Abenomics goes not equal good economics

In twenty years people will look back and say, ‘My God, what happened to Japan?’ It is all going to go back to Abenomics.

Natural gas better value for money right now than oil

If I had to buy something in the energy sector, I would buy natural gas, not oil, because natural gas is down so much. It has been very strong over the last month or so, be careful. If it undergoes proper correction and if I had to buy energy, I would buy natural gas, not oil.

The surprise will be how high the price of energy stays and how high it eventually goes, because we are running out of known reserves of energy, oil and gas all over the world. Yes, we have these pockets that pop up every once in a while, like shale oil at the moment, but known reserves worldwide continue to decline.

Metals overdue for a rally

There are huge shorts that have developed in precious metals, as you know. So it is overdue for a rally. We had a big drop in 2013 and everybody got negative and short. So we are going to have a rally, though I do not think too much of the rally. I am not going to buy or sell on that rally, though. I expect that later in the year, things will go down again and hopefully we will make a nice bottom eventually and we can buy gold again.

Base metals have been punished

I had bought some base metal indices [few weeks ago or so back]. It seems to me that it is time for a rally. As all the major economies continue to develop, base metals prices have been bashed very badly. I would be buying base metals; not would be, in fact, I have bought.

Gold to rally a bit and then fall down this year to create a bottom

There are huge shorts that have developed in precious metals as you know. So they are overdue for a rally. We have had a big drop in 2013 and everybody got negative and everybody got short.

So we are going to have a rally, though not too much of the rally. I am not going to either buy or sell that rally, but there will certainly be a rally.

Later in the year, things will go down again and hopefully finally, we will make a nice bottom and we can buy gold again. I would prefer silver to gold. I am not buying either at the moment. Silver is down 60% from its all-time high and gold is down 30% or 35% from its all-time high. 

However, I am not going to buy either at the moment.
