Rogers wary of US equities despite roaring markets
10 Feb 2012 | 07:00

The Nasdaq reached an 11-year high last week as investors piled into US equities, but Jim Rogers has cautioned on the prospects for the asset class.


In recent months, reported improvements in the US economy have dominated headlines, and stock markets have rallied accordingly. Global fund managers in particular have been increasing their allocation to US equities on better than expected macro data


According to Rogers, the US could see an improvement last throughout 2012, but would then be due a correction. He stressed he is particularly concerned about the next two years.

"Things look better, but whether it is actually real or not is the question. I am worried about the US, especially in 2013 and 2014," he said.

The Mystery of Quantitive Easing

by craig on Feb 10th in Uncategorized

The headlines all say that the Bank of England has pumped another £50 billion into the economy in the third round of quantitive easing. In fact, the money will not get far into the economy. It is given to the banks and other financial sector companies, and evidence from the previous £250 billion worth of quantitive easing is that almost all of it will stay there, being very handy stuff with which to fund massive salaries and bonuses.

This whole notion of what is and isn't useful in the economy is strange anyway. This cold weather is making us all use a lot more gas for heating. Those higher bills will count as increased economic activity and higher GDP, but actually we are all less comfortable. This morning I have put on an electric heater to boost the central heating. That is increasing economic activity and increasing GDP. But for the last week I have been burning logs from my own garden on an open fire – that doesn't increae GDP as I didn't pay for them. But they were warmer and more pleasurable. A homely example that the automatic equation of GDP with a better life is nonsense.

Jim Rogers talks commodities, China, and his investment blueprint for 2012 and beyond

Famed billionaire investor Jim Rogers said in an interview with Dan Frishberg of "The MoneyMan Report" that 2012 may hold steady for investors, but 2013 is when the reality of economic recession will emerge.

Rogers emphasized the possibility that tightening could happen as early as fall of this year, but says he sees "the world at the moment in a precarious state. 2012 may be okay because there's elections around the world, and politicians as you know pump out a lot of money. They're spending it or printing it, sometimes both.

Jim Rogers : only Ron Paul can fix the Debt Problem

Jim Rogers : well, I own the u.s. dollar. eventually, yes, Larry, it's going destroy the u.s. dollar. the moment -- unfortunately, there are lots of other complications in the world. so many people will race to the dollar as a safe haven. it's not a safe haven. I just said, longer-term, it's going to be a disaster. at the moment, i own it, because people don't know what else to do. but Larry, longer-term, we are the largest creditor or sorry, largest debtor nation in the history of the world. and the debts are skyrocketing. and I don't see anybody that's likely to win the presidency that's going to do anything about it, conceivably Ron Paul would do something about it, if he can win. but the other guys, i mean, you ask about Romney. Romney is like Obama. what's the difference in Obama and Romney? except Obama is from Chicago and Romney is from Boston. - in the the Larry Kudlow Report

What is Jim Rogers Buying right Now ?
Jim Rogers : well, china is maybe starting to loosen up again. they tried to cool things off for two-and-a-half years, somewhat successfully. they have gotten inflation down. they have broken estate bubble. I am not buying any china yet. but it looks like it might be about time to buy again, to my surprise. I was hoping for another collapse in the stock market before I buy. it may not happen. I may have to start buying sooner
"I am not buying anything right now i am mainly look at the window , I bought a little gold when it went down not a long ago , I bought a little silver when it went down a lot a while ago , mainly I am just looking at the window , the stock market market run up a lot in January so I am just setting and watching you do not have to do anything everyday , at the CNBC you have to do something everyday but I could just look at the window a lots of time

While Marc Faber shares the usual stock of insightful market commentary, together with timing inflection points, and extended thoughts in the attached Bloomberg TV clip, it is the fact that he has officially joined Bill Gross, and so many others, in supporting the candidacy of Ron Paul as president. It is rather sad that only those who see beyond the surface of the current pyramid scheme facade, are bold enough to endorse the only man who is right for the White House. Fast forward to 15 minutes into the video to hear Marc Faber: "Ron Paul would be a very good president."

Read Between the Lines: Hollywood Mogul Buys 2,600 Acres of Farmland; Moving to New Zealand

James Cameron, the Hollywood producer responsible for blockbuster films like Terminator, Titanic and Avatar, is reportedly preparing to exit stage left. While the move for the Canadian born Cameron may initially be perceived as a rejection or denouncement of American policies and ideals, Cameron, who has made campaign donations to the Democrat Party in the past, most notably during the 2004 Presidential election where he supported democrat John Kerry, may have ulterior motivations, as evidenced by where he's planning on moving and what he's planning on doing once he gets there.

From time to time we get a glimpse into the goings on of the well connected. This may be one of those moments:

Cameron has successfully applied to buy 1,067 hectares (2,636 acres) of farmland in New Zealand. In an application filed with the New Zealand Overseas Investment Office, Cameron says he and his family "intend to reside indefinitely in New Zealand and are acquiring the property to reside on and operate as a working farm."
