Preface After writing my last piece on the global economy and its investment implications, I realized that I mostly repeated what I said in an earlier article. Despite what the CNBC “talking heads” say, the fundamentals of the global economy change very slowly. Right now, global unemployment continues to rise. This means we have not yet reached the bottom. The investment implications of this are to find some safe, high yield investments. And when the economy does bottom out, you should invest in energy, food and emerging market countries while betting against the dollar. When I have something new to say on this matter, I will let you know.
