Jim Rogers On CNBC January 14, 2010

Really the first television appearance this decade, Jim Rogers continues to be bullish on commodities. Jim is not doing nothing with oil, but still expects the black gold to go higher over the next decade due to declining reserves around the world. In addition, he still believes in ag commodities but states sugar has gone up rather quickly but yet still about 70% from all time highs. As always, Jim Rogers believes in buying the commodities themselves instead of commodity stocks. Finally, Jim continues to hold gold but would not buy at current levels. One precious metal he would buy is silver or palladium.

Jim Rogers bets on near-term dollar rebound

Admin — Thu, 10 Dec 2009 13:38:42 +0000

As mentioned in our previous posts, Jim Rogers is not afraid to temporarily be on the other side of the trade. The $USD is a perfect example. For a good portion of 2009, Jim Rogers has generally been bearish as the Fed continues to print money. But, as that trade becomes crowded, the possibility of a short squeeze increases and it might be smart to be bullish for the short term.

Via: Reuters

Well-known investor Jim Rogers said on Wednesday he has been buying dollars over the past two months to bet on a near-term rebound, but remains very bearish about the U.S. currency over the longer term.

“Over the past couple of months I have been accumulating U.S. dollars … because there are too many bears,” Rogers told the Reuters Investment 2010 Outlook Summit in New York.

But he said the global financial crisis is merely in a temporary reprieve. Longer term, huge U.S. government debt issuance and a debilitated dollar will drag the world into a deeper crisis, he said.

There is a strong possibility that within the next three years or so that longer maturity U.S. government bond yields could reach double digits, as in the early 1980s, he added.

The U.S. 10-year Treasury note’s yield, which moves inversely to its price, hit a high of 15.8 percent in September 1981, according to Global Financial Data.

Jim Rogers buys dollar, predicts $2000 gold by 2019

Bulls & Bears. That’s what Wall Street is all about. But, a true commodity investor is both bullish and bearish, it’s when your a bull or bear that counts. And it appears Jim Rogers has started to be bullish, at least in the short term, on the $USD. This is normal for Jim as he knows a currency or commodity might be a great place to be in the long term, but he knows along the way there will be opportunities to be on the other side of the trade.

Via: Commodity Online

Global investment guru Jim Rogers who has been arguing that the US dollar is collapsing is buying dollar these days? Yes, the commodities investment legend told a conference in New York this week that he has been buying dollar for the past two months with the hope to sell them in the near-rebound.

“Yes, I have been buying US dollar in the last two months betting on the dollar’s near-term rebound,” he told the Reuters Investment 2010 Outlook Summit. But he said there are too many bears in the dollar market.

Jim Rogers, who is now settled in Singapore and who designed the Rogers International Commodity Index (RICI)–a composite, US dollar-based, total return index, pointed out that the global economy is going into a deep mess and the US dollar is collapsing, day by day. “The collapsing US dollar is putting the global economy into a deeper crisis,” he added.

Rogers has been predicting that gold prices are on a bull run, powering the great commodities bull run that will last for the next one decade.

On Wednesday, Rogers also sent an e-mail to Commodity Online, saying that his prediction on gold prices is not properly attributed in the media. In a specific e-mail, Rogers said: “I have never said gold would be US$2000 by 2010. I said within the decade – or by 2019.”

We stand corrected on Jim Rogers’ prediction on gold prices.

Rogers, a commodities investment champion who is bullish on agricultural commodities, has recently argued that gold prices are going up thanks to budget deficits across several countries in the world.

Jim Rogers said:

“Gold’s recent price surge is thanks to budget deficits. “Deficits are going berserk nearly everywhere. Throughout history, printing money has led to weaker currencies and higher prices for real assets.”

“here are many, many pessimists about the dollar, including me. So many pessimists that I suspect there’s a rally coming.”

“I have no idea why there should be, but things do usually rally when you have this many bears at the same time. I’ve actually accumulated a few more dollars.”

There is sense in what Jim Rogers is saying. He should know, as some of his best known books like Adventure Capitalist, Investment Biker, A Bull in China, and Hot Commodities have been eye-opening to the world economy, commodities market and investment ideas.

Jim Rogers Russia Today: Dubai Crisis

While Dubai’s credit crisis might have some significance in the world, it gets a bit repetitive when CNBC talks about it all day. Half of the people commenting on the Dubai crisis could not located Dubai on a map but yet feel as if they know the country in and out. I have been trying to avoid the whole fiasco but every now and then, I see some real inside analysis. Well, here’s Jim Rogers take on the Dubai situation. Not the longest but it gets to the point.

Businessweek: Jim Rogers On Why Gold Is Glittering So Brightly

Admin — Fri, 27 Nov 2009 16:12:43 +0000

Great interview of Jim Rogers on Gold. Gold has been making the evening news everywhere as it continues to make new highs. With the new exposure and high prices, also comes people trying to make a profit. I continuously get people knocking on my door to see whether I have any gold. Plus, the cash for gold infomercials are really starting to strike a nerve. As an investor, Gold will likely go higher, but I’m looking for some kind of pullback and today’s news of Dubai struggling with debt might lead to forced selling. I would definitely look at how much gold is Dubai holding.

Jim Rogers November 2009 Businessweek

I was on assignment in Singapore on Nov. 24 when gold hit an all-time high of $1,174 an ounce. That was fortuitous because Singapore is the home base of commodities guru Jim Rogers, creator of the Rogers International Commodities Index. Meantime, back in the U.S., reports were surfacing about growing discontent in the halls of Congress over the performance of Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner and the possibility he might be replaced by JPMorgan Chase (JPM) CEO Jamie Dimon. When I rang up Rogers, he was his usual low-key self, with quiet opinions about the future of gold prices, commodities to watch, and why Obama should dump Geithner.

MARIA BARTIROMO

Gold, as you know, hit an all-time high today, with the Russian central bank buying bullion. How high can gold go?

JIM ROGERS

Well, I own gold and I have for a while. How high can it go? I fully expect it to be over a couple thousand dollars an ounce sometime in the next decade—I didn’t say the next month, I didn’t say the next year, I said the next decade—because paper money around the world is very suspect. But right now everybody’s bullish on it, so I don’t like to buy things when that’s happening. But I’m not selling under any circumstances.

What’s behind the runup? Has buying by the central banks changed the equation here? Or is this still a demand story?
Certainly a demand story because, as I said, everybody’s printing so much money and people around the world are worried about that. But you also have central banks, which five years ago were selling gold, now buying. So that’s a huge shift in the marketplace. Central banks are like lots of other people—they just follow the crowd. There are probably better commodities to buy than gold, but you can’t tell that to central banks because they’ve got gold on the brain.

How much of the runup is being driven by U.S. deficits and the weakening dollar?
A huge amount is about not just U.S. deficits, but all deficits. Deficits are going berserk nearly everywhere. Throughout history, printing money has led to weaker currencies and higher prices for real assets. And there are many, many pessimists about the dollar, including me. So many pessimists that I suspect there’s a rally coming. I have no idea why there should be, but things do usually rally when you have this many bears at the same time. I’ve actually accumulated a few more dollars. I mean, it’s not a significant position, but I do own more dollars than I did a month ago. And we’ll probably also have a gold correction because there’s so many bulls on gold.

So you’re looking at other commodities you think are better opportunities?
If you want to buy precious metal, I’d rather buy silver or palladium. Both are very depressed. I continue to be more optimistic about agriculture than some other commodities.

As BusinessWeek reports this week, global investors are snapping up thousands of acres of farmland in Africa. Money from everywhere—from Saudi Arabia to Wall Street-backed funds—is pouring in. Why the sudden focus on Africa?
The gigantic acreage in Africa has been underfarmed because there is not much infrastructure, not much machinery, not much expertise, not much fertilizer. I think the world is going to have huge food problems in the next few years. Other people seem to see that, too, so they’re buying up farmland. You can either buy it or lease it. It’s very, very cheap, it’s incredibly fertile, and it hasn’t been overexploited. And if you take in some expertise and some machinery and some fertilizer, you should make a lot of money. The labor’s cheap, everything’s cheap.

So you think Africa is a good investment opportunity?
I think it’s a fantastic investor opportunity. Now there are over 50 countries in Africa, so we can’t make too gross a generalization. But I mean, in the Congo, you don’t even have to plant anything. You just sit by the road long enough, something will grow. Yes, I am very, very optimistic.

What’s your outlook for commodities in 2010?
I’m not smart enough to know. But I will say that if the world economy gets better, then commodities will be one of the best places to be because of the shortages that are developing. If the world economy does not get better, commodities will still be the place to be because governments are printing all this money.

Tim Geithner has been under attack lately. How’s he doing?
Listen, I have been a critic for years. Geithner should never have been appointed to anything. He’s been wrong about just about everything for 15 years.

Do you think he’ll lose his job?
Of course he’s going to lose his job, because as Mr. Obama realizes that Geithner doesn’t know what he’s doing, he’s going to look for somebody else because he doesn’t want to take the heat himself. So he’s going to look to blame somebody, and the obvious person is Geithner.

Jim Rogers:My First Million- Financial Times November 20,009

Admin — Sat, 21 Nov 2009 15:13:06 +0000

As a Jim Rogers fan, it’s been a relatively quiet November. It has also been half year since Jim Rogers latest book A Gift To My Children: A Father’s Lessons for Life and Investing was released. Thus, I feel this interview with the Financial Times comes a bit late but nevertheless worth it considering how many people in America still lack some sort of financial education. I thought the question on what was his most spectacular gain.

“What has been your most spectacular gain?

The Quantum Fund. When we started the company in 1970, I had $600 in my pocket. Within 10 years, the portfolio had gained 4,200 per cent.”

I was honestly expecting an answer such as “We put a trillion into gold as a gold mine in Tahiti would be discovered.” But his answer could not have been better. Check out the complete interview by clicking on the link below.
