Korea tension: Commodities are the thing to invest in, says Jim Rogers
Jim Rogers :"...First of all, global markets should be correcting about this time because they have been pretty strong recently and there is always some reason to correct. This time, it looks like it might be Korea. Whenever you have threat of war, usually everything goes down at first, then you have to figure out what to invest in after the initial collapse. In my view, the thing to invest in is commodities because if there is going to be war, it is always good for commodities and if there is no war, then commodities will rally like everything else. ...""...If the war is breaking out, gold is going to continue to go higher over the decades; high gold was and has been in a normal correction, gold was well over $1400 an ounce but gold has been correcting down, went down may be $100 an ounce. Do not know exactly how much it went down.
So within a normal correction if this scare is up, of course people are going to jump in the gold, they always do. If this scare is real, then gold is going to go a lot higher on this route, it will go to, you fix a number, I do not know. However, if tomorrow the North Koreans say ‘oh gosh, we made a mistake. We are sorry’, then things will calm down a great deal, but gold is going to go much higher over the decades, we talked about that several times. ..." Jim Rogers added in a phone interview with ET Now
