Profit From Obamacare Implementation With Healthcare REITs [View article]
Universal Health Care will not work in the U.S, the whole system and size of the country are against it. Large, very poor minorities with horrible health ,massive obesity,graying population, and a refusal to raise taxes to pay for any changes. Massive lawsuits,for profit mentality,this is a no starter. Canadians will wait for joint replacement.Americans want it done NOW. Consumption Tax, the SAT(Save America Tax) is coming,only way they can crawl out of the debt hole that has been created,that is after they are down graded and default on their debt. Buy Gold.
I live in another country,the U.S is a nice place to visit. Nations that are truly great do not have to keep bragging in order to reassure them selves.
All the charts show the start of a classic head and shoulders. I have hedged all my U.S holdings with covered calls. Ask 1,Are interest rates going up or down? 2.Is the population getting older or younger? 3.Will Governments cut spending or continue to spend? 4.Public Service Employees have very generous retirement Benefits that must be paid, are Property Taxes going up or down? 5.Does the Federal Government have the gonads to introduce aggressive programs such as a Consumption Tax to start paying down the Debt? Reality, when Rates return to Historic Averages of 6 to 8% the U.S will default on its obligations,the rush will be to gold from paper. Germany 1936 all over again.

Canadian Housing: It Actually Is Different This Time [View article]
Many ,if not most, home buyers in TO are stretched to the limit, they are 2% points or one job loss away from losing their ability to pay their mortgage debt. We sold, put a lot of cash in the bank, totally debt free,as a Graduate Economist the future is easy to see. Immigrants coming in are in many cases dependant upon our Social Safety Nets, they are going into Government Housing. An ageing population will mean a lot of houses on the market, a small group of young buyers who cannot afford to pay these outrageous prices will force prices down. The rush to the exit will start,people will take whatever they can get,the Buyers will be in the drivers seat, but higher rates will keep this pool very small. Big cities are getting more dangerous, smaller towns with Health Care and 55 plus communities will benefit.

Australia is growing directly as a result of Asia's demand for commodities and the housing bubble in OZ is rampant, the high home costs in Canada are basically confined to two cities. I have visited Australia, it is far from any major country, Canada can ship goods by land down to the tip of South America,Australia it all goes by sea or air. The currency is high due to their high rates but not too long ago it was $0.49 not $1.02, you could lose half of your investment if the Aussie Dollar tanks, again.
