Jim Rogers in the longer term the Dollar is finished but I am not selling it right now

Jim Rogers for DAF on 2010-10-05 Warning of March



Jim Rogers : Gold has been going straight up , most things that go straight up eventually have to rest for a while , may beit while go up few point higher but I suspect it will rest soon , But over the long turn Gold is going to go much higher , do not sell your gold...
I said by 2020 (Gold) will be at least $2000 dollars an ounce so it is not so much you have $1300 today , yes sure I think it will go to $200 may be before that , may be much higher than that , if Gold goes to its old high adjusted for inflation it should be well over $2000 now , so gold got much further to go ....
for me if I had to buy a precious metal today I'll buy silver , silver is down 60 percent from its all time high , gold is making all time highs , I am sure your parents taught you to buy low and sell high , so silver is probably better !!!!
Sugar is just another agricultural product which is very depressed over its all time highs , Rice is probably even better these days , most agricultural products are extremely depressed on a historic basis , so just get on the list and look at them you'll see sugar is down a lot , rice is down a lot there are plenty of opportunities in agriculture ...you if i were you I'll go back to Germany and become a farmer , because farmers are going to be much more prosperous than anybody else over the next twenty years ....
The surprise with oil is how high the price is going to stay and how high it is going to go the world is running out of known reserves of oil , may be there is a lot of oil out there but we do not know where it is if it is there...so oil is going to stay high and go much much higher , Oil is going to be much higher over the next two decades ...
Regarding alternative energies Jim Rogers says : if you could find a well managed company , you can invest in it now ...alternative energy has a great future I am explaining to you the oil reserves are going down prices will be going higher and politicians love alternative energy because they say it's clean they say it is wonderful for the environment etc etc...if you could find a sound company at a cheap price then you should buy it now , you will do very well...
regarding the Us equity market Jim Rogers had this to say : no all that's already in the stock market , this is already October , the election is in November the earnings are coming out , no no you have to worry about march and April of the next year , whatever happens this week or the next week is not important for the stock market it is what's going to happen in April , you have to look to the future worry about next year , that's what i am worried about and you should be too ...yes the recovery is pretty slow...as you can see America is not doing terribly well , Germany seems to be doing a little better than America as far as recovery is concerned , Asia is doing better , America is lying behind , but America it's got horrible problems , terrible problems ..the stagering amount of debt in this country and they are not taking the right policies to solve our problems , they're building up more debt ...I cannot believe that they could say the solution to too much debt too much spending , is more debt and more spending ?! but that's what they're saying ! ...now this is insane if you ask me , and that's why America is falling behind and Asia continues to doing well...
I am not buying stocks anywhere right now , I bought a few in Malaysia recently but i am not buying stocks anywhere for the most parts because in my view I do not know what's going to happen to the economy , if the world's economy gets better commodities are going to do well because of the shortages , if the world economy does not get better i wanna own commodities because governments gonna print money , that's bad but they're gonna do it ...that's all they know , and if they print you'll better off owning real assets silver rice natural gas that's where you'll make money , if they print money even if there is a bad economy so either way i think i am going to be better off in commodities than in stocks ...
well longer term the Dollar is finished , I mean the dollar is a terribly flawed currency however right now everybody is pessimistic it's been going down for several weeks , everybody is pessimistic including me so I wouldn't sell it when I see everybody very pessimistic about something it's usually time to buy if nothing else for a rally so I wouldn't sell the US dollar right now , I am not buying it that's cause I own some but i expect it to probably rally , but in the long term ...it is not good news.......hang on to your silver hang on to your gold ...hang on to your rice ...

Jim Rogers: Federal Reserve Will Implode

by Robert Wenzel
Economic Policy Journal


Last night at the Mises Institute in Auburn, Alabama, author, investor and global traveller, Jim Rogers, was awarded the prestigious Schlarbaum Prize for the lifetime defense of liberty.

Rogers told attendees to the event that the United States has had two central banks prior to the Federal Reserve and that they both disappeared. He said he fully expected the same thing to happen to the Federal Reserve. He charged that Ben Bernanke as Fed chairman only knows how to print money, and that this money printing policy of the Fed will cause it to collapse from within.

Jim Rogers, Buy A Tractor and become a Farmer

Jim Rogers : “It’s been a horrible business, [agriculture], for 30 years. Very few people have invested in agriculture. Many countries don’t even have farmers anymore because they’re all old men. In Japan, they cannot find farmers because the old men have died and the kids have gone to Tokyo or Jim Rogers,  Buy A Tractor and become a FarmerOsaka. So the basic point is, there is just no investment in agriculture for 30 years… Look at the things that are cheap. Gold is making an all time high, silver is still 60% below it’s all time high. So if I were looking at a precious metal I would look at the places that are still cheap. I own gold, I own silver. Look at the things that are still down, that’s probably a better way to start.”

Jim Rogers : Silver is still 60% below its all-time high


Jim Rogers recommends Gold and Silver


Jim Rogers : “If I were to go to precious metals, I would rather look at silver than gold. Silver is still 60% below its all-time high,” “Buy yourself some silver chopsticks or some silver cutlery and buy yourself some rice, and you will be very rich in five or 10 years.”

Gold is going to go a lot higher over the next decade. It may slow down for a while because it’s run up so dramatically here in the last few weeks. But gold’s going to be much higher,” Rogers said recently

“Adjusted for inflation it should be well over $2,000 now. When I say something like it’s going to 2,000 in 10 years it’s not a very dramatic statement given the state of the world. I’m sure it’s a given,” he added.

Jim Rogers : Why Gold will continue to Rise

Jim Rogers - Gold to $2000 in 5 to 10 Years, Silver is an even better investment

Jim Rogers :"one reason gold will continue to gain is because of what he called the failed policies of the Federal Reserve, its Chairman Ben Bernanke, as well as Treasury Secretary Geithner and other government officials"
"They've all been dead wrong, totally unadulterated wrong," "Unemployment is higher now than it was before. Everything is worse instead of better. Let people go bankrupt. Let the system clean out and start over."
"If the world economy gets better I'm going to make money in commodities," Rogers said. "If the world's economy doesn't get better I'm going to make money in commodities, because the Fed is going to print money." and Rogers added that silver may even be a better buy now than gold because it is well off its historical high, while gold has been setting a series of new peaks lately. Rice will do well among soft commodities ,Jim Rogers always been very bullish on commodities and especially agri-commodities advised the CNBC journalist to go and get a farming degree ....

Jim Rogers Gold Could Exceed $2,000

Jim Rogers, long known as "The Commodities King," tells CNBC gold could cross $2,000 an ounce in the next five to 10 years.

Jim Rogers: Markets Soaring But the World Is Worse Off

Jim Rogers: 'Markets Soaring But the World Is Worse Off'

By 2012, the US will be overdue for another recession, Rogers says. He points out that the government can't quadruple its debt again. "We're going to have a serious problem the next time we have a slowdown," comments Rogers.

The investor believes a bubble is forming in the bond market. He is bullish on rice and sugar and still believes agriculture has a wonderful future for the next 5-15 years.

"Gold is going to go a lot higher over the next decade," says Rogers. He wouldn't sell his US dollars right now, as everyone is pessimistic on the dollar. "I have found in life, it's better to be a contrarian than not be," Rogers says.

"If the world economy gets better, I'm going to make money in commodities. If the world economy doesn't get better, I'm going to make money in commodities because they're going to all print money."

Printing money, Rogers argues, is the wrong thing to do. He expresses how dead wrong Fed chairman Ben Bernanke has been. According to Rogers, the best opportunities now lie in commodities.

"When you print a lot of money, the people who get the money are better off -- there's no question about it. But the country, the world is worse off," Rogers says. "Sure some of us feel much better, especially people in the financial markets but...the world is not getting better. The world is getting worse."....

Jim Rogers - Silver is 85 % under it´s all time high - October 2010
Jim Rogers :"I just got to say that if I were to go to about precious metals, I would rather look at silver than gold. I own gold and I own silver, but silver is still 60% below its all time high. Gold is making all time highs. So it is usually better to buy low and sell high. I am not selling my gold. Gold will go over $2000 an ounce certainly in the next 5 to 10 years. But silver - on a percentage basis - will probably go up even more during that period of time. "

China offers to buy Greek debt

China has offered to buy Greek government bonds, in a show of support for the country whose debt burden pushed the euro zone into a financial crisis.

Wen Jiabao, the Chinese prime minister, made the offer before Greece's parliament on Saturday at the start of a two-day visit to the country.

But his offer has also called into question China's own financial policies.

Jim Rogers sees currency turmoil in the next few years

Jim Rogers sees currency turmoil in the next few years
Jim Rogers : "The way I see the world, there is going to be a lot more currency turmoil in the next few years. So I am mainly playing currencies and commodities going forward. I have a few shorts. I have sold a few things short mainly in the United States, but I do not see a lot of great opportunities in the stock market.

Let’s put it this way: If there are great opportunities in the stock market, the opportunities will be better in commodities because the shortages are worse in commodities. If the world does not get better, which it may not, then you should better off owning commodities because after all, governments will continue to print money and throughout history when government has printed a lot of money, it has led the higher prices for commodities.

So either way, my way to play this is through commodities. Buy yourself some or some rice or some natural gas, look at the things that are very cheap and maybe you will do well - no matter what happens to the world economy. "...

Jim Rogers : Sugar is going to go much higher over the next few years

Jim Rogers : Sugar is going to go much higher over the next few years. I have no idea whether this is a short term trade or not. I am terrible at it, terrible at short term trading. I am ecstatic to hear that your government is loosening up. Indian government is one of the most restrictive and controlling governments in the world. They should let sugar farmers finally make some money. So I hope that they continue to expand. I hope that the sugar farmers continue to make money and yes the price of sugar is going to be much higher over the next 5 to 10 years. So there is lots of money to be made in sugar unless your government does something foolish again.

Jim Rogers sees money in Alternate Energy

Jim Rogers : "There is enormous potential in alternate energy. The world needs new energy sources. Some day I will come to Mumbai and I am going to see windmills on all the roofs or solar panels on all the roofs, but some day is a long way from now. But if you can find good companies in the shale gas or in the windmill business or in the solar panel business, you will probably make a lot of money because it has a great future. Oil reserves are declining, energy usage is rising. Find somebody who can produce relatively cheaply alternate energy and you will make a fortune. "

Singapore - Global commodities investor Jim Rogers says gold's rally and record prices are a sign that money printing is starting again and the gold bull run is far from over.

"The US has been giving the signal that it is going to print more money and Japan has recently said they are going to print more money - what is happening is that money printing is starting again and the market knows it," he told Kitco News in an exclusive interview on Wednesday.

Gold on Thursday extended the record highs hit just three days ago. Comex December gold peaked at $1,279.50 an ounce early Thursday, a record for any most-active contract. Spot gold hit a record high of $1,278.90.

Jim Rogers : Cautious on markets at current levels

http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/Interviews/articleshow/6600915.cms

In an exclusive interview with ET Now, investment guru Jim Rogers says his way of playing is to be long commodities because whether the world gets better or not, commodities are going to do well. But he does worry about stocks because the stock markets are currently pretty high around the world, including India.

Would you be cautious on the Indian markets at the current levels or does everything seem to be hunky-dory?

I am always cautious whenever I am doing anything. The US and the Japanese central banks are intended to print a lot more money around this time. Money supply in the US has grown nearly 8% a year in last months and the Japanese two weeks ago made it clear that they were going to print more money. So we have this money flowing into the world and obviously it is going into the market. Your government, your central bank are going to be more cautious and I hope they are, but in the meantime, the money is going to go somewhere and it is going into stock markets around the world.

Jim Rogers on Gold highs and currencies

Jim Rogers : "gold is making all time highs in some currencies. So some currencies are doing well during this period of time. But to your bigger question, if the world economy gets better then obviously commodities are going to do better because the world would use more and there are shortages developing. But let’s assume the worst, let’s assume the world economies does not get better, the things continue to get there, then I would rather be in commodities in most things because governments are going to print even more money and whenever you have had printed money throughout history, it has led to higher prices for real goods whether it is silver or natural gas whatever it happens to be. So I would rather own commodities than most things in the world that we have in the next two or three years. "

Robert Shiller, Nothing in the financial reform bill can prevent another housing bubble

Nothing in the financial reform bill can prevent another housing bubble, Robert Shiller, a Yale economics professor and co-creator of the Case-Shiller housing index, tells CNBC.

Jim Rogers "the 19th century was the century of the UK , the 20th century was the century of the US , the 21 st century is going to be the century of China "

Jim Rogers New Book :
Street Smarts






Who is Jim Rogers ?

James "Jim" Rogers was born in Oct. 19, 1942 and grew up in Demopolis, Alabama .Jim Rogers started trading the stock market with $600 in 1968.In 1973 he formed the Quantum Fund with the legendry investor George Soros before retiring, a multi millionaire at the age of 37. Rogers and Soros helped steer the fund to a miraculous 4,200% return over the 10 year span of the fund while the S&P 500 returned just 47%. They ran what is considered to be one of the first truly global macro hedge funds. . In 1964 he got his first job on Wall Street at Dominick & Dominick in the summer between high school and Yale University, that's how he got his first experience with stocks and bonds. He immediately fell in love with the job. After Oxford, he returned to the U.S. and joined the army in 1970 he returned to Wall Street, working again with Dominick & Dominick. That same year he joined Arnold S. Bleichroeder, where he met George Soros, and together founded the Quantum Fund. This has opened a new era of global macrotrading and inspired numerous imitations and spin-offs. In the book "Money Masters of Our Time," Jim Rogers writes about that time "the most important thing in my life was work. I did not do anything until I had completed my work." To emphasize this professional ethic , it is good to remember that he did not made any holiday for ten years. In 1980, Jim Rogers has decided to "retire" at 37 years. Since then he has spent much of his time traveling and supporting the causes of philanthropic and taking on many high profile roles in the media. However, he continues to be an active investor and media commentator
