Jim Rogers continues to be bullish on commodities despite the recent correction. The following is an expert from the Jim Rogers Economic Times interview followed by a link to the original URL. Date of the interview is July 14,2009.
The commodities rally seems to have paused. The Rogers International Commodity Index has come off 13% since June 12. This pullback, essentially as I can see, is because of tin, energy and silver even as some of those agri commodities like orange juice, sugar and cotton have done well. What are your expectations going forward for commodities?
That’s the way I know you know about commodities. You read The Economic Times and your ET TV. So, you know that the markets always have corrections whether they are going up or down. Nothing goes straight up or down forever. So, it’s having a normal correction. In my view, the best place to be is in real assets commodities, because if the world is going to recover, they (commodities
) will recover first because of the shortages and if the world economy is not going to recover, they are still the best place to be, because governments around the world are printing huge amounts of money. So, if you got to own something, I don’t much to own besides commodities.
In India, we are getting worried about the monsoon. We are looking out of our windows and not finding any clouds, and there is also talk about El Nino weather formation. Is this something you would advise investors to keep an eye on?
Of course, I would. The world’s inventories of food are at the lowest they have been in decades. We haven’t have had any serious weather problems around the world for several decades as a matter of fact. So, with fairly good weather, we have been having bad harvest or we have been consuming more than we have been producing. Can you imagine what’s going to happen to the price of agriculture if we have bad weather around the world?

I want to buy commodities, but I always end up not doing so because its so confusing, the ETFs seem boring, and futures are so complicated with them expiring and all.
