Jim Rogers : Right now as I look at the world, I’m not
terribly optimistic. The American stock market has been in a bull market
now 6½ years. In America, we’ve had economic setbacks every four to
seven years since the beginning of the republic, and chances are we’re
getting closer to being due for some kind of correction, bear market
even. And the next bear market is going to be worse than most of us have
experienced because the debt is so much higher.
You
know, we had a problem in 2008 because of high debt, but since then,
debt worldwide has gone through the roof. I mean nobody has reduced
their debt, almost no nation has reduced its debt since 2008—the debt
has gotten higher and higher. So the next time around, we are going to
have a very serious problem.
What I’m
saying is that I’m not racing around looking for markets. I’m afraid
that the big picture is such that we are going to have more problems in
the next year or two, and being long most stocks or most investments is
not going to be great. - in Barron's
