When The Liquidity Dries Up, Everybody Will Suffer

There is huge artificiality in the world, some of it its in Asia but its everywhere. And when that artificial sea of liquidity starts drying up, everybody is going to suffer including Asia. But I would rather be with the creditors and the dynamic people on the rise than with the debtors at a time like that.

Asset Bubbles Around The World

There are certainly bubbles in the world. American tertiary education is in a bubble if you ask me. But there are other bubbles too. European football teams are in a bubble, property in Hong Kong is already going down from its bubble but Asia is in a better position than the rest of the West. Everywhere there`s artificiality going on. China has a real estate bubble and they are trying to pop it.

There Is Liquidity Floating Everywhere

If anybody is being artificially inflated right now, it is the United States. But its not just the United States, it is everybody. Everybody has low interest rates. This is the first time in recorded history we have had every major central bank printing huge amounts of money trying to debase their currency.

So, what we have is an artificial, a huge artificial ocean of liquidity floating around the world. Yes, some of it floated into Asia, a lot has floated into the United States. I mean, it is amazing that stocks in the United States are near all time highs even though economic conditions certainly aren`t as good as they should be at an all time high. But that is because of this artificial ocean of liquidity floating everywhere.

MBA`s: Waste Of Time & Money

Getting an MBA in your lifetime will be a total waste of time, money, energy and everything else. Let me tell you why.

First of all, having taught in a MBA school, I can tell you most of what you learn is totally wrong, you have to pay a lot of money to learn incorrect stuff and then you have to go out and you are 2 years behind everybody else because they were working. So it wasted you a lot of money to fall 2 years behind everybody else. And then it will take even more time to unlearn the things you learned at the business school.
