Q: You have been bullish on the RMB for a long time, but the RMB only appreciated for roughly 12% since 2008. You can't say that it's a great performance as an investment?
Jim Rogers : That depends on what you compare with. There are many other currencies that were down. We presume one has earned interest as well even if it's just put into a CD (certificate of deposit). Don't forget that those interests get compounded.
But you are right, there are many other investments that could have made a lot more money. But the point is the currency has continued to appreciate and will continue to appreciate. It may be double or triple in the next 10 to 20 years.
