Do You Believe Borrowing Leads to Prosperity? (Part 2)

Hi James, where and what farms would you recommend to buy?

Default Risk for Key Financials

These CDS levels are only meaningful if the counterparty who sells it to you are solvent. Just some other levels, UK is at 45, State of Texas is at 78, State of New Jersey is at 135. China is at 119 (they are the largest US treasury holder btw). I saw even US is trading at 30. Who ever is looking to buy CDS on US Treasury is completely nuts, who's guaranteeing the seller?!! While this whole system is breaking down, a lot of things are getting mis-priced. So I really wouldn't pay too much attention to these numbers.
