Jim Rogers Video: Gold Outlook for 2013

December 19, 2012

Even Jim Rogers loves gold, already wary

Since the price of gold was again under pressure in recent weeks and is at levels close to 4-month low longtime admirer of precious metal Jim Rogers warned that the correction may continue into the new year, reports CNBC.

"Just be careful. There are too many "bull" set investors, including me. But I am very cautious, "says Rogers.

"Gold stand corrected - it is happening now 15-16 months - which I think is normal and that adjustment is not possible to continue for some time," he said.

Gold price rises over the past 12 years, says Rogers, adding that the metal used as an investment haven, has been sensitive adjustment only once for the whole period - during the global financial crisis in 2008 when gold futures lost 32% .

"Most assets experienced a 30 percent correction every 1-2 years even in a bull market. 30 percentage adjustments are normal and yet gold is such a thing has happened only once in the last 12 years, "said Rogers. "Gold in any historical context, it is time to experience a good adjustment."
Precious metal recovered some ground on Wednesday after hitting its lowest level since August - 1661 dollars per ounce - Tuesday. Analysts commented that the budget negotiations in Washington have undermined the appeal of gold as an asset of refuge, as more investors returning to shares.

Yet gold, which has a 0.3 percent growth this year, is not close to the limit of $ 2,000, as was many analysts forecast the end of 2012

Yet there is hope that the cheap money as a result of the program of the Federal Reserve (Fed) to quantitative easing will increase the price of gold.

Rogers warns that despite the loose monetary policies of many leading central banks - a trend that would normally induce investors to seek the protection of assets like real gold - India which is the largest consumer of gold in the world can be a risk price of the precious metal, if you decide to buy less.
Earlier this year, India's finance minister said that the import of gold is the main reason for the current account deficit of the country, and urged the government to double the import duty on this commodity.

"India has a huge trade deficit and some Indian politicians start blaming namely gold," said Rogers. "If they find a way to limit the importation of gold, if something happens, it will be a big shock for all" bullish "attitude to gold investors and no one can predict how low the price will fall."

Rogers, who is currently buying gold and even hedge a portion of its gold assets, said it is still "bullish" precious metal set against the long term. He expects the price of gold is much higher over the next decade.

"If gold cheaper, I hope I'm smart enough to buy more. If gold go down much, I hope I'm smart enough to buy more, "he said.

Why Jim Rogers is bearish on gold short-term

I own gold and I own silver. I own all the precious metals, especially gold and silver. I'm not sure I would buy right now. Gold has gone up 12 years in a row, which is extremely unusual for any asset, at least in my experience. I don’t know any asset that’s gone up 12 years without a down year except gold. Gold has had only one decline over 30 percent in those 12 years. That, too, is extremely unusual.

Plus, if you look at the open interest from the CFTC, the speculators have been piling into gold. The number of call options is more than twice the put options. All the signs are that there's too much speculation in gold right now.

I’m not selling, by any stretch. I own it. If it goes down, I’ll buy more. If America bombs Iran, I’ll probably buy more going up. But I own it and, over the longer term, gold is going to go much higher because the world is doing nothing but printing money. And when the world economies get bad again, they're going to print even more money. But I'm not buying now.

Jim Rogers on commodities with potential

I’d have to say agriculture, because agriculture is very depressed on any kind of long-term basis. Sugar prices, for instance, are down about 75 percent or so from their all-time high in 1974—38 years ago. We have been consuming more agricultural commodities than we have been producing in the world for the last decade or so. So inventories are near historic lows, which, of course, is a dangerous situation.

But worse still, we’re running out of farmers. The average age of farmers in America is 58; in Australia it’s 58; in Japan it’s 66. In America, more people study public relations than study agriculture. So the farmers are dying and retiring, and no young people are coming into agriculture. Agriculture is facing a serious, serious problem, so prices have to go much, much higher, or we’re not going to have any food at any price.

Jim Rogers on Russia

Actually, since 1917, the Russians have said, “When it’s your money, then invest here, and we’ll all get rich.” And as soon as you did that, they took it away from you, or shot you, or put you in jail, or whatever. But I have the view that Putin, for whatever reason—I'm not going to speculate about his reasons—that the government has changed now in Russia, and realizes they have to play by the same rules that everybody else does if they're going to prosper.

And so, if that’s the case, Russia has gigantic potential. They’ve got everything in the world there: huge natural resources. They're trying to develop the transportation network so that they can transport goods from Asia through Siberia. And they're spending huge amounts of money doing it. If it works, it would save a lot of time and money to get goods to Asia instead of going by ship. It would ruin Singapore, of course, because Singapore would be wrecked by the new transportation route. Anyway, there are various things that I see happening that give me encouragement for the first time in my life about Russia.

Jim Rogers Video: Obama Win Is Not Good For The Country

November 07, 2012

Jim Rogers: Prepare cheap money insane

Now that President Barack Obama is re-elected, investors should be prepared for the new expansion, inflation and monetary policy, says Jim Rogers in an interview with CNBC.

Minutes before Obama's victory against the Republican candidate Mitt Romney to be confirmed, Rogers lambasted both presidential candidates, describing them as "evil."

Co-founder of the Quantum Fund predicted that Obama's policies will increase commodity prices will lead to a depreciation of the dollar.
Federal Reserve (Fed) is trying to stimulate the economy by buying U.S. debt. According to Rogers, this program will continue.

"If Obama wins, there will be more inflation, more money printing, more debt and more spending," warns Rogers, adding that it will sell U.S. government securities and buys metals such as gold. "Gold is good for you, for me and for everyone else."

"It seems that printing money will become a real craze and spending," he said. "We need to invest to what happens, not the way I like it."

Rogers points out that he did not vote for either Romney or Obama on the grounds that "with regard to him, they are both evil."

Jim Rogers: I actually think Mr. Obama will Win

Jim Rogers: I actually think Mr.Obama will win the election. It's very difficult to unseat a president in the US. I think the Republicans have only done it once in the last hundred years. Once you are in power you have a lot of money to spend, and Mr.Obama has a lot of money to spend in places like Ohio. His popularity is going up in Ohio because he's spending the money there. Because of that I suspect Mr.Obama will win. I didn't say it was good for America or good for the world but I suspect he will win. - in the daily bell

Jim Rogers: Disaster Awaits the Markets in 2013

Jim Rogers was recently interviewed by the National television and said: "...first of all we have taxes increases in January first but secondly David we had recessions every 4 to 6 years since the beginning of the republic next year it's 4 to 6 years we are overdue , they always happen for different reasons now may be you know it's different this time , in Washington and in Fox Business News they tell you it is a recovery , 6 years from 2007 it is 2013 , we always had one next one it is going to be worse ..." says Jim Rogers

James Rogers also popularly known as Jim Rogers was born on October 19th in 1942. He was raised in a small town in Demopolis, Alabama. Jim Rogers found his feet in the stock market industry by starting off with a mere 600$ in the year 1968. Rogers was able to open the Quantum Fund with his stock market earnings and struck up a partnership with the legendary George Soros. With all his initial success, he was able to happily retire as a multi-millionaire at the age of 37. The Quantum Fund saw an overall increase in return by an astounding 4,200% in the ten years that they ran the fund together. In contrast, the S&P reported a rise of only 47%. Soros and Rogers ran the world's first truly macro hedge funds that had a worldwide scope. Rogers landed his first job in the year 1964 at Wall Street in a company called Dominick & Dominick in the year he had before he went on to Yale University from High School. That same year he moved on to his second job and that is where he met George Soros. The Quantum Fund inspired a lot of variations of macro trading. Jim Rogers is quoted in the "Money Masters of Our Time" as saying that his work was the most important thing to him in his life. Rogers didn't take a single holiday for ten consecutive years and this reflects the true level of professionalism. With the success he gained in his macro trading business, he was able to peacefully retire in 1980 with a fortune to his name. Ever since his retirement, he has taken on different media roles and has spent most of his time travelling and being a philanthropist. He is also known as a media commentator and remains active in investing.

Rogers was once quoted as saying that Jim Rogers "the 19th century was the century of the UK, the 20th century was the century of the US, the 21st century is going to be the century of China"

Jim Rogers: Capitalism is Dying in the West

Excerpt from the interview:

Depending on countries, politicians, central bankers are destroying capitalism. Some Asian countries are opening up more and more and they become more capitalism countries than USA.

Do you think capitalism can survive in the West?

In history great nations have created economies where people do whatever they can and governments are not so in control of the things. When everything gets matured and problems start, governments get more involved. When problems start, people look for someone to save, and then governments do more controls. All great nations when they reach a certain level of saturation and maturity, start to control more to prevent decline but that accelerates the decline. That is what is happening in USA.

The real credit was 15 years world saved huge amount because war and depression and eventually they started to spend 40-ies , after that people started investing, spending and consuming. It was pretty simple economics. It was historic circumstances.

Stagflation – Most of the world is already in it. Some statistics say it’s not the way, but we can’t rely on government statistics.

I hope the Chinese and Japanese conflict doesn’t evolve into a war. But even without these problems, the world is slowing down anyway.

Jim Rogers: Eurozone will pay a "terrible price" for the accumulated debt

Eurozone will pay a "terrible price" for the crisis, whether the European Central Bank (ECB) start mass buying of government or not, said Jim Rogers, co-founder of the Quantum Fund, said on CNBC.

"European politicians repeat the same crap for a long time. It does not change the game - the program will have a positive effect on the market for about a month. Debts are getting bigger and eventually we will all pay a terrible price, "warns investors.

He predicted that the green wave stock markets, which may seem like a good opportunity to return to risky assets will be very short.

"For me, it is not possible to make money. This is not good for the market and will not last long. Every three or four months eurozone politicians come together and say: OK guys, everything is fine. For a time indices remain green. But start getting tired of this story and the market is also beginning to be tired, "says Rogers.

Rogers, who has long been optimistic about commodity prices, said there is no reason to change its position on this issue. "Bull market in commodities will end some day - but that day is far, far away," he said.

"We see some correction in commodities. You see, inject money into the financial system and history teaches us that when they do, how to protect yourself is to have any real assets - whether gold or rice, "he said.

"If the world economy recovers, that I had raw would be better, because the recovery will lead to demand. If this does not happen, all central banks will start to print money. This is wrong, but the only thing they know to do, "says Rogers.

Jim Rogers Sharing his Best Ideas with the People

According to the legendary investor Jim Rogers, the best investment opportunity for shareholders and investors worldwide is Myanmar. Myanmar used to be the richest country in the entire Asian continent in 1962. However, things started going downhill from there and by now, they are one of the poorest countries in Asia. There are enormous opportunities for people there as Jim sees them opening up to new business much like the same way China did way back in 1978. Whenever this happens, there is a wide range of opportunities to move forward and the same can be said about the country of Myanmar. Different developments are expected and one of those is in the oil prices.

Jim Rogers is also more optimistic about the idea of agricultural investments rather than anything else since its price is supposedly the best. There are not many things in the world that are as depressed as the prices of agriculture. Therefore, Jim Rogers thinks it is definitely agriculture. Jim Rogers believes that the world will see a revival in atomic energy plans. Jim believes that people will not abandon the idea of atomic energy since the field is competitive, economic and clean if properly controlled. Uncontrollable atomic energy can off course lead to a disaster but many countries in the world like the Koreans, the French and the Chinese are going forward with their plans for nuclear power plants.

Jim Rogers was also quoted as saying that strange things start happening here and there when the finances start collapsing. The massive increase in the oil production by the Saudi's could bring down the prices of oil in the US as low as 40$ a barrel and 2$ for a gallon of gasoline by November this year. When asked if this was a reasonable forecast and whether the world would get to see such oil prices, Jim Rogers replied that it was possible to see anything. According to Jim, there were lower oil prices back in 2008 before the market collapse. All sorts of strange things start happening when the markets start to collapse. We saw that in 2008 and we might also get to see it in the future.

Jim Rogers - Taiwan TV Interviews

Jim Rogers touts Russia, shorts JPMorgan

Famed long-view investor, Jim Rogers, says Russia is looking good and it's his type of investment: it's cheap, it's running a long-term bottom and positive change is taking place.

"I am excited about Russia," said Rogers in an interview with Bloomberg's On the Economy.

"I've been skeptical on Russia for 46 years. Now for the first time in my life I am getting optimistic. I think it's cheap. I know it's cheap. And I think I see positive changes taking place."

Rogers, who also touts resource-rich Myanmar, says Russia's leadership has finally learned that it has to play by the rules if the country is going to attract investors and start to grow its economy.

"You know Russia has been a disaster for 95 years—since 1917—but I think that's changing."

However, Rogers sees trouble in US, especially in the financial sector, and says he is shorting JPMorgan Chase & Co.(NYSE:JPM).

Despite reaching its 52-week high, Rogers sees trouble under hood, finding fault with its credit card and commodity divisions.

"Basically it's loved and everyone says it can do no wrong. If I hear something like that I get suspicious."

JPMorgan is up a third over the last year and currently trades at $42.83, just below its 52-week high of $46.49.

Rogers sees a larger problem with financials as a whole: the banks fell into such a hole that it will take a long time to dig themselves out.

"You know financials had a big, big boom and then collapsed, and my experience in the markets is when that happens it takes a long time to build a base."

For the world economy as a whole, Rogers still sees big problems ahead and says the US is due for another economic shock after the presidential elections are through, no matter who wins.

"I am very worried about the world economy in 2013-2014 and what happens in October 2012 is not of much significance to me."

"Every 4-6 years since the beginning of the American republic we have had economic slowdowns. You can add 2013 and 2014. They've always occurred."

do you think that creates can of worms? if they exit and i don't know. i suspect it looks like they will eventually. if they do, it will cause a big drop. it is not th of the world. it would be good to make them exit or go bankrupt. but yes, i sold my euros. i have sold out. jim, great to see you as always. i'm delighted. think about tractors. jim rogers in from singapore this week.

Jim Rogers thinks that gold might go lower

Jim Rogers : What I said was, if gold gets to $1100 or $1200 or $1300, I would hope I’m smart enough to buy more. I don’t know if it’s going to go there or not. I may buy it at $1850 if war breaks out with Iran. It depends on what happens in the world. What I said was that it won’t surprise me if gold goes down much lower; that’s normal for the way markets work. And if it goes there, I hope I’m smart enough to buy more. But if it goes to $1,550, I would probably buy more. Just depends on what happened. - in Seeking Alpha

Jim Rogers Investments in 2012

Taken from recent interview with S&A Investors Radio on 12 April 2012 Jim said that he is not worried about the short-term and the market this year because it’s an election year and for Obama to win, they will print money like crazy and juice the markets. The thing is that Mr Rogers is so much worried about the USA in the long-term as the country is the largest debtor country in the history of the world. About investments, Jim said that he will buy a lot of gold if it goes down to $1100 - $1200 usd. He expects a correction to these levels. Jim sees such correction because according to the history no asset went up eleven years in a row and gold did it, that’s why he believes that this year will be different and will probably be the first year when gold will be down YTY.

If you have been following the market reactions lately, Jim comments seems controversial as when gold goes down, does the market. That is why it is a wonder how gold will resist rising if Jim is right and the market really goes up this year because of the elections in US.

Jim Rogers: We are out of farmers

According to legendary Jim Rogers, the world is out of farmers as nobody wants to do this business anymore. He points out that the average age of farmers in Japan is 66 years. The average age in Australia and United Kingdowm is 58. He states also that the highest rate of suicides in UK is among farmers. He is worried that nobody wants to farm but the population is growing every day. People will always need to eat and we need more farmers. Every year in USA about 220,000 students’s graduated in public relations while only 20,000 graduated in agriculture. He asks, “Have you ever tried to eat a press release?”

Jim Rogers believes Myanmar is like China 34 years ago

The legendary investor Jim Rogers points out that fifty years ago Myanmar was the richest country in Asia but now it’s the poorest but that soon is going to change. The country is starting to open just as China did 33 years ago. He finds it extremely exciting for investors who have access to invest there. Unfortunate US citizens can not invest in Myanmar (former Burma) at this moment as Jim Rogers is not allowed to. Still if he could, he would invest big there. Myanmar is good place for investments.

Jim Rogers: Optimist about 2012 but don’t ask for after that

According to the legendary Jim Rogers, 2012 will continue being a good year for markets because the economic stimulus is still active and it’s an election year. That is why Investors should enjoy this year but after that they must move out because he is terrified what follow through in 2013. Next year economies will no longer grow on ultra-loose monetary policies and government borrowing as the CB limits are hit. In the United States and elsewhere, central banks have cut interest rates to near zero and have flooded their respective economies with liquidity to spur more growth and hiring, policies that critics brand as printing money out of thin air.

On top of monetary policy, governments have run up debts via stimulus programs, widening fiscal deficits in the process. Sooner or later, economies will have to mop up liquidity and pay down debts, which will result in economic contraction in a year or so. So Jim Roger’s advice is “enjoy 2012, because growth and rising stock markets won't last”.

"The overall situation is getting much worse because the debt is going through the roof for all of us," Rogers says. "You should worry about 2013, you should be very worried about 2014, but this year, more or less, is not going to be so bad."

Jim Rogers and the Yen

Jim Rogers bought a lot of yens in the beginning of 2009. He was holding most of his cash in yen up until the middle of 2011 when he said: Investor Jim Rogers said Thursday that he's concerned about his long position in the Japanese yen after a recent surge in the currency. “I’m concerned. What do I do now? Obviously the yen cannot continue to be a good long,” Rogers said. “Japan seems determined to debase the yen, which they may be about to do.”

We are still not sure whether Jim holds the yens because the currency weakened already about 10% since the bottom at 75.8 USDJPY, what we are sure is that Japan is really ready to debase the currency as much as needed after the recent BOJ program to target 1% inflation and increase the bond purchase program (QE). As soon as we know more about Jim’s yen position we will let you know.

Jim Rogers: Sell Your Lamborghini, Buy A Tractor

Jim Rogers : "Nobody wants to farm any more. Yet there are more people than even now. Seven billion of us. What are we going to eat? Every year, the US has something like 225,000 graduates in public relations. I think there's 20,000 agriculture graduates in the US now. Have you ever tried to eat a press release? "My advice to young people would be to get into agriculture. If you want to make money over the next 20 years, agriculture is the way to go. If you don't want to be a farmer, buy the Lamborghini dealership or a restaurant in Iowa. Why? Because the farmers in Iowa are going to be very wealthy. And they will be able to afford Lamborghinis. Fewer and fewer people are producing more and more food for more and more of us. That's only going to get worse over the next 20 or 30 years. So if you're smart, put your money into anything related to agriculture." - in Gulfnews

Jim Rogers: Gold below $1,600/oz is a buy

Jim Rogers: I’m certainly watching, if gold goes below $1,600 oz I am sure I will buy more. If it goes to $1,200 I hope I’m smart enough to buy a lot more. Gold has been up 11 years in a row now, which is extremely unusual for any asset. So it would not surprise me if gold doesn’t ... continue to have a nice correction in 2012. If it does, I hope I’m smart enough to buy a lot more. I’m not selling. I have not sold and will not sell until the bubble comes. There will be a bubble in gold some day but that’s ten years, I don’t know, several years from now. I hope I’m smart enough to sell when the bubble comes. - in Businessinsider

Jim Rogers: Dubai vs China Real Estate Bubble

According to Jim Rogers, Dubai built it's economy based on real estate speculation. Dubai doesn't have anything else, it didn't have oil, natural resources, the population is small and there was huge real estate speculation in construction. Dubai has no financial reserves also.

On the other hand, China has huge amounts of natural resources, growing population, natural resources in Siberia which they can tap and they have huge financial reserves.

The only thing that Dubai has is a rich big brother, but that’s all Dubai has and China has it all - resources, cheap labor, discipline, educated labor and vast markets. - in Businessinsider
