YES! A DEFINITE YES! We are indeed fortunate enough to live through 5 decades of relative peace in Asia, especially Singapore & Malaysia. King Solomon built the Richest Kingdom in Peace Time.

The Scenario Ahead Looks Misty & Murky. 3 Authorities Portray A Different Picture In The Coming Future:

1) MARC FABER.

He expects Dow Jones To Correct up to 40% due the FED Tapering. To Marc the Entire World is in a BIG COLOSSAL BUBBLE all thanks to Money Printing. There is actually little or no growth at all world-wide. As such he moved from stocks to 10 Year US Treasury Bond.

His Voice should carry weight because he predicted the Asian Financial Crisis of 1997/8 & also the Lehman's Brother Crisis of 2008.

He advocated buying gold when Central Banks sold Gold down to US$250 an ounce. All who took heed to buy Gold then are still sitting on Huge Gains.


2) MARK MOBIUS.

The Well Known EMERGING MARKET CHAMPION & NO. ONE GURU. He pioneered Investing Into Emerging & Frontier Markets long before we ever heard of "Foreign Funds".

Mark thinks that the Sell Down on Emerging Market is not over yet. So the best is to stay out of the On Going Tsunami of SELLING & SELLING down by foreign funds. A check on Bursa Website will reveal funds like Aberdeen is selling & selling.

3) GEORGE SOROS

3 Years Before Lehman Brothers' Gone Bankrupt George Soros pointed out that the US Housing Bubble might implode due to subprime lending. The 2008 Subprime Debacle brought down many US Banks, Fannie Mae & Freddy Mac.

Now he forecasts the Looming Problem of China (not Euro or US) as the NEXT BIG CRISIS to Hit within A few Short years ahead.

Are all these 3 men overly pessimistic? Or are they accurate in their prognosis? If no then the Go Go Years of South-east Asian Boom Continues on and on.

What if they are proven right? Many fully invested & over leveraged companies and individuals will literally die standing.

The Best Course of Action Will Be To Go Defensive.

Return OF capital is more important than return ON capital.

This is a good article. Are the seasoned Investors like möbius & Soros panicking?
Are they over cautious? Or are they being far sighted?
