There could be one more big rally still left

Jim Rogers on central bank monetary policies

"The central banks have been printing staggering amounts of artificial liquidity. It’s going to come to an end. I don’t know if it’s coming to an end now. When it does end, we’re all going to pay a terrible price."


What if the markets have a big drop 

"So central banks will start up again printing money. Markets will have a big rally. That will probably be the last time around and might end in a bubble."

Consequences of bailouts being felt

A lot of people are being ruined. Any pension plans, endowments, etc., are suffering because they invest for the futures and are finding that their situation has gotten worse. We are doing this at the expense of people who save and invest. We are doing it to bail out the people who borrowed huge amounts of money. The consequences are already being felt.

Turmoil in markets cause US Dollar to get stronger

The US dollar is partially gaining strength because there is turmoil in the markets; people are worried about the Middle East, Russia, and when people are worried, they quickly resort to the US dollar to make payments. The US dollar is not safe haven anymore, but people don't understand that. 

As long as there is turmoil in the world, the dollar will go higher and higher, and this will hurt many countries and economies. And my plan is when the dollar goes higher and higher, I will sell the US dollar.

Oil and commodities still in long term bull market according to Jim Rogers

We are going to have a bit more correction in crude oil prices and some commodities. I hope to buy some commodities when this correction goes far enough. The world is running out of oil in most countries, and the bull market in crude oil is still not over in my view. When crude oil goes down further, I would rather buy the commodity than sell.

Jim Rogers on Gold October 2014

I have not been buying gold for a long time. I hope that I may get another chance to buy gold some time this year or next. If gold prices drop below $1,000/ounce, I hope to buy a lot more gold. Meanwhile, I have not bought nor sold gold though I have hedged some of my gold.

Africa has changed a lot since Jim Rogers first visit

When I went to Africa the first time, everybody was a socialist or a communist. 

The second time, nobody wanted to be a communist, nobody wanted to be a socialist. If they did, they wanted to be a rich socialist.

One reason why Jim Rogers wrote book is this


It started because I had these kids. I've never had kids, so I started thinking of things that I want to make sure that I taught them, so I'd write them down. 

So next thing you knew, I had a magazine article or two, the next thing you know it became a book of things. I have had plenty of mistakes that I've made, I have made a few triumphs, and I wanted to teach them in a book. I like to teach them and I do teach them, but you know if you have a book, its something they can always pickup one day and look at and say "what did my father teach me about that", even whether I'm alive or not at that time. 

So its something they can always have it right there. The only way I know to make sure thats still around always and easily accessible is in a book.
