Most people are under exposed to global assets, including foreign stocks, bonds and currencies.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Today, even small entities that trade complex instruments or are granted sufficient leverage can threaten the global financial system.
Fortunately there is more wealth in the world than there was at the time of the global economic crisis of 1929 - Chinese, Indian, Arab and Russian.
Individuals want to know that none of their own money is being invested in companies that put their profits ahead of international security.
Increasingly, the Chinese will own a lot more of the world because they will be converting their dollar reserves and U.S. government bonds into real assets.
Our global economy is much more fragile than many of us realize.
The long-standing wisdom that everyone wins in a single world market has been undermined. Global trade, capital flows, and immigration are declining.
This dilettante notion that the global economy is evil because big corporate leaders make too much money... they do make too much money, but the only way we've figured out how to generate wealth in this world is through the market economy.
There's a tendency to look at investments in isolation. Investors focus on the risk of individual securities.
I'm obviously aware that people are quite focused on the economy rather than foreign policy issues, but that is something that should and can be altered as people see the nature of the threats around the world that we face.
Forty percent of my portfolio is in the U.S. In the rest of the world, most of the places I invest in or invested in are Brazil, Russia, Germany with a little bit of Turkey, China, India, France and Israel sprinkled in there.
