Markets: Rallies Will Be Short Lived

The rallies will be short term lived but the central banks are not very smart, so they will do their best to fight against the markets, to make the markets go up. Unfortunately for them the markets have more money than the central banks and the markets are smarter than the central banks. The people at the central banks are academics and bureaucrats and they do not know what they are doing.

Markets: The Next Couple Of Years Are Going To Be Bad

Yes, we are entering a period of very bad financial markets, most financial markets. There will be times when central banks will get scared and panic and try to make the markets rally, and they will rally. But basically I am afraid the next couple of years are going to be bad for financial markets.

Stock Market: This Has Been Going On For A While

The American stock market was actually down last year. If you go to the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) there were twice as many stocks down as up, I repeat, in the NYSE in 2015 there were twice has many down as up so we have been having problems for a while. The averages have been supported by 8 or 10 stocks that never go down or never did go down but the average market was down last year. This has been going on for a while.

Markets: 2016, 2017 Will Not Be Good Years

2016 and 2017 will not be good. Partly because of the mistakes the Central banks have made in the past, they are going to do their best to hold things up as you can see, they already have, the Bank of Japan and others.

But unfortunately I am afraid we are all going to pay the price, I am not particularly happy about it but they have made a lot of mistakes in the last 18 or 20 years.

Investing: If People Laugh At Your Idea You Are Probably Very Right

People often say I am nuts when I tell them to invest in something, which is good. When you find people saying that you are nuts or laughing at you, or ridiculing you, you are probably very right.

Why Own Physical Gold

I own physical gold because it is easily transportable, it is portable, everybody recognizes that it is valuable. Likewise, silver. I expect to see much higher prices of silver, gold, all commodities, all natural resources over the next decade. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV))

Markets: How I Invest

The best thing to do, at least my way, everybody has their own way, my way is to find things that are cheap, that are ignored and hopefully find if there is a fundamental change taking place and then I try to buy. If I am right I am going to make a lot of money, if I am wrong I am probably not going to lose too much because it was so cheap to start with. So it is unlikely that I will lose money or a lot of money. Do not think I have not made a lot of mistakes in my life. I made a lot of mistakes in my life, but that is how I do it.
