Pound Is ‘Terribly Flawed’ -Jim Rogers

Admin — Sat, 23 May 2009 15:52:23 +0000

It wasn’t too long ago Jim Rogers gave his thoughts on the state of the European economy and the British pound. Now, in an interview with Sky News, Jim Rogers reminds our British friends across the pond his gloomy outlook. These comments come a day after Standard and Poor’s revision of Britain’s AAA rating to a negative outlook.

“Of course it’s going to come, it’s going to come in the US as well,” Mr Rogers told Sky’s Nina de Roy.

“The US should be downgraded already if you ask me, and the UK as well.”

“Both the US and the UK unfortunately both have gigantic debts, and both sets of politicians are making mistakes,” Mr Rogers said.

“They’re pouring huge amounts of money into the economy which is going to make some things look better for some people for a while, but it won’t last.”

Crucially, Mr Rogers believes the famous rating agencies are scared of revealing the dire state of American finances.

Hungry For Raw Materials- Jim Rogers

Admin — Wed, 20 May 2009 13:15:39 +0000

Raw materials prices are on the rise. The Rogers International Commodity Index, which represents the value of a basket of commodities consumed globally, has gained nearly 10% since the beginning of the year, compared with the S&P 500, which has only added 2.8% in the same period.

“The strong fundamentals behind commodities haven’t changed. All the things that have been going on the past 30 years are still in place,” Rogers noted. “Agricultural supplies are at their lowest in decades. The fundamentals didn’t collapse during this last crisis, there were just huge liquidations everywhere causing price declines.”

“Throughout history, whenever governments have printed money, it has led to higher prices on real things, and currently you have governments all over the world printing money,” Rogers said. “If you’re going to sell something, sell your stocks, because if economies are going to get better, then commodities will lead. And even if economies don’t improve, commodities are still the place to be because of the printing money situation and because of the supply situation.”

Gold prices may go to a bottom: Jim Rogers

Admin — Mon, 04 May 2009 18:22:13 +0000

Via: Commodity Online

Will the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) decision to sell 403 metric tons of gold drive down gold prices? Yes, gold prices will plunge to $700 or below that if and when IMF really sells its gold reserves, says legendary global commodities investor Jim Rogers.

”The fact is that IMF is trying to get permission from everybody to sell gold. I don’t know it will succeed or not. But if and when IMF sells its gold, gold prices may go to a bottom. Who knows? It may go down to US$700. IMF has got a lot of gold to sell. If it does, I hope I’m brave enough and smart enough to buy more,” Rogers told Bloomberg Radio in an interview.

Rogers launched the Rogers International Commodity Index in 1998. The index is a composite, US dollar-based, total return index, designed to meet the need for consistent investing in a broad based international vehicle. The Index represents the value of a basket of commodities consumed in the global economy, ranging from agricultural to energy to metal products.

Rogers who is hot on China has been investing heavily into Chinese investment and agricultural funds in the last year. According to Rogers, three billion people living in Asia, most of them in India and China, will account for a major portion of the total demand for commodities in the coming years.

Rogers, author of such famous books like Hot Commodities and A Bull in China, recently launched an agricultural commodities index focused on food consumption in China. In an interview to Commodity Online Rogers said recently: “China is a fascinating place to invest in. China is on the rise, like America 100 years ago, and the problems the Asian giant is encountering right now in certain, mainly export-driven, sectors of its economy will not alter the country’s long-term trajectory. “
