    • Jim Rogers' Picks and Pans - Barron's Interview [view article]
      Jim Rogers made 4200% in the difficult market of the 1970s. To say he has no credibility is stupid,IMHO. He bought into commodities in 1999, when people laughed at him. He has been short the USD for a 6 years, and all the financials when they were nea their tops. He states that commodities are in a bull market. he didnt say they wouldnt down. Things do go down in bull markets. Look at the last bullmarket in commodities. There were big corrections, but they went on to make new highs. Gold went up by a multiple of 25 in the last bull market from 35$ to 800$. Gold is only up 3.5 times from its low at the start of this bull market.
      This is not a commodity bubble, nowhere near it. It is a money printing bubble. The USD is being debased by the FED and will continue to be. The prices of commodities are relevant to what currency you use. Its a bubble in USD terms, but its not a bubble so much in other currencies, especially if one uses gold as a currency.
      Rogers puts his money where his mouth is. He has been wrong in the past, but when he is right he is very right, and when he is wrong he takes his losses and moves on. George Soros said that he was a great source of ideas and was able to do the work of 6 analysts.
