“Wealth, War and Wisdom”
Die legendariese Amerikaanse beleggingsbestuurder Barton Biggs (voorheen by Morgan Stanley) het aan die begin van hierdie jaar ‘n nuwe boek met die titel “Wealth, War and Wisdom” gepubliseer. Hy is veral kundig op ontluikende markte. Hier is ‘n interessante aanhaling uit die nuwe boek:
“part of your diversification strategy should be to have a farm or ranch somewhere far off the beaten track but which you can get to reasonably quickly and easily. Think of it as an insurance policy…Your safe haven must be self-sufficient and capable of growing some kind of food. It should be well-stocked with seed, fertilizer, canned food, wine, medicine, clothes, etc. Think Swiss Family Robinson. Even in America and Europe there could be moments of riot and rebellion when law and order temporarily completely breaks down.”
As dit is wat Barton Biggs van Amerika en Europa se stabiliteit dink, sal ons graag sy opinie oor die omstandighede in Suid-Afrika wou hoor.
