JIM ROGERS says Buy China, Russia & Japan




Roughly seven years ago, when China’s economy was surging and dollars were cheaper, “commodities” was one of the sexiest words in the investment lexicon.

Seven years later, many commodities—including oil, copper, and gold—have fallen in value and out of favor for a host of reasons. So what’s next for this timeless asset class? In a piece published Wednesday, Street Authority writer David Sterman discussed what legendary investor Jim Rogers is thinking about an investment category he has helped promote in recent years.

Over the past two decades, Rogers, who rose to fame in the 1970s when he partnered with George Soros to run the highly successful Quantum Fund, has staked his reputation on the belief that commodity prices would get a lift from growing demand from the emerging nations of Asia for food and basic building materials.

He even helped develop a series of commodity-related exchange-traded funds tied to proprietary indexes, including the Rogers International Commodity ETN (ticker: RJI ).

As Sterman writes, Rogers “concedes that he didn’t expect the current commodities meltdown, but is sticking with his view that commodities are still in a long-term bull market.” Now that the Russian economy is tanking, Jim Rogers is diving in. "I'm bullish on Russia," he told Bloomberg's Mark Barton on Tuesday "...Things are changing in the Kremlin, in my view. And so, therefore, I started investing," he said.

Although Rogers said that he's been bearish on Russia "for 46 years," he actually expressed similar views on CNBC back in 2012. "I'm convinced things are changing in Russia for the first time," he said back then.

"The attitude [in Russia] used to be: just take the money away from them, shoot them, put them in jail, whatever it is. Bankrupt them if we don't like you. But that's changed. Somebody there realizes [that] you cannot treat foreigners, or foreign investors, or capital that way," "The days of communism and the KGB is over," he added. "So they've started doing things differently. And so, I've started investing in Russia." In May 2012 he remarked during an interview with Forbes Magazine that "there's going to be a huge shift in American society, American culture, in the places where one is going to get rich. The stock brokers are going to be driving taxis. The smart ones will learn to drive tractors so they can work for the smart farmers. The farmers are going to be driving Lamborghinis. I’m telling you. You should start Forbes Farming."[17] From Bitcoin to the Swiss gold referendum, and from Chinese trade and North Korean leadership, Jim Rogers covers a lot of ground in this excellent interview with Boom-Bust's Erin Ade. Rogers reflects on the end of the US bull market. citing a number of factors from breadth to the end of QE, adding that he agrees with Albert Edwards' perspective that now is the time to "sell everything and run for your lives," as the "consequences of [The Fed] are now being felt." Most notably though, Rogers believes the de-dollarization is here to stay as Western sanctions force many nations to find alternatives. Simply put, Rogers concludes, "we are all going to pay a terrible price for all this money-printing and debt."
