Jim Rogers index has outperformed all the other indexes

Jim Rogers : My index has outperformed all the other indexes in spades. I have licensed my index to various people, like Merrill Lynch, and they all offer products based on the index. They all have good products, I don’t have anything to do with them (except licensing the index, obviously). [The ones from Merrill Lynch are Rogers International Commodity Index (AMEX: RJI) (for the index), Rogers Intl Commodity Agriculture (AMEX: RJA) (for agriculture), Rogers International Commodity Energy (AMEX: RJN) (for energy), and Rogers Intl Comm Metal Etn (AMEX: RJZ) (for metals).] A comparison done by Barclay Trading Group done of all indexes shows that my commodity index has beaten the socks off of everybody else.- in The Motley Fool

Huge water problems developing worldwide

Jim Rogers : We have huge water problems developing, including in the US. I am told that the aquifer in the Southwest (Arizona, that area) is drying up. It’s going to have huge impacts not only on agriculture, but on population if the scientists are right. The world’s got many problems with water developing. There’s plenty of water in the world, it’s just in the wrong place. - in The Motley Fool

Jim Rogers loves to be Farmer in Myanmar

Jim Rogers : It depends. When I think of agriculture, I don’t immediately think of Japan. It’s pretty far north, and it’s small, but given the demographic situation, it would probably be a great place given you’d have no competition and there’s a lot of available land. Of course, you have to deal with regulations, controls, etc. If I could pick one country, I would probably pick Myanmar [formerly Burma] or maybe North Korea. No, Myanmar. Myanmar is where I would go to be a farmer. Now, that’s difficult given that I am an American citizen – since we are citizens of the Land of the Free we are not allowed to do a lot of things. Other people are pouring into Myanmar now. Staggering amounts of people and money are already flowing in while we sit here and protect somebody, I don’t know who. - in The Motley Fool
