Bubble, Bubble, Money and Trouble [Barron's, LAUREN R. RUBLIN interviews MARC FABER, publisher of the Gloom Boom & Doom Report; SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 2013]

Marc Faber's take on Myanmar:

Where ever you go, people are talking about Myanmar. They seem to love it as much as they loved Vietnam right near the market's peak in 2006-07. There are opportunities, but there is high execution risk. Yoma Strategic Holdings [Z59.SIYOMA.Singapore] is the only direct play on Myanmar. It is run by an old friend of mine, Serge Pun, an ideal man to operate in difficult environments. I am not recommending the stock because it no longer is cheap, but this is the way to invest in Myanmar if you want to do it.

Why study agriculture instead of finance- Jim Rogers

"Until prices reach a point where growing food is profitable, the world's farmers, who are currently aging and dying are not going to be replaced. Prices must rise, and they will. In recent years, the world has been consuming more food than it has produced. Those inventories that were so high in the 1980s are now historically low, somewhere near 14 percent of consumption (vs  ~35 percent of consumption in the 1980s). The world is facing dramatic shortages." Jim Rogers

Value of persistence- Jim Rogers

We all know smart people who are not successful; we all know talented people who are not successful. Persistence is what makes the difference.

Setting up a TRUST FUND

Over the years, you have achieved success and accumulated wealth. Your priority now is to ensure your wealth and assets remain protected for your future generations.

Solution:

A trust fund is a will with a lot more and detailed stipulations. The trustor decides the particulars and this is a significant advantage. If you leave money behind for the beneficiary(s) (eg. your kids) in a savings account, your kids will get to make all the decisions. Trust funds are often set up by the wealthy with the idea that the interest and dividends earned would allow the trust to operate off the investment income making it something that spans generations. That is to say, for the purpose of wealth accumulation and asset protection ensuring that your loved ones will always be well looked after. The responsibility of administering the assets to take care of the various needs can be held by a trusted individual or an institution called a trustee.
