jim rogers is not that smart. the big picture is this; borrow to build houses, ports, roads, buy good cars, build commercial buildings. then default. trash the currency. then manufacture and produce goods at a competitvely low price. then once again we kick ass
Jim Rogers, Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, Ludvig von Mises, Kondratieff, true heros and patriots and with an accurate understanding of the Economy. DEBT is the only word you need to understand.
"... Japan a creditor nation..."? What? Don't make me laugh. That line is utter nonsense. It does hold a lot of US Treasuries, but how much of its own debt has it issued to try and buy its way out the 1990s recession? Didn't work for Japan, won't wok for the US or UK.
The problem areas came out of the areas that were already heavily regulated. If the free market had been allowed to set the interest rate instead of the regulators at the FED, the credit bubble would have never happend. We don't have a free market in banking, interest rates or credit. These are all centrally planned through the FED.
AIG got 10 times more than Autoindustries; and sent most of it to Europeans!
Then spent over 400,000 for a weekend pedicure in Malibu!
AMERICA DOESN'T EVEN PRINT ITS OWN MONEY - Money is created by all banks in any amount they please, (from a practical standpoint, there is NO limit to fractional lending amounts)!
America is not the Engine of the global economy It doesnt produce
America is the Caboose of the global economy because it consumes & borrows
The male interviewer is a stupid baffoon. Yes, the trade deficit between China and the US might decrease in the future. But what he is not aware of is that were it not for the US government, there wouldnt be ANY deficit at all. People always blame the Chinese for not importing enough US goods.
Why would they want US junk that they can produce better and cheaper? What they WANT, is high tech US products, which the US government is blocking.
He tells you the truth as much as anyone else in the financial area. He has been considered one of the top 5 or10 guys for over 35 years. He is a no BS type of guy. Always ahead of the crowd by 10 years or so. If you are looking for a day trader he is not your guy. If you are looking for what will be making money and what countries are in position to be sucessful he is. great student of history and has been around the world to all countries at least twice. really interesting guy. Bowties always
While I think Rogers is better than most in talking about what is to come, he knows when everything crashes, he and people with tremendous wealth will be able to buy things on the cheap and become even more wealthy and powerful. You really have to question people who have all the money they could ever use go after more. Most people admire these people, I look at them as being some kind of sociopath.
canada is the only developed country but has not had their own car brands and sound products. except selling natual resources to other countries, whatelse they can do?
Jim, Canada & Australia have no debt and all of the commodities.
China needs our stuff. Japan needs our stuff. America needs our stuff. I consider Canada a western nation. Canada has a trade surplus. We have a strong (but somewhat eroded) manufacturing base, so we don't need Japan, Singapore, USA, China as much as they need us.
yogiudo-Canada and Australia sound like Russia-one trick pony economies at the mercy of raw material prices. If the US caves in China will follow. Raw material prices will tank.
Yes, but the point is the PRICE of these raw materials. What if oil goes back to 1998 prices(10$ a barrel) ? Russia went bankrupt in 1998. Or have u forgotten that?
The PRICE? You don't understand what you are saying. In order for the price to drop, it must mean that the amount of goods that the equivalent profit from a barrel of OIL will buy will be equal to, or increase (relative to the scarcity) the same amount goods it can buy today. Canada and Australia have strong tech sectors. We don't need anything from the over-populated countries. We have everything we need right here.
Canada will trade our raw materials in terms of what they can buy us.
You think that your government is going to have self control and limit the amount of money they're printing? They're not. Never going to happen in a million years.
They're all going to inflate. Probably the CAD and AUD as well, better to stay safe in _physical_ commodities. Not interested in worthless stocks priced in worthless paper dollars anymore. Paper promises that are constantly being inflated away.
Good luck w/ that.
There is too many reasons why raw material prices will stay high.
Your economy is overexposed to the US. It will be interesting to see if Canada can adjust to losing it's #1 customer. Having said that, Canada's situation is considerably better than that of the US. Good luck, I hope your country is preparing for the future, mine sure isn't.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Every country on earth is experiencing an economic downturn due to global peak oil.
It is true that Canada has been hit hard. But at the end of the day it means that we will simply export less. We have enough services, raw materials and manufacturing capacity to support our local consumption. I can't say the same for USA, China, Japan, UK and basically every other country aside from Canada & Australia. Possibly Russia / Brazil.
@bobjman Do you think Mexico's situation resembles Canada's when it comes to losing the US as its main commercial partner? How bad would you rate Mexico's situation?
You are absolutely right about the derivatives. no one talks about his hardly. that is really what is gonna bring economies down around the world. gov'ts are ignoring the derivatives effects that are coming as a result of greed and irresponsibility. God help us all. All economies that are tied to u.s. will be effected, which i think pretty much the world.
tied to wut lmao all they do is lend us money to buy the products they make wut do they really need us for............once our currency goes the way of the dodo the asian currencies will appreciate and the asian pacific regions will be able to consume some of their own output instead of sending it all over here
Yes, and people like Rogers know it and he goes on about stuff that is of secondary importance. For those who don't know why we are talking about derivatives, look up people like Webster Tarpley, and the LaRouche organization.
Rogers knows his stuff better than most. Put the guy in a government, and he'll make your economy better. Not what is happening in the US right now.
