Jim Rogers : I've been shorting some emerging markets like India and Turkey. If you can only visit one country in your life, I urge you, plead with you, to go to India. It's the most extraordinary country in the world for historic sights, breadth of culture, etc. But, boy, it's a hopelessly managed place. Countries like India, Turkey, Indonesia that have big balance-of-trade deficits could easily finance things when there's all this free money. But when people realize there won't always be this artificial liquidity, then there'll be problems. - in Barron's
