The Following Crisis Is Likely To Be In Sovereign Debt

“The following crisis is likely to be in sovereign debt, because interest payments on government debts could reach between 35% and 50% of government revenue in 10 years. In my opinion it’s beyond repair. If the US were a corporation and had proper accounting, they would be "Triple C", nobody would buy their bonds.

Having said that, in the near term I think the dollar could rally because the others are no better, the others are worse. I think that the dollar will rally now against the euro and against the pound sterling and probably against the yen.”
