Jim Rogers on the Asian education and his daughters

This is the asian century whether we like it or not, there will be plenty of setbacks just like in the America, just like in the UK. I want to prepare my children for the 21st century. I want to give them any legs up I can. Its not going to make them successful because they know Asia or know Mandarin, but it will give them a few advantages. 

The Asian nations come out in top on all national educations in International tests. United States is not even in the top 20, so I wanted them [my daughters] to have demanding, rigorous advanced education. I got to tell you its unbelievable how demanding, rigorous, advanced education. Its much more than I expected, my daughters have more homework in 2 or 3 years, than I have had in 12 in the US. I see what they are doing. I can see why the Asians come out of top in tests. She is certainly a learning work ethic if nothing else.

Rogers on Xinjiang and China unrest

Whenever there are bombs going off, people become worried. People tend to get more aggravated or agitated when things slow down. China is slowing down at the moment. But will this mean the end of prosperity in China? I doubt it.

Rogers on Chinese currency correction

Chinese Currency

The market has 3%, 13%, 23% correction all the time. So it's good that the Chinese currency is starting to fluctuate. That's how the markets work. If it's only going up, it's artificial.

Jim Rogers: How to make money in stocks

It’s a been a long-term adage in the investment world that you buy when there’s a disaster, because if you buy when everybody else is panicking and dumping, you’re probably going to make a lot of money in the end – unless the world comes to an end. 

I don’t suspect that Russia is going to come to an end, Russia has assets, Russia has lots of foreign currency in reserves as well, so when I saw Russia collapsing I thought I should buy, and I did buy. 

I’ve been becoming more optimistic about Russia over the past year or two anyway, because you do have big reserves and there are positive changes taking place in Russia as far as I’m concerned, so I hope you buy low and sell high – that’s what I’m trying to do.

World to see more turmoil in next decade

Riot police practicing a drill

China will see more social unrest going forward, but I don't see the Chinese government failing.

In fact, we are going to see more social unrest throughout the world, because we are in this artificial situation where a lot of money is being printed, but many people are not participating in the recovery. We are going to see more turmoil in the next decade.

Who pays for politicians mistakes

There is always geopolitics risk. We have had wars since the beginning of time, and we will have more. Politicians have always made foolish mistakes throughout history. They will make mistakes again, and we will all pay for it.

More conflicts and wars coming

Unfortunately if you look back at history, all wars started with small incidents. I would expect we'd see bigger conflicts in the next ten years.

Jim Rogers may invest in Bitcoin in future

Would Jim Rogers buy bitcoin ?

If I were smart, I would have bought it [Bitcoin] in the early days when people first told me about it. I still don't know enough about it to invest in it. 

There have always been plenty of great investments around the world. That's part of it. The other part is that it seemed to be complicated (to me). Of course, I may have missed it. If somewhere along the line, they are down and I learned enough about it, I might invest.

This worries Jim Rogers the most

What worries me the most is that for five or six years, all the major central banks have been printing huge amounts of money. It's the first time in recorded history that we have the Japanese, British, European and Americans all printing money at the same time. So we have this artificial ocean of liquidity, which is making markets do well, but it's not doing much for the economy worldwide. When it ends, we will all pay a terrible price.

Asia and Russia getting closer

I will have to say that Washington seems to be making one mistake after another and I don’t like saying it, since I’m an American citizen, but, you know, America is driving China and Russia together – America is driving Russia more and more to Asia… That cannot be good for America but they still keep making mistakes in Washington.

Jim Rogers thinks US dollar needs competition

I do know that the world has serious currency needs and serious currency problems. The U.S. dollar has dominated the world for the past 70 to 80 years. 

Somebody is going to stop using the dollar eventually. We need something to compete with the U.S. dollar, and something to replace it eventually. Whether it's the bitcoins, the RMB or seashells, I have no idea.

US Dollar enjoying reserve currency status at the moment

The US has been the world’s reserve currency, has had the world’s medium of exchange and so far we’ve been able to do a lot of things because we can just print more US dollars. 

We have a huge balance of trade deficit; we have huge government deficits, because we can print more money. If there comes a time that we cannot print money, when the world will not just take US dollars because we say “here they are!” – then that cripples America in many-many ways. The Pentagon, the Defense Department of the US has already said that the deficit in the US is a major potential weakness from the military point of view. Just recently, the space people said “every country in the world has eventually collapsed” and the way America is going, we might collapse too. This is not me, this is the Defense Department of America, and this is the Space Agency of America saying these things. 

If you read history, it’s correct. When people do not have the money that they used to have – they’re limited in many ways. You cannot have as many soldiers, you cannot have as many airplanes, you cannot send ships all over the world, because somebody has to pay for it, and if you don’t have the money to pay for it anymore, you’re in trouble.

Jim Rogers not proud that America pushing people away from Dollar

I don’t particularly like saying this, because I’m an American citizen, and American taxpayer and American voter, but if you drive people away from the dollar… many people now must be saying “guys, if we have dollars, and the US decides that they don’t like us, they’re going to put sanctions on us!” 

So more and more people would say “maybe I shouldn’t use the US dollar, maybe I shouldn’t have my money in US dollars.” At the same time, as you know, Russia and China are now going to trade with each other in their own currencies instead of the US dollar. 

More and more people are doing the same thing, they’re starting to trade in other currencies besides US dollar. This is just a continuing long-term move away from the US dollar. And, I am afraid, that US is pushing people away from the US dollar with our actions.
