I Don't Want to Own Equities Right Now
"I do not really want to own equities right now. I owned a fair amount of Japanese equities. I sold most of them two weeks ago. I am not very optimistic about equities because you see what happened in Japan when people started getting worried about the end of the artificiality.

You just wait and the whole world has to face its problem."
