Jim Rogers: Both Congress, BJP have not been and will not be good for India



Singapore: Hedge fund manager Jim Rogers has always been an India bear and a critic of the policies of the Indian government. The chairman of Rogers Holding who moved to Singapore in 2007 because he believes the centre of the world is moving to Asia, lashes out in an interview at both national political parties and dismisses Goldman Sachs' recent report on how it was turning bullish on India because of the possibility that the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP's) Narendra Modi could be the country's next prime minister. "I won't invest in India" till the country opens up more, said Rogers. Edited extracts:

An ahead of expectations statement then - good stuff.

The on-line side could well be a key driver (if you excuse the pun) for this company. Sales increasing here and presumably the margins highest in this part of the business which augurs well.

Jim Rogers touts China's environmental, agricultural sectors

American investor Jim Rogers says he is investing in Chinese stocks again after seeing opportunities on the mainland for the first time in five years, reports the Guangzhou-based Southern Metropolis Daily.

Rogers, the billionaire co-founder of the privately owned hedge fund Quantum, shared his investment insights over the weekend at an economic discussion forum in Guanghzou.

The 71-year-old Rogers said his recommendation for investors is to keep a close eye on the movements of the Chinese government and news headlines, and to research new trends in the market.

Beijing will infuse a lot of funds to support various industries over the next few years, and if you are going to invest in anything, it is best to choose industries and companies supported by government policy, Rogers said.

One area highlighted by Rogers is the environmental sector, which Rogers says Beijing has already flagged for expenditure to lower pollution levels, especially in major cities. Investment in this area will increase by 25% over the next five years, meaning there will be opportunities in companies dealing with environmental protection and green energy, he added.

Another sector Rogers is enthusiastic about is agriculture, which he believes will remain a prime investment opportunity over the next few decades.

When asked about falling gold prices this year, Rogers said he has already purchased a lot of gold but will considering buying more if prices continue to drop.

In terms of currency trading, Rogers remains optimistic about the renminbi, though he believes the foreign exchange market will be very volatile in the future given America's ongoing debt problems. The renminbi could be the currency with the brightest future and could eventually replace the US dollar as the global reserve currency, Rogers said.

Jim Rogers 10 Investing Tips from Street Smarts



1. If you were smart at the start of the 19th century, you made your way to London. If you were smart at the start of the 20th century, you moved to New York. And if you are smart at the start of the 21st century, you will find your way to Asia.

2. We are in a long secular bull market in commodities worldwide. Like all bull markets, it will end in a bubble. But the bull market still has several years to go.

3. It is good to lose money, to go broke at least once, and preferably twice. But if you are going to do it, do it early in your career. Do it early and it is not the end of the world. . . it teaches you how much you do not know.

4. The way you become a successful investor is by investing only in what you yourself have a wealth of knowledge about. Everybody knows a lot about something. Cars, fashion, whatever it is. . . just take a look at your daily life. Concentrate on what you know. . . you will see a major change coming long before anybody on Wall Street will.

5. Most successful investor do nothing most of the time. Do not confuse movement with action. Know when to sit and wait.

6. If I were to tell you that you could only make twenty-five investments in your lifetime, chances are you would be extremely careful about investing. Invest very rarely.

7. If you want to make a lot of money, resist diversification. Brokers promote the motion that everybody should diversity. But that is mainly to protect themselves. The way to get rich is to find what is good, focus on it, and concentrate your resources there.

8. New York is the economic and cultural capital of what is now the largest debtor nation in the world, the largest debtor nation in the history of the world. The world's largest creditor nations are in Asia. That is where the assets are. That is where the dynamism and energy are.

9. Alan Greenspan's greatest strengths were those of a politician. The way capitalism is supposed to work is that when people get in trouble, they fail. Smart, competent people come in, take over the assets, reorganize, and start again from a sound base. Greenspan's way was to prop up failure. He and the politicians were taking money from competent people, giving it to the incompetent people, and telling the incompetent people, "Here, the government is on your side. Now you can compete with the competent people with their money and our support."

10. I am dying to find a way to invest in both North Korea and Myanmaar. The major changes in these two countries are among the most exciting things I see right now, looking to the future. Another think I am extremely bullish on for the next twenty or thirty years is Chinese tourism. The Chinese have not been able to t ravel for decades, and now they can. Both inside and outside the country, Chinese tourism will explode
