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.

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 must be getting a lot of requests for interviews. My guess is, media companies are scrambling to get as many high profile names as possible to give their opinion on the recent market crash in which the Dow dropped more than 1,000 points in a matter of minutes (hours?). Another individual in the same boat is Marc Faber, but he tends to be on television/radio more often.
