Jim Rogers - Commodities in a major secular bull market - CNBC 5/9/2011

Jim Rogers, Rogers Holdings Chairman; Richard Soultanian, NUS Consulting Group; and Scott Nations, NationsShares, discuss the world market outlook for commodities.



Jim Rogers : "..well, I own commodities. we're in a major secular bull market which has several more years to go. there'll be setbacks just as we saw last week, but don't worry."


" it's going to cut demand for oil for a week or two. the CME seems to have it in their heads they've got to make oil commodity prices going down, they're worried about Washington or something. but in the end, it doesn't matter. if there's not enough oil, there's not enough oil, no matter what the CME or Washington does. "
" it may slow demand down, yes, but there's also declining supply. the IEA, the international energy agency says the supply reserves are declining at the rate of 6% a year. do the arithmetic, supply is going down even if demand goes down."


" well, I actually own a few u.s. dollars , I know, it's embarrassing, isn't it? it's embarrassing, i know. but i agree that they probably will stop QE2, at least for a while. the dollar's been beaten down by everybody, everybody's bearish, including me, it should have a rally, so we'll see."
