The Fed Will Not Raise Rates, No Matter What

The bottom line is, does not matter where the unemployment rate goes, does not matter how high the inflation rate goes, they can never raise interest rates without precipitating a worse financial crisis than the one we had in 2008.

A Lot Of Economic Indicators Are Showing That The Economy Has Already Rolled Over

The air is coming out of the bubble because the Federal Reserve halted or paused their quantitative easing program. Most think they have ended it but I think it is just paused because now everybody expects the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates because they think the recovery finally has enough traction that it no longer needs the emergency life support of zero percent interest rates yet a lot of economic indicators are showing that the economy has already rolled over and is rapidly headed back to recession.

Federal Reserve: Bluffing About Raising Rates

They should be raising interest rates but they will not be doing that. They are just bluffing about interest rate hikes because they want to pretend that the economy is actually strong enough to absorb higher interest rates. But the economy is a gigantic bubble and if the Federal Reserve raises interest rates, they are going to prick it.

America & Japan: The Central Banks Are Making The Same Mistakes

The central banks are making the same mistakes in both nations (U.S. and Japan), they are printing too much money.

A lack of inflation is not a problem. That is a good thing. Deliberately trying to create inflation, that is one of the reasons that consumers can`t spend because things are too expensive. If you want your consumers to spend, lower prices and then they will spend.

China: Long Term Buyer Of Chinese Stocks

I am a long term buyer of chinese stocks. We buy a lot of Chinese names through Hong Kong as well. I think that is where you want to be as a long term investor. There is a lot of wealth being created in China.

Are there problems? Sure. The problem is that their currency is pegged to the U.S. Dollar and as a result to maintain that peg the Central Bank of China does a lot of foolish things. But I think the Federal Reserve is doing even more foolish things and ultimately the fundamentals in China are much better than they are in the United States.

Shanghai Composite: Nothing Goes Up In A Straight Line

Look at how much the market (Shanghai Composite) rose in such a short period of time. Nothing goes up in a straight line. Obviously you are going to get volatility and you are going to get market corrections. But long term I remain very constructive on both the economy and the stock market in China.
