Description:
I absolutely believe that the biggest problem that the world currently has is 'excess capital'. Historically, when rich people wanted to preserve their financial status quo, they could just invest in US dollars - which was as good as gold. Since the 2000's, the value of the USD has eroded and so there is excess capital sloshing around all across the world trying to find a safe haven. This has caused the frequency and amplitude of world wide financial volatility to increase. In my humble opinion, this situation will be fixed when the most financially transparent country in the world (i.e the US) regains its footing ... but thats going to take a long while. In the meanwhile, I believe that everything in the world from USD, to Indian real estate to Dubai commercial property is overvalued ... everything should crash and creative destruction should take its course... however that will not happen anytime soon given the massive govt spending we have going on. So which is the next global growth engine? Think about it ... with the advent of smartphones and the Netbook, its only a matter of time before massive online migration starts for China, India and the rest of the developing world. Look around you - there is only one really cheap asset class available... and thats the internet.. at 10$ a year, you can buy a domain name. These are the agricultural fields that we must mow and fertilize now... we need to plant different types of seeds in it to see what sticks.... and thats where the next revolution is going to come from. So my website is a humble attempt to study the diaspora that i personally know.... it costs me 10$ and i can very well afford it .. i welcome any input from people who may have ideas for me
