Jim Rogers Speaks Out - Where Is He Putting His Money?

If you have followed Jim Rogers for the last 20 years, you know that he is primarily a smug one-note. In 1988, at DJIA about 2500, his cover story in Barron's was 'Bearish on the World'. He ludicrously recommended nutmeg and other exotics in the Barron's Roundtable while the down went from 2500 to 12,500. I saved the videotape (sent it to CNBC later) of him telling Ron Insana, around 93-94, that treasuries prices were going to collapse; I believe the 1-year was at 6.50% then.
He moved to Singapore instead of China because even he had to admit that the environment in China was substandard; so much for his adventure, huh? His move coincided with a 60% plunge in the Shanghai Index ($SSEC). Raytayzmd said it well here.
