Jim Rogers loves Gold invests in Silver

Jim Rogers bullish on Gold and Silver - 22 June 2010 The Street.com

(TheStreet.com) - Legendary investor and author Jim Rogers, chairman of Rogers Holdings , reveals how he's trading gold and which precious metal he thinks has the most upside.
Jim Rogers : "As far as I'm concerned, gold will go certainly much higher over the next decade or so." "Governments all over the world are debasing money at a rapid rate and that has always led to higher prices for real assets throughout history and it will this time too. "....
Jim Rogers: Silver is 70% below its all-time high, 60% or 70% below its all-time high. Gold is making all-time highs.if I were looking at precious metals I would be looking at the ones that haven't moved as much. If one doesn't own gold, and one doesn't want to buy the others for whatever reason, one should start waiting for some sort of correction and then buy some gold. But as I said, the others are much more depressed historically than is gold."
"there is gonna be a huge bubble in precious metals by the end .I don't know when that will be;you know.. ask me in 2018, 2020 ... Most bull markets long term bull markets wind up in a huge mania, a huge bubble before it's over and this one will too. Someday, everybody will own gold. Someday, people will be walking down the streets checking gold prices in shop front windows."

Real estate prices too high in China I am not a buyer Jim Rogers

Investment guru speaking at the International Financial Services Conference (CIFSC) held in Guangzhou recommends real estate in farming and mining areas

When the U.S. real estate prices were 30% to even 40% lower than its peak in 2006, China's real estate prices are hitting a new high. Is there a bubble in China's housing market now?

On this issue, Rogers believes that real estate prices in Shanghai and Hong Kong are too high, and he will not buy, because in the past he has suffered such losses. He added, when any commodity

price goes straight up, we need to be on the alert, and can not follow blindly to make purchase. If you have to buy real estate, I will go for agricultural areas and mining areas, because the farmers will become increasingly rich, and mineral resources will become increasingly valuable.

Jim Rogers Investment Strategy explained by himself 22 july

Jim Rogers Invest where demand is low

Investment guru Jim Rogers, co-founder of the Quantum Fund in the 1980'sexplains in details his investment strategy , Jim Rogers has long been predicting the downturn in the market we're now seeing. But he admits even he didn't think it would come as quickly and furiously as it did after the fall of Lehman Brothers last September.

Q: The way your method works is. You look at the dustbins; you look where people are bearish because that is where you find the bargains?

A: Frequently, I do try to find things that are cheap. Normally if something is cheap, it is because it is in the dustbin; people are not looking at it. If everybody is looking at something or if everybody is investing in something, you know as well as I do, it is not cheap.

Q: More certainty equals less profit?

A: Exactly.

Q: A good lesson in investing is learning the laws of supply and demand. Can you explain that to us?

A: It is very simple. I came to the conclusion at the end of the 90s that the commodities had been in a bear market for about 20 years because there had been excess supply in the 70s, people found oil and a lot of things happened, huge inventories of food buildup. But then by the end of the 90s, I came to the conclusion that nobody built a drilling rig for 20 years and nobody had been discovering oil, farming had been a terrible business, farmers were going bankrupt all over the world. So, I realised that is going to mean there is less supply.

I had driven around the world a couple of times as you know, and I could see that demand was booming. I mean Asia was exploding. The difference in Asia in 1998 and in 1978 was very dramatic. So, I could see that demand was going up for 20 years, and supply going down and that had to mean that the bear market in commodities was going to come to an end. So, I started buying commodities for the first time in the last 15-20 years at that time. Lo and behold, I got it right. Sometimes I get it right.

Q: That works every time, the law of supply and demand. No dictator, no monetary authority has ever been able to change that?

A: They all try. Not just dictators, democracies try. I mean the Indian government, the American government. They all try to abolish the laws of supply and demand, think that they are smarter than anybody else. Periodically, governments put price controls on to food. Recently, the Filipinos put price controls on rice. Now if you were a farmer, you are not going to go into the field over 12 hours a day in the hot sun to raise rice if the government says you can only sell it for 2 pesos. You are just not going to do it.

Best Place to Invest in Asia is Sri Lanka Says Jim Rogers

I was trying to make a point that if anyone wants to invest in this particular part of the world, the best place would be Sri Lanka. Because it looks like the 30-year war is coming to an end.

Throughout history, if you go to a place after the war ends you usually find everything as very cheap, everyone is demoralized, people are just depressed and there are enormous opportunities if you have energy.

In my view, investing in Sri Lanka in May 2009 is probably a better bet than Pakistan, Bangladesh, India or some of the other countries nearby. Let's hope the new Indian government does something. I have heard wonderful things from Indian politicians for 40 years.

And rarely do they produce. It's not the first time that the Congress party has been in the power. If they mean it, India's going to be one of the greatest development stories in the next 20 years. But I don’t know if they mean it.

All Currencies are Fiat , the Dollar will fall off the cliff

Quantitative easing is money printing will cause hyper inflation and the collapse of the dollar ...
The stock market may hit new lows this year or the next as the current rally has been largely caused by the money printed by central banks and fundamental problems remain unsolved, legendary investor Jim Rogers told CNBC Wednesday
jim Rogers opinions concord with those of renowned bear Marc Faber aka doctor Doom , who told CNBC last week that the rises in share prices did not mean the world was embarking on a path of sustainable economic growth.

"I'm not buying shares if that's what you mean. Not at all," Rogers told "Squawk Box Asia." CNBC
Governments have not solved the core of the problems that caused the crisis but instead they "flooded the world with money," added Rogers. Trying to solve the problem of too much consumption and too much debt with more consumption "defies belief" and will not work, he said.

The price of oil is also likely to remain high despite the fact that the recession is taking its toll on demand, he said.

"You know supplies worldwide are declining at the rate of anywhere from 4 to 6 percent a year, yes, demand is down at the moment but in longer term, unless somebody discovers a lot of oil very quickly, the surprise is going to be how high the price of oil stays, and how high it eventually goes," Rogers added.
The next financial meltdown will be in the currency markets, as central banks around the world have been printing money, giving the appearance of massive government intervention to weaken their currencies, legendary investor Jim Rogers, chairman, Rogers Holdings, told CNBC Wednesday.

"At the moment I have virtually no hedges, I suspect it is going to be the next problem, big crisis will be in the currency markets, I'm trying to figure out what to do there," Rogers told "Squawk Box Asia".

"If I am right, you're going to see a lot of currency problems in the next decade or two," Rogers said. Governments around the world are doing their best to destroy currencies, many currencies in fact. And people need to understand that; if they don't understand it now, they're going to find out, they're going to find out the hard way," he added.

The Stock market will Collapse says Jim Rogers

Don’t be fooled by the 30 percent-plus rally over the last six weeks says wall street king Jim Rogers.

Equity prices are overvalued , he added.

“I’m not buying shares,” Rogers told CNBC yesterday . “The bottom will probably come later this year, next year, who knows when.”

And the reason why the stocks will fall is Because governments have "flooded the world with money" he explained .

"In the United States and other countries, the problem is too much consumption and too much debt", Rogers eadded. But governments and central banks are trying to solve that problem with more of the same.

This “defies belief" and won’t work, he says.

"I mean … you give me five or six trillion dollars, I'll show you a very good time, there's no question about that."

you should invest your money in commodities not stocks said Jim Rogers.

"Fundamentals for General Motors are not getting better. Fundamentals for Citibank are not getting better” he points out.

“I can think of very few industries in the world where the fundamentals are getting better. But the fundamentals of commodities are getting better, full stop."

Rogers’ favorite commodities include the agriculture sector gold and silver , although he prefers silver to gold .

Jim Rogers Prefers China, Sri Lanka to India for Investment

By Chen Shiyin

May 21 (Bloomberg) -- China and Sri Lanka are better investment opportunities than India even after the Congress party’s biggest election victory in two decades, investor Jim Rogers said.

India’s benchmark Sensitive Index, or Sensex, jumped a record 17 percent on May 18, causing a trading halt, on speculation Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s victory will enable him to accelerate economic reforms.

“I’ve heard the same thing for the last 30 years,” Rogers told an Economist Conferences forum in Singapore today, saying he’s skeptical of Singh’s pledges. Still, India will be “the next great investment” if Singh sticks to his commitments, Rogers said.

This week’s gains drove the Sensex to a 42 percent advance for 2009 to date, in line with the Shanghai Composite Index’s 43 percent climb on optimism China’s 4 trillion yuan ($586 billion) stimulus plan will bolster the economy. Sri Lanka’s Colombo All- Share Index jumped to a seven-month high today as the central bank raised its forecast for economic growth following the end of a 26-year civil war.

“You’ve got the wind in your face doing business in India, you’ve got the wind in your back in China,” Rogers said, adding that he sees “great, cheap” opportunities in Sri Lanka because of “dramatic” changes in the country after the end of the war.

Rogers is chairman of Singapore-based Rogers Holdings and the author of “A Bull in China: Investing Profitably in the World’s Greatest Market.

Buy Yuan and Beware of Boys, Rogers Tells His Daughters

"The renminbi is eventually going to be the next reserve currency of the world. Twenty years from now, perhaps fifteen years from now, the Chinese are opening up there currency more and more every month, every year. And that’s going to continue ... who knows how high it will go," Rogers Said to day on CNBC :
Say the name Jim Rogers, and these thoughts might come to mind — billionaire, China, author, adventure capitalist, George Soros' one-time partner, investment guru, man in bow tie ... but how about father?
And father he is to two little girls, Happy age 6, and Baby Bee age 1. He's even written a book for them — A Gift to My Children: A Father's lessons for Life and Investing.

And what investment advice would he impart to his daughters? Rogers sat down and shared with CNBC.com some of his thoughts on this, beginning with, buy renminbi if you get the chance.

"I own the Chinese renminbi. It's not that easy to buy and sell the renminbi because it’s a blocked currency. But I own it and every chance I get to get some more renminbi, I do so." Rogers says.

"The renminbi is eventually going to be the next reserve currency of the world. Twenty years from now, perhaps fifteen years from now, the Chinese are opening up there currency more and more every month, every year. And that’s going to continue ... who knows how high it will go," Rogers adds.

With China, currently the largest creditor nation in the world, and with a balance of trade surplus to boot, Rogers would rather own the renminbi (also called the yuan) than many other currencies.

But he adds that he doesn't understand why China has a blocked currency. Currently, there are restrictions on money leaving or entering the country and as such, the renminbi is not fully convertible.

"China has not made many serious mistakes in the past two to three decades but this is one of them. I don't know why they still have a blocked currency. This is not 1979, it’s not even 1999. It's 2009 and China doesn't need to do that any more," Rogers says.

Jim Rogers chooses silver over gold to beat The inflation

Jim Rogers on Silver vs Gold Debate

Legendary investor Jim Rogers, whose conversion to commodities as an investment class back in 1999 preceded the end of the 20-year bear market by a couple of months, is backing silver over gold as an asset class to beat inflation
He told journalists that if pushed to choose between the two precious metals he would choose silver over gold. Rogers has moved to Singapore and he has sold all his dollar holdings because he believes the resumption of the US dollar’s long term devaluation is imminent. He is even shorting US treasury bonds.
Jim Rogers admits that silver has been particularly battered down, and perhaps that is why he likes this precious metal. Silver is leveraged to the gold price, so when gold goes down, silver goes down further. But equally when gold prices rise, silver will rise even higher.
And why is silver leveraged against the gold price? The answer is simple. Both are precious metals but the available supply of silver is less than one-tenth the size of the gold market, and the dynamics of supply and demand in such a situation are obvious.

I Am Not Selling My Gold Says Jim Rogers

Legendary global investor and chairman of Singapore- based Rogers Holdings, Jim Rogers said he is concerned some institutional gold reserves may be sold, affecting prices in the short term.

In an interview with Bloomberg radio, Rogers said: “I own some gold, but I am not buying at the moment because the IMF, which is one of the largest owners of gold in the world, is desperate to sell its gold.”

“I’m not selling my gold,” Rogers said.

The IMF “is trying to get permission from everybody,” Rogers added.

“If and when they sell their gold, they may set a bottom. Who knows? It may go down to US$700. They got a lot of gold to sell. If it does, I hope I’m brave enough and smart enough to buy more.”
In an earlier interview Rogers said whether the IMF sells gold or not, the world is expecting them to sell it.

G20 leaders agreed earlier this month that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) should sell gold from its reserve to help stimulate the world economy.

We Have not Hit The Bottom yet says Jim Rogers the Worse is still to come

I don’t think we’ve hit rock bottom yet, we will have rallies along the way, and nothing goes straight down every day or every month or every year even, If you go back to the 1930’s there were few rallies along the way, even though things did not get better for a long time.

I don’t know when this problem will end, I am afraid it’s going to last for several years mainly because some governments the US and the UK are making a mistake after mistake after mistake, in the 1930’s many governments made mistakes so we had the great depression and the second world war.

The way they are going now, this is going to last for a long time, they are making the same mistakes the Japanese made in the 1990’s by probing up the zombie companies and zombie banks and you are going to see just like in Japan it didn’t work and this is not going to work either.

Jim Rogers Not Buying Stocks Anywhere

I am not buying U.S. companies mainly because I think we may have seen a bottom but I don't think we have seen the bottom. I am skeptical about the rally, the world economy for the next year or two or three.

But if stocks go down, I can make money with commodities. In the 1970s, commodities went through the roof even though stocks were a disaster. In the 1930s, commodities rallied first and went up the most long before stocks pulled it together.
