Jim Rogers : we have Shortages of everything developing in the production world

Jim Rogers : "What's happened, of course, in the last few years is now we have staggering amounts of debt in the system, we have huge numbers of MBAs, we have a lot of competition, and of course, you have governments all over the world coming down hard on financial types: banks, brokers, investment companies. They're raising taxes, they're raising regulations, they're putting more restrictions on them. Finance is going into a decline, both absolute and relative." "At the same time, we have shortages of everything developing in the production world. The average age of a farmer in America is 58 years old. The average age of farmers in Australia is 58; in Japan, farmers on average are 66. There are huge, empty fields with no one to farm them in Japan. The producers of real goods have a great future ahead of them."- in Seeking Alpha

Jim Rogers : Theres going to be a lot of good news in 2012

Jim Rogers : More or less, yes. What I said was there’s going to be a lot of good news in 2012. There’s an election in the U.S. But there are 40 elections around the world this year. Something like 40 to 50 percent of the world economy is having elections this year and early next. So you’re going to hear a lot of good news. However, it’s good news; it’s not reality. The reality is that things are getting worse because this good news has come at the expense of taxpayers all over the world with debt going through the roof, and the situation is getting worse. People will notice by 2013 or 2014, maybe sooner, maybe even the fall of 2012, because the market looks ahead, I’m not the only person who knows this is all a scam built on sand; we have problems and they’re going to be worse. In 2002, America had a slowdown. In 2008, the slowdown was worse, because the debt was so much higher. Well, the next slowdown is going to be even worse because the debt is going to be that much higher. We’ve had economic slowdowns every four to six years in America, since the beginning of the Republic. So certainly by 2013 we’re due, if not before or later, but it is coming. And when it does, it’s going to be worse than the past. Because all of this good news — and I emphasize the word “news” — is artificial news, while the underlying reality continues to corrode and get worse. - in Seeking Alpha
