Jim Rogers shorting Brazil, India, Vietnam but not China

Jim Rogers : To some extent, I do not agree. Although since the beginning of 2011, I have been shorting the emerging markets, including Brazil, India, Vietnam, U.S. technology stocks, and some European stocks, but I did not short China. China is the world's largest creditor. The mainland of China, Singapore, Hong Kong, and other Asian regions gather a lot of capital and assets, so I suggest people to move to Asia in the future, and teach their children to speak Chinese. In some aspect, the future opportunities remain in China and Asia.- in Shanghai's First Financial Daily




Jim Rogers started trading the stock market with $600 in 1968.In 1973 he formed the Quantum Fund with the legendary investor George Soros before retiring, a multi millionaire at the age of 37. Rogers and Soros helped steer the fund to a miraculous 4,200% return over the 10 year span of the fund while the S&P 500 returned just 47%.

No country can be spared from the Recession in 2013 or 2014

Jim Rogers : As said before, the market in 2012 will be driven by the general elections. There will be a lot of government spending, which will pile up the debt. Then the situation may be bad in 2013 and 2014. The recession will be caused by the negative effects of the heavy debt loads. The United States may not have enough bullets to fight the next serious recession. Europe will have very serious problems too. This will undoubtedly affect other countries, including China. But compared to Western countries, China's conservatism will lessen the blow. However, in general, no country can be spared from the recession in 2013 or 2014.- in Shanghai's First Financial Daily

We will face Food Shortages

Jim Rogers : I also bought a lot of agricultural commodities. Their prices are still low. For example, the price of sugar fell 17% from 1974 to the present. Agricultural development is lagging. We lack the farmers and arable land because of agricultural depression. If this trend continues, we will face food shortages. Therefore, agricultural commodity prices must rise to attract capital and qualified people. Now the trend of investing in agriculture has already started, so not only I can foresee more and more farmers will become rich, but also I know that agricultural commodity prices will rise in the long-term. If the world economy improves in 2012, commodity prices will rise and I will make money. If there is an economic downturn, currencies will depreciate a lot, and commodity prices will also rise because people will hedge against the depreciation. .- in Shanghai's First Financial Daily

2012 a very special year

Jim Rogers : 2012 is a very special year. Dozens of countries will have elections, including the United States, France, Korea, and Russia. The performance of these countries significantly affects the world economy. Usually governments increase spending in order to win the elections. The central banks will also print more money. Thus we will have more liquidity in the market. However, do not expect that the stock market will perform particularly well, since the global economy is still facing serious problems, such as the debt crisis and the growth slowdown. The rebound will be limited.- in Shanghai's First Financial Daily

Orange juice prices hit record



More than half the world's orange juice comes from Brazil


The price of orange juice on the global markets has hit a record high, after surging over the past few days.

Traders say the main reasons are safety concerns about juice from Brazil, the world's largest producer of orange juice, and cold weather in Florida.

The US Food and Drug Administration said carbendazim, a fungicide, has been found in shipments from Brazil.

Orange juice has risen by about 25% since the beginning of the year, to $2.12 a pound.

Friends Of The Earth Accuses Banks Of Causing 'Catastrophic Instability' In Food Markets



European banks and financial institutions are supporting damaging speculation in agricultural commodity markets and financing "land grabs" in the developing world, a report by the environmental group Friends of the Earth said on Thursday.

Friends of the Earth accuses major banking groups, including Deutsche Bank, Barclays and HSBC, of engaging in practices which drive up food prices, remove smallholders from their land and degrade the environment.

However, market participants robustly defend their role in ensuring that markets flow smoothly, and refuted the suggestion that it is speculation, rather than a complex mix of climatic and political factors, that drive prices.

Bill Black: More Proof of Obama Policy of Covering Up for Elite Financial Criminals

Bill Black, the author of The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One and an associate professor of economics and law at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Cross posted from "New Economic Perspectives .

The New York Times published a column by its leading financial experts, Gretchen Morgenson and Louise Story, on November 22, 2011 which contains a spectacular charge against the Obama administration's financial regulatory leaders. I have waited for the rebuttal, but it is now clear that the administration does not contest the charge.

The Dollar's Lucky Streak

Peter Schiff
Euro Pacific Capital, Inc.
Posted Jan 11, 2012

Recent U.S. economic data, such as the modest drop in the unemployment rate and the massive expansion of consumer credit, have suggested that the American economy is finally recovering. Opposite conclusions are being thrown at Europe, where many are convinced that recession is returning. Not surprisingly then, the dollar is currently hitting a multi-year high against the euro. The strength of the dollar itself is often held up as one of the major proof points that the U.S. economy is "improving." But the data points that I believe really matter continue to suggest an economy on life support. I believe that the dollar is rising for reasons that have nothing to do with America's economic health.

Greek Crisis Has Pharmacists Pleading for Aspirin as Drug Supply Dries Up

For patients and pharmacists in financially stricken Greece, even finding aspirin has turned into a headache.

Mina Mavrou, who runs a pharmacy in a middle-class Athens suburb, spends hours each day pleading with drugmakers, wholesalers and colleagues to hunt down medicines for clients. Life-saving drugs such as Sanofi (SAN)'s blood-thinner Clexane and GlaxoSmithKline Plc (GSK)'s asthma inhaler Flixotide often appear as lines of crimson data on pharmacists' computer screens, meaning the products aren't in stock or that pharmacists can't order as many units as they need.

"When we see red, we want to cry," Mavrou said. "The situation is worsening day by day."

Farmers Sue Jon Corzine Over Missing Millions

Montana farmers have filed a class action suit against former New Jersey governor Jon Corzine, charging that the failed financial firm run by Corzine stole millions from their accounts to pay off its spiraling debts, and that Corzine's "single-minded obsession" with making MF Global a big player on Wall Street led to the firm's collapse.

MF Global's clients included 38,000 wheat farmers, cattle ranchers and others who "hedged" their crop prices by placing millions in MF Global accounts. Those accounts were supposed to be "segregated and secure," according to the federal suit, meaning MF Global could not draw on those funds.

The lawsuit, filed on behalf of all 38,000 customers, alleges that when MF Global made a series of bad investments -- notably in European debt -- it began "siphoning funds withdrawn from segregated client accounts" to cover its debts.

Hundreds Threaten Suicide At Microsoft Supplier Plant In China


SEATTLE, Wash. (CBS Seattle) – Some 300 Chinese Foxconn employees who manufacture X-box 360 machines said they would throw themselves from their Wuhan, China, plant if demands for lost wages were not met.

China Jasmine Revolution, an activist revolutionary organization with a name borrowed from the Tunisian revolt that set off the Middle East unrest, reported that employees made their demands for a wage increase for 100 employees on Jan. 2.

Management at Foxconn - the world's largest contract electronics manufacturer and a crucial link in the supply chains of Apple, Dell, Nintendo and Song - responded with an ultimatum. Employees could quit with one month's compensation awarded for each year with the plant or go back to working.

Many employees quit, but Foxconn allegedly dishonored the agreement and awarded former employees nothing.

Around 300 workers returned to the plant in an uproar, and staged their protest on the plant's roof on Jan. 3.
