This is the most difficult time to make money in stock markets...

This is the most difficult time to make money in stock markets probably ever. It's a direct result of ZIRP policies distorting asset prices, some faster than others, and interest rates. Even hedge fund traders aren't making money in this environment, despite being reasonably proficient in trading every financial instrument avaialbe long or short. It's not a coincidence a guy like Greg Coffey has retired. The guy's record is something like 22% a year since 2002. Why risk that type of record and reputation by continuing to attempt to trade in this type of environment, when you can go out on top?

I think guys like Kyle Bass, Jim Rogers, Georger Soros, Mike Burry aren't far off when they say arable famland is going to be worth alot more in the future. Ofcourse we are so clever here in Australia, we are flogging it all off at bargain basement prices to the Chinese and anyone else who waves a few bob in front of our faces.
