Jim Rogers: Bought a few shares in Africa recently

Jim Rogers:    Mainly I’m sitting and watching, not doing much of anything, because if anything I would think that the market should be going down, because we’ve had a six-year run with virtually no corrections in the United States and therefore most of the world. So I’m mainly sitting and watching and trying to figure out what to do. I have a few longs, I have a few shorts, but for the most part, I have to figure out what to do. I’ve bought some Russian shares recently; not much. Bought a few shares in Africa recently, not much. Mainly, I guess, it’s just that I’m confused, and part of the reason that I’m confused is because of what’s happening in Syria. Now all of a sudden, the Russians are bombing us, bombing ISIS, who knows how this is going to work out? -- via midasletter.com
