Jim Rogers : Gold is going to shake out the mystics – there are still a lot of mystics in the market

Jim Rogers : “Gold was setting us up for some kind of correction,” Rogers said in a Sunday night telephone interview from his home. “Gold needed a correction – it still needs a correction – and I hope this is the proper correction which gold needs. Then gold – somewhere along the way – will make a bottom and we can all join in the bull market as [it] goes higher and higher.” “Gold has to go a lot higher over the next decade or so, because [the world's central banks] keep printing money,” he said. Of course, it was just one week ago when gold suffered its worst two-day rout in 30 years. And even though that’s been followed by a five-day winning streak that was capped off by a 2.3% gain yesterday, gold is still in bear-market territory. “Gold is going to shake out the mystics – there are still a lot of mystics in the market,” Rogers said. “I have guys writing me saying this couldn’t be happening. I say, “Well, get out your quote machines, it is happening’.” - in a recent phone interview with ETF Daily
