Jim Rogers interview on the FTs Long View 13 / 05 / 2011

[8lig]

This guy is a moron, I can tell by his pink bow tie.

[SilverRose09]

CME INCREASING MARGIN ON GOLD AND SILVER, WERE IS THE CME INCREASING MARGIN ON THE FED?

[theguyisinthailand]

Ron Paul= a great President...

Jim Rodgers=a great Treasury Secretary...

Two people who will not allow themselves to be bought for a few Shekels...

as history has shown, those who will not play the game, will end up in a pine box-who will win the game that is in play now?

[MrBogman1]

It took you a while to get this one? It was on the FT website month's ago?

[blackswanflea]

I love Jim Rogers but everybody has an agenda. The more I like someone, the more difficult it is to find out what the agenda is.

[bsimpson505]

The FT let you put this up? Strange and great for those who don't have a subscription.

[GoldTube3000]

@Xianman06 Have you ever heard about Bob Chapman? Apparently not...

[firstspar]

When Jim is talking about productive capacity growth being limited and demand overreaching, what exactly is he talking about?

what topic would this fall under in macroeconomics and which school of thought?

[paulzeaiter]

Can someone tell me how do you buy rice as Jim says?....Thanks

[firstspar]

@paulzeaiter Tesco has been rapidly expanding their number of stores this year, or of course, you could try your local independent grocers and support your local community at the same time as you make your investments.

[1974wolfman]

@paulzeaiter Open a futures trading account, you'll need at least $5k it's called rough rice.

[CurtHowland]

2:20 "a hedge against debasement"

Bravo! At last an interviewer who knows the difference between inflation of the money supply (debasement), and that which results: price increases.

[Tnat1on]

Peter Schiff also :)

[1776Rosco]

Vote Peace, Prosperity and Liberty, vote Ron Paul 2012!!

[McVestor]

Thumbs up for Maloney & SGTBull as well

[pcuimac]

The economy is NOT selfregulating like Adam Smith told us. Kapitalism just works as long as there is exponential growth to energy consumption. When oil drys up so will capitalism. And when oil is dried up we will have +6° global climate change driven by co2. And this will cost us dearly.

[CurtHowland]

@pcuimac "The economy is NOT selfregulating"

Yes it is. Govt intervention causes instability. The more the intervention, the more the instability. A century of fiat currencies (govt printed money) has meant a century of extreme instability.

"When oil drys up so will capitalism."

No, private property and voluntary interaction will go on just fine. There are always alternatives to petroleum, they simply cost more. When "oil" becomes more expensive than the alternatives, those will be used.

[pcuimac]

@CurtHowland You seem to be a Misses fan boy? How will you build all the thousands of solar panels, geothermal plants and wind farms if you use up oil until it costs so much you can no longer afford it?

And how will you avert +6° global warming if you burn it all up and also the coal and gas? But of course you believe global warming is an Al'Gore scam. Isn´t it? Austrian Economics is as stupid as Keynsians. You only know money. Money is an tool for exchange not a good in itself.

[CurtHowland]

@pcuimac "How will you build all the thousands..."

Hubris. The sin of pride.

I do not know, nor does any one person know. That is why the market works, each person specializes in what they do best. No one person builds anything.

"if you burn it all up and also the coal and gas?"

There will always be oil, coal and gas. They will simply become more expensive than the alternatives. People will then use the alternatives.

Money is how people coordinate their actions.

[AustrianLens]

I would throw Jim Grant in there as well.

[louiethegreater]

I've been looking for that invisable hand, can't seem to find it. Could it be it doesn't exist.

[DavidAKZ]

@louiethegreater These days it's called the futures market where the FED is the buyer of first resort- having failed at being the lender of last resort.

[rrb634]

And Peter Schiff (PETERMAN)

[Olavo88]

Creative destruction? Seems like the host is trying to put some words in the mouth of Jim Rogers.

[jezza1789]

Marc faber and Jim Rogers are probably the wisest of the bunch with Schiff at a close second.

[unchiekun]

The economy is so bad that: I received a pre-declined credit card in the mail. CEO's are now playing miniature golf. Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen. Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America. Motel Six won't leave the light on anymore. A picture is now only worth 200 words. They renamed Wall Street " Wal-Mart Street". Finally, I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck

[Xianman06]

Jim Rogers supports Ron Paul, and so do I.

Jim Rogers and Marc Faber are the only people that tell the truth as far as investments are concerned.

[dmt257]

@Xianman06

Add Peter Schiff to that list.

[MrB0TT]

@Xianman06 Jim Rogers and Marc faber are not the only ones telling the truth about investments. Check out Peter Schiff's Channel.

[KDashPerfect]

@Xianman06

What about Mike Maloney ? And James Turk ?

[lnsk]

@KDashPerfect and jim rickards

[dromeiro]

@lnsk and Peter Schiff

[lnsk]

@dromeiro I'm a Europac client :) and supported his Senate campaign. Conn. is such a massive liberal dumbed-down/pocket-lining state...almost as bad as my state-NJ. I also LOVE Bob Chapman, Jim Sinclair, Max Keiser....the TRUTH tellers!

[grumpone]

@KDashPerfect or even Peter Schiff.

[mrcell61]

@Xianman06 there are others I find tell the truth; Bob Chapman,Peter Schiff,and others you can read between the lines with and get some truth; Meredith Whitney,Bill Gross. But I love Jim Rogers and Marc Faber!

[ninjaguy123]

@Xianman06 : lol well they're the only 2 celebrities, but there are much more great and smart analysts out there, you just gotta search for them.

[n0us3rn4m3s4v41l4bl3]

@Xianman06 You don't like Peter Schiff?

[titan13131]

@Xianman06 Don't forget Peter Schiff!!

[bhamel2000]

@Xianman06

You dont like Peter Schiff?

[pretorious700]

@Xianman06 No, there are are a lot more, but the mainstream media never mentions them.

[bobsacamano1]

[navtel]

@bobsacamano1 .. i kind of wish they would include the interview date and not just the posted date.

[kevreilly7]

@bobsacamano1 13/5 is may 13

[javagator001]

@bobsacamano1 Looks like it is...not sure why they would be posting this now...
