Investors Optimism on Myanmar

We in the U.S. had numerous problems as we were rising toward becoming the greatest success of the 20th century: civil war, many Depressions in the 19th century, few human rights, little rule of law, collapse of 1907, etc, etc. Yet we went on to great success. I am very optimistic on Myanmar, but expect and welcome the various corrections which will come. There will be more.

Japan: A Disaster In The Long Term

"Japan has a very serious problem. When we look back, Mr. Abe will have ruined Japan. Huge debt levels, horrible demographics, they won’t let in foreigners, the population is declining. Mr. Abe comes along and says he’ll ruin the currency. It is a disaster in the long term, and not guaranteed to work in the short term, either." - in Business Insider

China: Their Market Is Getting To The Point It Should Be Bought

"The only way the China story runs into big problems is if they run out of water. China has a major water problem. They are working hard to solve it. I believe they will solve it.

Their market is getting to the point it should be bought." - in Business Insider

The Investment World Will Be Disappointed With The Notion That Supply Is So Great That Oil Will Collapse

"Regarding natural gas, the fundamentals on the ground are not nearly as good as the hype. The number of rigs on the ground has gone down 75% the last couple of years, as the wells are very short-lived, and it takes an enormous amount of money to keep them up. A number of companies have had to lower estimates of their reserves. As for oil shale, typical wells deplete at 38 percent the first year. Thus you need a lot of drilling, money, and a high price to keep up production rates. All you have to do is go out in the oil patch. I believe the investment world will be disappointed with the notion that supply is so great that oil will collapse." - in Business Insider
