US stocks are at lofty valuations
If you look at valuations of U.S. stocks relative to valuations in other markets, the U.S. stock market has big downside risk.

US Stocks are not an appealing investment at the moment
I don't think U.S. stocks are attractive by any measurement. They are expensive and earnings are going down.

Money printing conspiracy by Central banks around the world
Some people say there is a currency war going on, but I dont buy that argument. In my view Central banks around the world are coordinating printing money, one after the other, its like handing the baton to someone else. It started with the Fed, then the Bank of England, the ECB, every central bank will do the same thing.

Most European citizens want closer Russia ties
Actually, you ask ordinary people in the whole of Europe about the policies of the governments towards Russia, 90% of ordinary people disapprove of the politics and policies that have been implemented and with the way European governments behave as if they were feudals of the United States and vassals of the US.
The reality is that Europe should be very close to Russia as it was in the 19th and 18th century, with very few exceptions like for example when Napoleon attacked Russia or when Hitler attacked Russia, but ordinarily the two regions, western Europe and Russia were much closer than say western Europe and the US because of the proximity and also culturally they were quite close.

Number one risk to China economy now is this
The biggest risk [to China] is that credit has grown far more than economic activities. The debt-to-GDP ratio has increased dramatically. Essentially, China is borrowing economic growth from the future. Once the debt reaches a level where it’s difficult to maintain the pace of growth, the economy automatically slows down.

Chinese currency to be a global currency one day
I think the Chinese will eventually have a global currency, certainly with their trading partners. China is the largest trading partner with 124 different countries in the world.

Fed policies has created price increases for people
All the central banks are so deep in the mud that, in my view, they will continue to essentially buy assets.
The prices have gone up so much that many cities in the U.S. and Europe are not affordable anymore. What people do is spend money, but they don't go out too often; they go out once a week or so.

Marc Faber on Taiwan, South Korea, Hong Kong
Taiwan is highly dependent on the technology sector where there is a slowdown. I am not too keen on Taiwan but I am aware that some strategists recommend Taiwan and South Korea with a view that they will perform similarly to Japan and rise slowly. This, however, is not my view.
As regards Hong Kong, there are some drawbacks but the valuations are relatively low. One can buy Hong Kong shares, Singapore shares and they would have a dividend yield of around 5%. So it is not terribly expensive. But I don't think that they'll shoot up by 100%. This year, Hong Kong is already up 20%.

EU will suffer financially if Greece exits
I think that the ECB and European banks will have to bear huge losses on their loans to Greece and bond purchases that are made if there is failure.

What is a legitimate government?
Today we have a government, basically in the Western world, that has more voters who receive something [benefits] from the state then people that actually pay for it.
And so I think that democracy is an untested system. We had, maybe, 7000 years of history of civilization, and democracy is precisely, roughly maximum 100 years old, maximum, because in many countries, full democracy was only introduced less than 100 years ago.
