europe has states that are in trouble – Greece. You know the names as well as I do. No, America is the one we have to worry about the most. - in Globe & Mail

What’s the biggest risk to the U.S. economy in 2012?

2011-12-09T20:16:00.000+08:00

Probably the Federal Reserve in America because they don’t know what they are doing. There are other risks: China is slowing down, Europe’s got serious problems. They don’t know what they are doing or how to solve it, but I would say the single worst risk is the United States central bank. - in Globe And Mail

“It has been correcting for the past three months so it is overdue for a stronger correction, but I have no idea by how much. It is very unusual for any asset to go up for eleven years in a row with no correction. I own gold and I am not selling my gold.

The price at which I buy will depend on the circumstances. If it is going down because the world is going bankrupt then it would need to be priced at 900 USD for me to buy it. If there is an artificial occurrence then maybe between 1,200 USD and 1,400 USD. It depends on what is going on in the world.” - in Investment Week

Every 4 to 6 years we`ve had a slowdown or a recession in the US ever since the beginning of the republic. So we are overdue for one in the end of 2011, 2012 or 2013.

It always happens, it`s going to happen again despite what politicians or central bankers tell you. The next time around it`s going to be very bad. - in Nightly News

2002 Was Bad, 2008 Was Worse. 2012 Or 2013 Is Going To Be Even Worse.

In 2002 it was bad, in 2008 it was worse and 2012 or 2013 is going to be worse still - be careful.

The world has been spending staggering amounts of money it does not have for a few decades now, and it is all coming home to roost. We are certainly going to have more crises coming out of Europe and America; the world is in trouble.

Last time, America quadrupled its debt. The system is much more extended now, and America cannot quadruple its debt again. Greece cannot double its debt again. The next time around is going to be much worse. - in Investment Week

Gold: Bull Market Has Years To Run

It will easily go to 2,000 dollars/ounce but it will reach 2,400 dollars/ounce over the course of the bull run, which has years to run.

It will end in a bubble when this is over. The way bull markets work is they go up and up and then by the end they turn into a bubble and that will happen to gold. That could be five years, 18 years or six years.

I hope I am smart enough to sell but when that happens it will probably double. - in CNBC
