Jim Rogers finds plenty to do in Singapore.

Jim Rogers : “Most of our lives revolve around Singaporeans. [The girls] have one or two American friends. Most of their friends are Singaporeans. They’re the only blue-eyed kids in the school. Everyone we know is Singaporean. We do know a few Americans, but very few. I guess that’s partly because most of the expats that come to Singapore are here for two or three years.”

“We’re never at a loss for a symphony, plays. There’s plenty of stuff for us to do in Singapore. More and more events come to Singapore. I’ve heard people say Singapore was boring. Maybe it was once upon a time. It certainly has not been boring for us.”

Jim Rogers On Economic Collapse And The US Debt

With the Dow and S&P 500 at all-time highs, Jim Rogers, famed investor and author of Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets, tells The Daily Ticker he is staying far away from U.S. stocks and looking for opportunities in markets that are beaten-up. In the accompanying video

Enthusiasm around China came after the State Council reiterated its desire to liberalize finance in areas such as IPOs and limits on foreign investment -- even though some of these measures were originally announced months ago.

He says he's not buying much in China though, because of the country's "big debt problem" -- his concerns stem from China's shadow banking system, specifically.

When it comes to Russia, the country's markets have been more than rattled by the crisis in Ukraine, with the main stock index falling 10% in March and the ruble losing 9% against the dollar in the first three months of the year.

Rogers says he bought more Russian stocks during the turmoil in Crimea and is interested in buying more.

Why?
Concerns about a Chinese hard-landing set off by Beijing's efforts to deflate the credit bubble are making headlines again.

Rogers told us that we shouldn't be very concerned about the slowdown in the Chinese economy. However, he does worry about China's debt at the local levels.

Business Insider: What worries you the most about China right now?
Jim Rogers: The high levels of debt artificial liquidity all over the world.

All the money printing in the developed world is causing distortions everywhere including China. How concerned economic slowdown in China? India's government has accused global investment bank Goldman Sachs of interfering in the country's domestic politics after it raised market ratings citing "optimism over political change".

Commerce Minister Anand Sharma said Goldman's latest report where it suggested the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) could topple his ruling Congress party in 2014 polls "made Goldman's credibility and motives highly suspect".

Russia and China have just signed what is being called "the gas deal of the century"

Russia and China have just signed what is being called "the gas deal of the century", and the two countries are discussing moving away from the U.S. dollar and using their own currencies to trade with one another. This has huge implications for the future of the U.S. economy, but the mainstream media in the United States is being strangely quiet about all of this.

JR: Not much. The government is and has been trying to cool real estate. On the other hand, the Plenary Session in November decided to emphasize several sectors over the next decade or so. Those industries will be doing better no matter what happens in the world. So some will be improving; some declining. The government is trying to cool real estate so I would avoid [that].

JR: Few seem to understand the historical significance of what is happening there. E.g. Gordon Chang has been writing books and articles since 2001 predicting the collapse of China and the disappearance of the Communist Party. Jim Chanos has been predicting the collapse of China since 2009 saying it will be "1000 times worse than Dubai". [I explained at the time that showed no understanding of Dubai or of China.] Many in China do not fully understand either. China Disrupts Google Search and Gmail Ahead of Tiananmen Square Anniversary

As the US was rising to its power and glory during the 19th Century, we had a horrible civil war, 15 depressions human rights, little rule of law, periodic massacres in the streets, etc., etc. yet we still became the most successful country in the 20th Century.

Jim Rogers on North Korea and South Korea

James Beeland Rogers, Jr. (born October 19, 1942) is an American investor and author. He is currently based in Singapore. Rogers is the Chairman of Rogers Holdings and Beeland Interests, Inc. He was the co-founder of the Quantum Fund with George Soros and creator of the Rogers International Commodities Index (RICI). In December 2007, Rogers sold his mansion in New York City for about 16 million USD and moved to Singapore. Rogers claimed that he moved because now is a ground-breaking time for investment potential in Asian markets. Rogers's first daughter is now being tutored in Mandarin to prepare her for the future. He is quoted as saying: "If you were smart in 1807 you moved to London, if you were smart in 1907 you moved to New York City, and if you are smart in 2007 you move to Asia." In a CNBC interview with Maria Bartiromo broadcast on May 5, 2008, Rogers said that people in China are extremely motivated and driven, and he wants to be in that type of environment, so his daughters are motivated and driven. He also stated that this is how America and Europe used to be. He chose not to move to Chinese cities like Hong Kong or Shanghai due to the high levels of pollution causing potential health problems for his family; hence, he chose Singapore. He has also advocated investing in certain smaller Asian frontier markets such as Sri Lanka and Cambodia, and currently serves as an Advisor to Leopard Capital's Leopard Sri Lanka Fund.[8] However, he is not fully bullish on all Asian nations, as he remains skeptical of India's future - "India as we know it will not survive another 30 or 40 years".[9] In 2008 Rogers endorsed Ron Paul for President of the United States. 2013 2014 myanmar burma "wall street" passion world "north korea" invest investment change "south east asia" asia east west "jim rogers" investing stamps gold silver coins "stock market" open depressed depression natural "cheap labour" tourism china chinese war communism passport citizen japan japanese population potential fortune money "black market" business control currency economy commodity premium "gold bullion" "gold coin" interview india indian russia bearish bear bull future 829speedy In September 2012 Rogers was appointed by VTB Capital as an advisor to the agricultural division of its global private equity unit. Rogers noted: "Russia and the CIS region have all the ingredients needed to become the world's agriculture powerhouse. It seems that everything may now be coming together under VTB Capital to make this happen, so I am keen to participate."[12] Investment views In 2002, Rogers said that Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan's "reaction to the stock-market bubble has caused two more bubbles to grow: a real-estate bubble and a consumer-debt bubble."[13] In 2006, Rogers said he was shorting US financials, home builders and Fannie Mae.[14][15]3 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. There's no stock market. No internet. No e-mail. And despite a wealth of natural resources, from rice to gold to hydrocarbons, it's one of the poorest countries in the world. Still, I think there's a great a way to invest in the future of Myanmar: Go there. Nestled in Southeast Asia along the Bay of Bengal, Myanmar is undoubtedly the most isolated and insular nation we have visited. Crossing the border from India was like stepping back in time: Roads that had been filled with cars in India were suddenly packed only with bicycles and ox-carts. Local craftsman we met in villages measured time by watching water drip into a coconut shell. Outside of the major cities, one is hard pressed to find regular electricity. It's a lush and beautiful land: mountains in the west, north and east border a fertile river valley. Rudyard Kipling's famed "Road to Mandalay" is actually not a road but a river-the Irrawaddy-and it is still the country's primary commercial route leading down the center of the country to the Bay of Bengal

Jim Rogers, Nick Gillespie, Steve Forbes, Wayne Allyn Root, Jenny Beth Martin ~ Free Lunch or Shit Sandwich?

The final panel at Freedom Fest 2013 was titled "Are We Rome?" and featured Reason's Nick Gillespie, publisher Steve Forbes, Tea Party Express head Jenny Beth Martin, writer Wayne Allyn Root, and investment guru Jim Rogers.

At one point, Rogers noted that about half of Americans lived in households who were getting direct payments from the federal government, a situation he felt made real political change next to impossible.

"Fifty percent of the country is getting a free lunch, said Gillespie, "but nobody wants a shit sandwich anymore. And that's what you're getting in terms of education, health care and retirement."

Moderated by conference organizer Mark Skousen, the panel discussed a wide variety of topics including government spending, regulation, foreign policy, the drug war, and more.

Held each July in Las Vegas, Freedom Fest is attended by more than 2,000 limited-government enthusiasts and libertarians. Each year, Reason TV talks with dozens of activists, speakers, and authors such as David Boaz of the Cato Institute, economist Peter Boettke, publisher Jeffrey Tucker, journalist Gene Epstein, legal scholar Randy Barnett, and tax advocate Grover Norquist.

The World is moving to Asia

Q: The just completed third plenum meeting provided a road-map for China's future reforms. It created this renewed sense of optimism about China's future. Do you share that feeling? 

Jim Rogers :  I was quite delighted to see what they said. The one overriding point is that the market is going to make the final decision. That is contrary to what is happening in the U.S., and that is why the world is moving to Asia. - in chinamoneypodcast

Jim Rogers: There is excess supply in The Crude Market at the moment because of the Shale Boom in the US

ET Now: With tensions in Middle East subsiding and higher inventories from US, do you see a continuation of the supply-demand mismatch for oil market?

Jim Rogers: There is excess supply in the crude market at the moment because of the Shale boom in the US. I am not sure how much long that is going to last because those wells are very short lived.
But, at the moment there is a glut and we could very well see lower prices. However, do not sell your crude. If prices go down there will first be a cut back on the Shale. Shale has to have high prices in order to bring it to market and secondly oil is going to go much higher over the decade. Other known reserves are in decline, every other country in the world has declining reserves. This is a temporary thing. - in ET NOW : Click Here to watch the full interview >>>>>

The World Economies are not getting so much better because of all the Money Printing

Jim Rogers : For the first time in recorded history, all the major central banks in the world are printing money at the same time. So, the world is floating on a huge artificial lake of liquidity. It (the liquidity) has got to go somewhere and most of it is going into markets. The world economies are not getting so much better but the markets are certainly much better because of all the money printing.- in ET Now : Click Here to watch the full interview >>>>>>

JIM ROGERS INVESTING in The Chinese Agricultural & Environmental Sectors

American investor Jim Rogers says he is investing in Chinese stocks again after seeing opportunities on the mainland for the first time in five years, reports the Guangzhou-based Southern Metropolis Daily.
Rogers, the billionaire co-founder of the privately owned hedge fund Quantum, shared his investment insights over the weekend at an economic discussion forum in Guanghzou.
The 71-year-old Rogers said his recommendation for investors is to keep a close eye on the movements of the Chinese government and news headlines, and to research new trends in the market.
Beijing will infuse a lot of funds to support various industries over the next few years, and if you are going to invest in anything, it is best to choose industries and companies supported by government policy, Rogers said.

This is How Jim Rogers is Playing The Russian Market

 Other than that, emerging markets are doing OK. I was pessimistic about Russia for 46 years, and I think it's becoming the second most-hated market in the world, after Argentina. But I see positive changes taking place, so I'm looking. I bought a few shares of an index, and a few shares of Aeroflot [ticker: AFLT.Russia] because I see positive changes taking place in airlines. I also like Myanmar. There aren't many stocks you can buy there, and they're just building a stock market. But Nok Airlines [NOK.Thailand] is a regional airline making inroads there. In the long run I'm excited about Myanmar. - in a recent Barron's Interview

Jim Rogers 10 Investing Tips from Street Smarts

1. If you were smart at the start of the 19th century, you made your way to London. If you were smart at the start of the 20th century, you moved to New York. And if you are smart at the start of the 21st century, you will find your way to Asia.

2. We are in a long secular bull market in commodities worldwide. Like all bull markets, it will end in a bubble. But the bull market still has several years to go.

3. It is good to lose money, to go broke at least once, and preferably twice. But if you are going to do it, do it early in your career. Do it early and it is not the end of the world. . . it teaches you how much you do not know.

4. The way you become a successful investor is by investing only in what you yourself have a wealth of knowledge about. Everybody knows a lot about something. Cars, fashion, whatever it is. . . just take a look at your daily life. Concentrate on what you know. . . you will see a major change coming long before anybody on Wall Street will.

5. Most successful investor do nothing most of the time. Do not confuse movement with action. Know when to sit and wait.

6. If I were to tell you that you could only make twenty-five investments in your lifetime, chances are you would be extremely careful about investing. Invest very rarely.

7. If you want to make a lot of money, resist diversification. Brokers promote the motion that everybody should diversity. But that is mainly to protect themselves. The way to get rich is to find what is good, focus on it, and concentrate your resources there.

8. New York is the economic and cultural capital of what is now the largest debtor nation in the world, the largest debtor nation in the history of the world. The world’s largest creditor nations are in Asia. That is where the assets are. That is where the dynamism and energy are.

9. Alan Greenspan’s greatest strengths were those of a politician. The way capitalism is supposed to work is that when people get in trouble, they fail. Smart, competent people come in, take over the assets, reorganize, and start again from a sound base. Greenspan’s way was to prop up failure. He and the politicians were taking money from competent people, giving it to the incompetent people, and telling the incompetent people, “Here, the government is on your side. Now you can compete with the competent people with their money and our support.”

10. I am dying to find a way to invest in both North Korea and Myanmaar. The major changes in these two countries are among the most exciting things I see right now, looking to the future. Another think I am extremely bullish on for the next twenty or thirty years is Chinese tourism. The Chinese have not been able to t ravel for decades, and now they can. Both inside and outside the country, Chinese tourism will explode

Jim Rogers : I dont like to Buy China except when it Collapses

Investors have become skeptical about China—the shadow banking system, infrastructure spending, etc. The market is well off its 2007 high. Are you concerned?
 
Jim Rogers : In general, I don't like to buy China except when it collapses. The last time I bought China in any significant way was in October, November of 2008. But if and when the market falls, I'll buy.
I've read all those skeptical stories about China for many years, and so far they haven't come true. There will be setbacks: In the 19th century, as America was rising to power and glory, we had 15 depressions, virtually no human rights, little rule of law, massacres in the streets. We had a horrible civil war. You could buy and sell Congressmen in those days—you can still buy and sell Congressmen, but in those days they were a lot cheaper. Sure, China will have problems. But I'm not going to tell my children to switch over to Danish, because China is going to be the next great country in the world. You'll see problems and setbacks, but if you can find the right industries, companies, people, you will do well.- in a recent Barron's Interview

“China has been trying to slow its economy for quite some time now. They’ve had an inflation problem. They’ve had a real estate bubble. But I know . . . that something positive is going on in China and has been for a while. They are growing, they have a high savings rate, they have a high rate of investment, and they have huge international reserves,”

Jim Rogers on 21st Century China

Jim Rogers : ...if they (China ) become the savior then they will have a major seat at the table it is going to improve their position at the IMF it is going to improve their position with the World Bank it is going to improve their position at the UN , the Europeans are going to have to be more and more friendly to China because China is saving them , America cannot save them Russia cannot save them so ...Europe is going to be more China friendly than it has been in the past , they are going to the European and they say OK let's be friendly we are giving you all this money we are bailing you out you be now friendly and supporting to us , instead of listening to Washington too much you call us first and if we want more representation at international bodies such as the World Bank then you should listen to our candidate , Chinese have a huge international reserves they are the largest creditor nation in the world they have about three trillion US Dollars in various currencies , Internally yes they have had too much inflation and they are trying to cool that inflation off , but externally their international situation they got lots of liquidity and they can do whatever they want " - in Goldseek Radio
