WHY move to Singapore? Especially if one believes agriculture is the wave of the future?
Does Singapore have VAST arable land? One can always print more currency...but NOT real estate to grow food on! I would think the USA is the one place where one would like to be in a world short of food...but, what do I know?....oh, and weapons to defend ourselves with. Can one own a gun in Singapore? How is the farming there? The US has land, energy, production skills, manufacturing skills, and especially INNOVATION for toys the world wants! Does Singapore innovate? China? India? They all produce LOTS of engineers...and NOW what do they DO...EXACTLY? WHAT have they INVENTED which is USEFUL? Anybody outside the US, besides Europe? WHERE? Tell me. I wanna know. Instruct me. WHERE are their patents?

Great stuff Mark. Here is my latest in-depth look at the financial collapse and where I think we're heading. It is grim.

"In today’s spin doctored media maelstrom can China be more truthful than the United States? The following will uncover some of reasons why CBS, Bernanke, the Fed, and other members of the power Elite are lying to you. We will then explore the mechanics of how a total Fed collapse can happen. And we’ll end with a review of how a stronger police state is being formed."

The good stuff from Bloomberg. I guess it's that one

I remember Marc doing a TV interview about 10 years ago in HK where he ended up in discos, cabarets and finally in a striptease club with the camera team following. A security guy started shouting "No camera ! Camera off !" and that was the end of it :)

Faber is a colorful personality full of interesting ideas. I don't always agree with him, but he always has interesting insights and is not afraid to speak his mind.

Mike, of all the sugar high 2x, 3x funds probably UYM or ERX are the two to best take advantage of the "theme" but I still think the world is so bad off we still have deflationary aspects first. Its a tug of war between global contraction (bearish) v currency debasement (bullish) for these things. I assume day by day, week by week, the tug of war will flip from one side to the other. UYM is more of a chemical/industrial companies

ERX is 3x oil companies

nam, I'd get a kick of that video if you can find it on Faber.

Rogers is a big picture kind of guy - he hasn't deviated form his China, commodities, dollar-is-doomed themes in a decade or so. But he calls himself the world's worst trader.

Faber seems to be a much better trader. It's uncanny how accurate his asst allocation calls have been in the last eight year, and on a wide variety of asset classes, time scales, and at different phases of the business cycle. He is basically the only guy in the Barron's roundtable you can listen to (and it's funny how he mocks Bill Gross in that forum for being in bed with the govt - as TM did here).

I like listening to Rogers and Faber because they both seem lke guys who clearly won the game a long time ago and now are just enjoying themselves. SO they aren't just talking their books (like Gross and 99% of other talking heads out there) and can step back and laugh at how absurd the game has become, while pointing out how to profit from the absurdity. I think I get more fro Faber than from Rogers though - Faver seems to come up with creative, new tradable ideas, while Rogers's playbooks is always goign to be China, commodiities, and non-dollar denominated assets.

NP is right - Faber woudl be hilarious to party with. He did an interview recently in Hong Kong (I think it is in the 3/16 Bloomberg archives), where at the end (after advising people to buy a farm and move out of cities so they don't die in a war), he told the interviewer that he doesn't grow hasish on his farm in New Zealand, but if the interviewer wanted to visit his farm in the jungle of northern Thailand they could enjoy some of "the good stuff" grown locally (said with that Swiss accent and a demonic little grin). very funny.
