Riding horses is good because you learn a lot about life. One of the rules is, if the horse is going ok don't interfere with it. Another one is if he deviates act fast and soon.

Democracy doesn't work in bad times

Wednesday, March 27, 2013 Francisco Carneiro 1 Comments

"Only a mentally ill person could have a burning desire to govern right now," Mr Bersani said at a meeting with Five Star politicians. 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-21956855

I guess people vote for the party that offer the best prospects, no one wins if they promise work and sweat! So the guy who wins the elections when he arrives at the power he has do to something very different from what made them win. 

This is a situation that makes the people not trust the system. To me democracy doesn't work if you have to shrink the government or cut anything.

The guy who is in power has won by promising more, not less!

Indians & Goverments

Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the Government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian.

With this Cyprus thing we already know that anything is possible. I am not shocked I prefer to live in a world were i have to think and navigate the risks. The world that we had in the past, where the Government takes care of us is over. Thank god it's over. Despite the mess i think Europe is in the right path.

Anything is Possible, always is!

There are no guarantees

Best course: to do what your brain thinks makes sense. Always use your own head. Don't copy and don't trust the government.

Why Gold has been going up?

Wednesday, March 20, 2013 Francisco Carneiro 0 Comments

Gold has been going up every year since 2000. In December 2000 Gold closed the year at 272,25

Last year, 2012, closed at 1675,35

why has Gold moved so much?

1.Gold has some link with money printing from central banks.



2.Bank can go out of business in a short period of time (Lehman)

3.The Government can cut your access to the money you have in the bank (Argentina & Cyprus)

4.Everybody knows what you have in a bank (Government, etc....)

I think these are some of the reasons why i think it make sense to have a bit of money in Gold if you can store it safely.

On March 14, 1879, in Ulm, a tiny town on the banks of the river Danube in the German state of Baden-Württemberg, a boy was born to a Jewish electrical engineer and his wife.
Hermann and Pauline Einstein had no idea that their first-born son would one day change the way humans look at the world around them.
Albert was an average student who, in 1895, sat the entrance exam for the Swiss Federal Polytechnic Institute in Zurich. Sadly, he failed to attain the required standard in several subjects; but the young man did display surprising aptitude in both physics and mathematics, which led the Polytechnic's principal to twist a few arms to get young Albert a place at the
Aargau Cantonal School in Aargau, Switzerland, where he would finish his secondary schooling.

I think if you focus on a narrow field it's possible that you can have a niche. If you have a niche there will be demand for you. If you are pretty good at many things i think it's more difficult to succeed.

I bought a Japanese Scales called TANITA

Here are the results from last friday.


I guess these are nice japonese they say I have a Metabolic age of 29 instead of 46!

Besides the Metabolic age i was pleased with the 11,8% fat. I would like to bring it to sub 10% before the race season starts.


In addition to weight, body fat percentage, and hydration levels, the BC-1000plus Body Composition Monitor provides measurements on muscle mass, overall physique rating, daily caloric intake, metabolic age rating, bone mass, and visceral fat. The BC-1000plus will communicate with your computer and Tanita's FREE Healthy EdgeTM Lite Software and FREE Tanita widget for Mac to wirelessly transmit these nine readings within seconds after stepping on the platform.

How to Educate your children

Wednesday, March 06, 2013 Francisco Carneiro 0 Comments


























I agree fully with this, i believe children are very much influenced by the parents example and their close friends. Make sure they get along with the right people an do your best. Your children will copy what you do, not what you say.

Chart 1: Gross debt levels in selected countries, 2012


















Source: Blackrock, Credit Suisse

We have been bombed with graphs like this. The numbers are big and difficult to understand.

What do i take from here? When you buy something you can pay with your money (no Debt), you can pay later to the seller (you have a debt) or you can borrow from Bank/credit card (you also have a debt)

In the last 20 years we consumed a lot because we either borrow or paid later (The amount of Debt went true the roof). That is the current situation. If we stop borrowing like crazy demand would shrunk and i guess prices would start falling because supply surpasses demand.

The way to balance the world is to create demand with more debt, if you stop the leveraging problem we would have deflation.

How should we react to this situation? 

If the government wants to stop borrowing the stock market (Supply of products) would tank because of lack of demand. 

If you have credits on borrowers that can not pay those credits should not be worth par.

If you live on borrowed money stay the course.

If you have money in the bank don't buy credit and don't buy equities. Both can go up because central banks can print, invest in government paper and the government can keep spending and creating demand for some time. However you know there is something wrong here.

If you have money in the bank what should you do?

To buy hard asset's? they will go down when the demand recedes.

I would bet on owning cash and trading strategies, strategies that you own nothing you only trade and try to profit from big moves and big trends. CTA's are definitely a candidate. Currency funds too (relative prices).
