Investing : Iran is certainly on my list


 Jim Rogers : Yes, at one point I did invest in Iran, back in the 1990s and made something like 40 times on my money. I didn't put millions in because there was a limit on how much a person could invest. But this was over 20 years ago. I would like to invest in Iran again, but I don't know the precise details on the sanctions and the current status of Americans being able to invest there. But Iran is certainly on my list. And so are Libya and Syria. I'm not doing anything at the moment in these countries, but they are places that are on my list.- in goldseek radio

Everybody should have some of their money invested outside of their own country, outside of their own currency


Nick Giambruno: Switching gears a little, do you have any final words for people who are thinking about internationalizing some aspect of their lives or their savings?
Jim Rogers: Most people have a health insurance policy, a life insurance policy, fire insurance, and car insurance. You hope that you never have to use these insurance policies, but you have them anyway. I feel the same way about what you call internationalizing, but I call it insurance. Everybody should have some of their money invested outside of their own country, outside of their own currency. No matter how positive things are in your home country, something could go wrong.

I obviously do it for many other reasons than that. I do it because I think I can make some money finding opportunities outside your own country. Many people are a little reluctant, you know. It's tough to leave your safe haven. So I try to explain to them, "Well, you have fire insurance, why don't you look on investing abroad as another kind of insurance?" and usually what happens is people get more accustomed to it. And they often invest more and more abroad because they say, "Oh, my gosh, look at these opportunities. Why didn't somebody tell us there are all these things out there?"

Bitcoins: I Don`t Understand Them


I don`t understand bitcoins. I have never really tried to figure it out or get into it. Every time somebody brings it up, I just sort of lose interest.

Sugar: All Time High Was In 1974

I am long sugar, that does not mean it is going to go up. One simple fact is sugar is 75 percent from its all time high. I don`t know if you know many things that are 75 percent below its all time highs. By the way, that all time high was in 1974!

Young People Not Going Into Agriculture

The world has consumed more than it has produced for the last decade which means of course thst inventories are near historic lows. We have low inventories which is bad but even worse than that, we are running out of farmers.

Tapering Is Not Coming Soon



I don`t have an estimate because I don`t think it will happen anytime soon. Mr. Bernanke is certainly not going to do it, he wants to get out while he can, before it all falls apart. Mrs. Yellen undoubtedly will not do anything at first because I hope she knows, I hope she is smart enough to know that is it going to cause problems when they stop printing so much money. So I would suspect this will go on for a while, maybe 2015.

If and when they do start cutting back, the markets are going to react pretty badly and then they will probably loosen up again.

Central Banks: It`s Insane What Is Going On



It`s absolute insanity what is going on. It`s not just the Fed, it`s central banks, it`s the first time in recorded history that all major central banks are printing printing a lot of money, trying to debase their currencies. The world is floating around on a huge artificial sea of liquidity. It`s going to dry up and when it dries up, we are all going to pay the price for this madness.

Jim Rogers warns "Bernanke has set the stage for the Fed's collapse"



With Bernanke's term due to expire in January, Jim Rogers warns Mineweb that the Fed-head will be remembered as "the guy who set the stage for the demise of the Central Bank in America. We've had three central banks in America. The first two disappeared. This one's going to disappear too in the next decade." With precious metals, bonds, and stock markets obsessing over Fed actions, Rogers says, in the next 10 years or so, "People will realise that these guys have led us down a terrible path," and collapse is "not a possibility," he adds, "it's a probability."
