Jim Rogers : I see shortages of commodities and natural resources coming

Jim Rogers : “Right now, the U.S. and Europe are the largest economies in the world. If and when the U.S. and Europe have problems, everyone is going to have problems, it doesn't matter if you’re a creditor and doing everything right or not, you’re going to have problems and so are they. But they are trying to re-orient. Asian countries are going around the world buying up plantations, buying up oil fields, buying up natural resources. I see shortages of commodities and natural resources coming and apparently they do too. China is making their currency more international so they can stop using the U.S. dollar when they’re ready to. Japan does most of its trade with Asia now [instead of the U.S.].”

Jim Rogers : Eventually, the money runs out

Jim Rogers : “Eventually, the money runs out. As long as you can trick enough people and they put up the money, you can keep going. But eventually. throughout history, the money has always run out, and people eventually say, ‘We’re not going to give you anymore,’ such as Greece, the current example. “The UK in 1918 was the richest, most powerful country in the world, by far, but within three generations they were bankrupt – they couldn’t even sell government bonds – and had to be bailed out by the IMF. Throughout history, it always runs out when you spend other peoples’ money.”

Jim Rogers : in China they save & invest over 35% of their income

Jim Rogers : “Most of Asia, in my view, is not [making mistakes],” said Rogers. “They have a very high savings rate, a very high rate of investing, which is how you develop economies. Japan is the one exception to that. They’ve got staggering internal debts. But in China they save and invest over 35% of their income. Here in Singapore where I live, they also have a very high savings rate. Asia is doing better [than everywhere else]. The largest creditor nations in the world are China, Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore…this is where the assets are. You know who the debtors are and where they are, and they keep running up debts, and the savers and investors keep building up their savings. So, I’d rather be with the creditors than the debtors.”

Jim Rogers : I Learned Investing on my own

Jim Rogers : “I didn't know anything about investing,”
“I had to learn my own way and learn what worked. I made some mistakes in the beginning, and making mistakes of course is very good, people should learn from their mistakes, and I certainly did. But then once I realized how I thought the world worked, I started investing accordingly, and that was fairly early in my career and we did have a successful period. “I still don’t have a job, so I guess I’m still paying my rent based on my investments.”

Jim Rogers : I learned at Yale & Oxford the sense of history

Jim Rogers : “The main thing I learned [at Yale and Oxford] was a sense of history. No matter what you think today, it’s not going to be true in ten years. and that’s extremely important in the investment business if you want to be successful. I also learned some philosophy, which taught me how to think and to question everything, and to realize that most things which people accept and believe are not true. And so this sense of skepticism combined with a sense of history, and the ability to question everything around me, was a little bit of a help.”
