Jim Rogers : I am not at all keen on Buying the U.S. Stock Market now

“I don’t know if the stock market is at a peak,” says Mr. Rogers, “but stocks are certainly at an all-time high. I am not inclined to buy things that are making all-time highs. I would rather buy things that are depressed. For instance, I am more interested in stocks in Russia, China, and Japan – because these markets are depressed. I am not at all keen on buying the U.S. stock market now.” - in Goldseek Radio May 2014
