Long Bull Markets always end in a Bubble or mania before it’s over



All these things will end in a bubble some day. Long bull markets always end in a bubble or mania before it’s over with.

And when there's a bubble in gold, I hope I'm smart enough to get out. We haven't seen a bubble yet. Until recently, if you went around any U.S. city, you would see signs outside many jewelry stores saying “We buy gold.” And the American people line up to sell gold. Later there’ll be signs there saying, “We sell gold,” and people will be lining up to buy it in big ways. That hasn't happened yet.

Global Oil Reserves Decreasing , Like Natural Gas

 With natural gas, what happened was everybody started drilling. And they rushed out and had a wonderful time. But now it’s four or five years later, and we’re finding out these wells decline very quickly. And so people are finding it’s not nearly as much fun as it was in the beginning, especially in the beginning when a lot of them had to drill acreage quickly to maintain their leasehold obligations.

I think the reserves may not be what we thought. And some of the gas companies have reported decreases in their estimated reserves because the wells dry up pretty quickly.

The same is happening with oil. The oil boom started later than the boom in shale gas. And we’re finding that those wells decline at the rate of, depending on who you believe, 38 to 69 percent in the first year. I don’t have a clue, because I've never drilled a shale oil well. But we do know that those are fairly short-lived, too. So this has been great fun, and it may last a while. But I would suspect it’s not quite the boom that the press seems to think it is. We’ll find out.

Gold Mines ~ Things can stay below the cost of production for years



Jim Rogers : “I’ve been in the investment world a long time and I know that things can stay below the cost of production for years. It takes a long time for people to believe they have to close their mines. It costs money to close a mine, it costs money to re-open a mine, so people are reluctant to close mines. So you can see any commodity staying below the cost of production for a while, especially if it’s something like a mine which is expensive to close, and expensive to open.” - in businessinsider

Jim Rogers disagrees with Deutsche Bank on Gold Bottom


Jim Rogers : "I'm not selling my gold," he told Business Insider. "I'm skeptical, even though I expect gold may go down even more to $1,000 to $900. A 50 percent correction would be $960 or whatever it is. Now 50 percent corrections are quite normal in markets. What's not normal is for something to go up 12 years in a row.

"The bull market's not over," he added. "Gold is going to eventually make new highs."
Not all experts agree that gold still has a new leg lower ahead.

Strategists at Deutsche Bank said in a client note that gold's correction might already have occurred, MarketWatch reported.
