SAMEER SAYS

I V ALREADY SAID LONG BACK THAT VIX WAS AT A LOW NEAR 16

THE VIS WILL SURGE AND THIS IS ONE ASSET TO HOLD ON LONG TERM BASIS AS THIS IS JUST THE START OF THE RISE OF THE VIX

I V SAID IN THE PAST THAT THE VIX WILL CROSS 89 - IE THE 2008 HIGH IN OCT

WE CAN ALSO SEE A TRIPLE DIGIT VIX

TODAY VIX WAS AT 46

THE ASSETS TO HOLD FOR THE NEXT 4 YEARS ARE

US DOLLAR
SHORT TERM US T BILLS
CASH
SWISS MONEY MARKET CLAIMS
VIX

IN MY EXPECTED DEFLATION SCENARIO - PRICES OF ALL ASSETS SHOULD FALL
