Jim Rogers on Korea Economic Forecast for 2016

"Korea's largest trading partners ― Japan, the U.S., China and Europe ― are all suffering," Jim Rogers, the legendary billionaire investor and chairman of Rogers Holdings, told The Korea Times. "The U.S. is struggling, while Japan and much of Europe are in recession. That's what's going to happen to Korea. "The world is suffering and you are part of the world. If the U.S., Japan and Europe have problems, you too will have problems."

Jim Rogers: Korea to become The Next Power House ahead of Japan and China if United

 Jim Rogers: Yes, and Korea, when it’s united, is going to be probably the most exciting country in the world for a decade or two. You know, this will be a country of 75 million people right on the Chinese border with vast, vast natural resources and disciplined, cheap labor up in the North, vast amounts of capital and expertise in the South, and they will be a powerhouse. They’ll run circles around the Japanese, who’ve got gigantic debt and a declining population. The Japanese are against it, by the way. The Japanese are very much against this sort of development, but it’s going to be very, very exciting. And the changes in North Korea – I mean, it’s where China was in 1980, where Myanmar was in 2010. I mean, it’s all happening right now before our eyes. The American press is full of always U.S. propaganda, as we all know, but no, it’s happening as we speak.

Jim Rogers : Korea Reunification bad for Japan

Jim Rogers: I’ve been there, and when I was were there were signs everywhere urging unification. In America, we are told it is an isolated, weird nation – a hermit nation. I went there and found that was totally false, like so much propaganda. Literally, there were signs everywhere that said “one nation,” “we want unity,” etc. They have been taught for many years to reach out for unification and the people are ready for it. I could see what was happening. They can see what is happening in China. All those lieutenants thirty years ago went to Beijing and Moscow. Now they are generals and they go to Beijing and Moscow, and they come home and say, “You can’t believe what has happened in Beijing, Shanghai, Moscow since they opened up – and we’re still sitting here in mud huts.” The old guy [Kim Jong-Il] knew this too. He lived outside, even if he was strange, the message got through. He didn’t want to return to North Korea, he wanted to stay in Hong Kong (I agree with him.) The kid there now [Kim Jong-Un] was schooled in Switzerland. He sees what’s out there. And they have their own needs, they need money, they need expertise, they need everything. It doesn’t make any sense for them to stay separate. I thought it might even happen under the father, but now that he is dead, it is going to happen much sooner. The main people against unification are the Japanese. Once you combine Korea, you have a country of 75 million people with huge natural resources in the north, vast cheap educated labor (at least disciplined labor) in the north, combined with capital and expertise in the south, all right on the Chinese border. They will run circles around Japan. Japan will not be able to compete with them, and the Japanese know it. Once there’s unification I am very optimistic, Korea might even be able to compete with China.

Jim Rogers on Korea war and Gold

Jim Rogers :"If the war is breaking out, gold is going to continue to go higher over the decades; high gold was and has been in a normal correction, gold was well over $1400 an ounce but gold has been correcting down, went down may be $100 an ounce. Do not know exactly how much it went down.


So within a normal correction if this scare is up, of course people are going to jump in the gold, they always do. If this scare is real, then gold is going to go a lot higher on this route, it will go to, you fix a number, I do not know. However, if tomorrow the North Koreans say ‘oh gosh, we made a mistake. We are sorry’, then things will calm down a great deal, but gold is going to go much higher over the decades, we talked about that several times. " via ET Now

I do not invest in Korea . Korean investment regulations absurd Jim Rogers

Jim Rogers on the Korea Herald 16 Oct 2009

"I have various views on Korea, but do not invest there since Korea makes it extremely complicated for foreigners to invest there," Rogers said.

"It's a wonderful country, I love it there," he added
