Exclusive Interview with Jim Rogers: Inflation Is Coming

Kudos to "Sundrenched" for noting that Jim Rogers has been a perma-bear on the U.S. dollar since the Market Wizards book. In fact, Rogers was also aggressively bearish on the dollar in John Train's "New Money Masters" book. Folks, that was 20 years ago! On page 29 of Train's 1989 book Rogers ranted about being "sure of the dollar's continued fall" --so much so that he predicted exchange controls and a "killer wave" collapse.

Rogers is a smart and entertaining guy, the dollar is indeed in a long term downtrend, and Rogers may still eventually be right about exchange controls, but if you had followed him blindly in 1989 you might still be waiting for the "Godot" of a total dollar collapse. Be cautious.
