I would not be buying stocks. Stocks are going to be, at best, in a trading range for years to come just as they were in the 1970s

Jim Rogers : Well, I am short emerging markets. So I do know emerging markets have been going down quite a lot for a while as you know. Last time we spoke, I told I would short emerging markets and I am also short American technology stocks. If the market crescendos and as the selling climax is weak, I will have to cover, but if I buy something I would buy agricultural commodities. I would not be buying stocks. Stocks are going to be, at best, in a trading range for years to come just as they were in the 1970s. - in ET Now

Jim Rogers :.....If I am going to do defensive buying, I would not buy stocks. If the world economy does not get better, stocks are going to fall apart, but commodities might seem to go up because of so much money being turned in and because shortages are developing.
