Every CEO has confirmed this fact during their quarterly earning conference calls for the past year. Resources must be devoted to developing Asian markets and their prospering middle-class consumers, while domestic hiring plans are put on hold.

If investing in these markets is prudent, then it may also be wise to invest in the native currencies for the long term. Many of these currencies have been “pegged” to the U.S. Dollar or a basket of currencies, and therefore, a common forex trading platform cannot easily aid in the purchase of them, but over time, government officials will have to let these currencies float, if only to quell inflationary pressures at home.

The “Yuan”, or “Renmenbi” as it is often called, is China’s national currency. Backed by foreign exchange reserves in excess of $2.4 trillion and an industrial growth curve that will make China the world’s economic leader by 2020, the value of this currency can only go up. Buying it is difficult, as with other emerging market currencies, but there are ETFs that have been created just for this purpose.

The “CEW” is but one of the many new offerings in the past few years to facilitate owning emerging market currencies on a diversified basis. The chart above indicates an upward trend for all of last year, and the technical indicator on the bottom of the chart, the “Slow Stochastic”, has consistently signaled appropriate overbought and oversold conditions for those favoring a trader’s mentality.

Economists project emerging market growth trends to continue to 2030. Currencies will follow.

It has been about a month since Jim Rogers made a significant appearance on television so the fact that he went on CNBC was great for those who are interested in to what he has to say. A couple of major topics were covered in latest interview with CNBC such as the rallying Yen, Euro, and the economy. A new commodity Jim mentions and I have no idea whether he favors it or not, is Rice. I couldn’t find an ETF for it though so maybe doing a bit of investigating into other major commodity ETF’s will bring up something. Other commodity Jim Rogers is Silver which he has been a bull for quite some time now.

It took a while, but Jim Rogers appeared on CNBC again. This time around, Jim Rogers is expecting a recession in about a year and a half. I’m still a bit young compared to most of CNBC’s audience, but I never knew there seems to be a recession in the U.S. every 4 to 6 years. This made me think about the recent recessions and whether it was true. Looking back now, it does appear to be true. But, maybe because I have a better idea about economics or the media hype surrounding the 2008 market, at least historically, this recession appears to be pretty bad don’t you think? It seems as more and more people are barely getting by. As a senior in college, its frightening that I will have to compete against MBA’s and PhD’s for a job, when they should have no problem being employed.

I felt he could of been more informed and better prepared for the interview but we will take whatever is out there at this point.

In a recent interview with CNBC, Jim Rogers reminds viewers to look forward when investing in the markets. An interesting fact, is the the fact that America has quintupled (5x) its debt. Currently, Jim Rogers continues to be bullish on commodities and short stocks. He also rather be invested with creditor nations such as those in Asia as opposed to creditor nation. Another interesting thing, is Jim Rogers persistence on telling individuals the opportunities in Farming as a career. We mention this because it has been an ongoing theme since the beginning of this website and there seems to be no shift towards a Farming degree.

Jim Rogers On Silver and the Yuan

  • Jim Rogers doesn’t expect the Euro to be around in 10 years
  • Currently, very happy that the Chinese are going to be more flexible but they are simply continuing a policy that started in 2005
  • The U.S. is the largest debtor nation in the history world
  • Doesn’t like to buy things hitting all time highs
  • Rather buy depressed metals like Silver and Palladium
  • Agriculture commodities are still depressed. For example, sugar.
  • Less drilling, less oil. Less oil leads to higher prices.

This is not the first time they have hinted about letting their currency float and in my opinion a case of “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

Jim Rogers:Bloomberg 6-21-10

  • Jim Rogers hopes it will finally be able to find trade on its own and find its own value
  • The Chinese will do what they feel is best for China as opposed to listening to the Obama administration
  • It’s not such a big deal as it doesn’t solve too many problems
  • China currently has a bubble in urban coastal real estate
