Jim Rogers: Bailout is Ridiculous, Let Spain Go Bankrupt!



 

 
"The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. To the naive mind that can conceive of order only as the product of deliberate arrangement, it may seem absurd that in complex conditions order, and adaptation to the unknown, can be achieved more effectively by decentralizing decisions and that a division of authority will actually extend the possibility of overall order. Yet that decentralization actually leads to more information being taken into account."
F. A. Hayek 


What are the most critical steps to take now?
1) Buy precious metals and store in a secure jurisdiction.
Holding gold and silver overseas is a great way to (a) ensure your savings is protected against inflation, and (b) ensure that your precious metals cannot be confiscated in the event that gold ownership is criminalized in your home country.
I strongly recommend Singapore, Hong Kong, and Abu Dhabi as three potential safe jurisdictions for your gold and silver.
2) Open a foreign bank account.
For funds that need to be maintained within the financial system (as opposed to precious metals), make sure you have a safe home for your money abroad in a safe, well-capitalized bank.
3) Have a place to go overseas
Economic turmoil brought on by governments stealing people's savings generally goes not bode well for social stability. If things get hairy, you'll want to have a place to wait it out. And you don't want to be deciding on the location while you're packing your bags.

China's Mixed May
My view is we are already seeing some effect of the piecemeal stimulus underway and I am growing skeptical that the Chinese government has given up on slowing the property market.
