JIM ROGERS VIDEO INTERVIEW with ET NOW [FULL]

"I am short on EMs like India and Indonesia,"

 ET Now: You have said you are negative India because of a host of reasons. We have corrected a bit today. How much further do you think the Indian equity markets can slide down?
Jim Rogers: I am not very good at market timing or short term trading. I expect India to have serious problems. Much of the world is going to have serious problems. India, Indonesia, Turkey - you are not the only one. I am not picking on you, but your politicians and other politicians have made terrible mistakes and now we are going to have to pay the price.
ET Now: With gold prices soaring to the levels of 32600, what are the commodities that you are currently betting on?
Jim Rogers: I have started buying some sugar. I am not sure of how I got my timing right, I am never very good at it, but I am more bullish on agriculture. Some agriculture prices are very depressed. Sugar, for instance, in the western market is down over 75% from its all-time high. Especially for India and places that I mentioned, you are going to need to protect yourselves from currency debasement and currency decline. So think of real assets.
ET Now: What about gold? MCX gold by virtue of what the currency has done as well is trading at newer highs. It has gained quite a bit in the last few days as well. How much further do you think gold can move up to - internationally or possibly in India?
Jim Rogers: I bought some internationally when it collapsed. When it got to $1200, I bought some just in case I suspect that there are going to be future opportunities in the international markets. India has got their situation with your currency which makes it more and more difficult for you to judge the timing because you have to get the currency and the western price of gold right. I am not buying gold in the west at the moment. I am just watching, expecting another chance to buy. But if war breaks out in the next week or month or something, who knows how high India is going to go and it looks like war might break out.
ET Now: If indeed there are these Middle Eastern tensions that come out as well, do you think prices of both gold and crude will go up in the near term?
Jim Rogers: They will absolutely move up. They will certainly move up. They might move up so much that one will have to sell them. They may spike up depending upon what kind of war it is and how the war evolves. If oil goes up to a couple of hundred dollars a barrel on the war, then I would probably have to sell it because it would be a spike and no matter how bad the war is, I do not think it would keep the prices that high. Likewise with gold, if it went up a whole lot, I would have to sell it and it could happen. But at the moment, I am not buying gold or oil in the west. In India, you have a serious problem because of your economy and your currency. You do need to own real assets in India.
