Jim Rogers: Ben Bernanke should take economics 101

[frankqio]

commodities and agriculre yes, but not sure about airliners ...

[ChinoXS]

lol. Hes a contrarian investor, of course he wants a bear market cause hes got a battle chest ready to pick up the bargains.

[Brucev7]

Ben is just a tool. He knows. Just taking orders. 2 Chr 7:14

[thotkrime]

That chick is a FOX!

[nikog82]

Bernanke wrote his PhD thesis on The Great Depression... let's get back to reality and quit the rhetoric. Ok, Jimbo?

[bonfirejovi]

@nikog82 Ya and he concluded that Friedman and Schwartz were right. The Fed caused the Great Depression and Hoover's big government policies made it worse. Also Bernanke has been consistently wrong regarding the housing collapse, so he is either stupid or a liar. Take your pick...

[pretorious700]

@nikog82 Yeah, and his (Bernanke's) conclusions have been proven to be approximately 100% wrong. PHD don't impress me if you are an idealogue.

[teefuses]

i have a lot of respect for jim and i like him as a person; i believe his advice is distorted, unfortunately. airlines are not a good investment, even at a industry bottom. he isn't sharing his real reason for buying airlines though.

his other observations look correct, but in the long run...probably out over 10 years.

it's hard for the older guys to get a grip on today's markets. they don't have a feel for emerging technology and the like.

[brizzlekizzle]

How do people get these ideas about economics? Why do they stop on the highway for no reason? Why do they give a long lost Nigerian contact bank account info over the internet?

[Luigi84289]

i wanna bang that anchor even though she's an evil corporate sellout.

[MrFatbee]

It seems that america is going down ,,, it is widely known that german bankers are trying to destroy america and israel.

[kobe88124]

"He should go back and take economics 101" LOL i almost fell out of my chair when I heard him say that!

[the1337k1ng]

'You find bankruptcies at bottoms, not at tops'

Oh gosh, Rogers. More simple you cannot put it.

[globalbabes]

What a babe!

[superdynamite]

Rogers is right, Bernanke is an idiot.

[tiuleihai]

whoa, check out that hot azian chick, id eat the turd right out of her cornhole

[hungvan]

Betty is mixed. Hottie.

[pretorious700]

I'd like to see Betty in a short skirt and some high heels.

She is clearly more qualified for such work than this.

Warren Buffet said it!!! It must be true!!!

[beancube2008]

Does money reflect creativity or innovations? No, it replaces them. It screwed up our education system at the very beginning. It haunted us and please change this starting from Wall Street. It is not an aggressive move considering so many lives being wasted.

[beancube2008]

Infrastructures and storage can replace currencies. We need only currency for internal exchange. We shouldn't allow it to be the ghosts of our foreign policy. Retreat from there, trading would start working again. Unify continental currency is good but it must be in-check with the population, not resources.

[nowayjose470]

Not too bad. I disagree about the effect of speculators on oil prices. Demand is still up this year and supply has kept pace. Yet oil went to $150.00 back to under 50 in a few months. Something is going on beyond supply and demand fundamentals in the oil market.

[jfielhauer]

C'mon Betty!

[lezlitaz]

Betty, get a grip

[pretorious700]

I'd like to get a grip on Betty.

[bennyman5]

love how jim puts everything so simply!! and they all make sense!!

[garyowen4ever]

put BERNANKE AND WALL ST CHIEFS IN PRISON FOR LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE, for crimes against the people of mainstreet.

[zoltron30]

"you and i have had a debate" on oil lol

[Utka9]

Did Bernanke hear this? Honestly, the more I listen to Jim Rogers, the more interested I am in his views.

[insylogo]

Hjalmar Schacht

[ledia84k]

Jim was completely right on Airlines. They are up 60% since his interview 2 months ago.

[sugarpuddin88]

The OIL is in IRAQ

The US shut off nearly all the oil production in IRAQ to drive up the price, (in order to appease our friends the Saudis)

South America & Russia both have tremendous sums of oil - What also is needed is more refinery!

[garyowen4ever]

BERNANKE IS OUR VERSION OF HITLER.

[SavingGod]

Your thinking of Yalmer Shocke. Sorry I don't know how to spell his name. He's Hitler's economic adviser

[SirMildredPierce]

Yalmer Shocke answered to Hitler. Ben Bernanke answers to no one. How many times do you suppose the Federal Reserve has been audited in the past 90 years? If you guessed anything other than ZERO, you are far too optimisitc about this whole thing.

[pretorious700]

Your username is too funny.

[SirMildredPierce]

you should google it...

[jarlaxle0]

she looks stoned

[ryeguy123456789]

Bye-bye USA...hot host!!!

[Civsuccess2]

Bernanke's a sellout to rich people.

[pwnzwn]

Bernanke "wrote" my micro econ textbook, maybe he should have read it too

[efisgpr]

i'm sorry to have to say it but she's so ugly that she shouldn't be on tv....please, it's a face for radio

[moniequa]

Oh please give it a rest already, if you are so great where is your show? Do you think she cares about your insignificant opinions? You really need to learn how to hide your jealousy, right now you announce to the world that you're jealous of this TV host.

[sidriggs]

your lack of understanding is beyond comprehension!

[moniequa]

That is right my lack of understanding of your insecurity is beyond your comprehension. I suggest you ask yourself why you made such statements about her. What is the ultimate purpose?

[mymegabiz]

Your average news interviewer is a total dumbo, does she think she's amarter than Jim?

[zoltron30]

i dont think anyones smarter than this guy. ron paul, jim rogers and peter schif should be running america

[Tasadaru]

Maybe 2012 will be our year for liberty.

"Unite or Die. Liberty or Death."

[labulldog5]

@zoltron30 Can you imagine a debate on the economy between Jim Rogers and our great president Obama? HAHAH Barack would look like the dumbest man in America!

[danbrdoober]

@zoltron30 You are so right 

[ImyManz99]

Saying Bernanke doesn't know what the hell is going on or that he doesn't understand economics is wrong I would say. He's well aware of the repercussions of printing too many dead presidents, but his circle isn't concerned about the purchasing power of the middle and lower class, now are they? It's all a plan people, remember.

[AngriestAmerican]

Thats what I say, when people say hey cant they fix this, i reply why fix it,,its perfectly planned and executed!!!

[scientistwriter]

lol true. BUT I MAKE SOME FUCKIN CASH THANKS TO THE ROTHSCHILDS!!! FUCK AMERICA!

[jspark311]

Thanks...

I thought the Europeans had the good sense to draw a distinction between the government of a country and their citizens (who are about to suffer greatly).

[jasy221]

i think Jim knows that Bernanke has taken his

economics for dummies exam, but is just saying

hes destoying americas wealth on purpose.

When enron went bust, notice how they made

a book called "The smartest guys in the room".

[Mothra69]

No one ever claimed the Fed Reserve to be acting on the nation's best interst. If they were, why would they continue to loan money to the USA knowing the debt is too large to pay back? They don't care if the US govt. raises taxes 2-3x, just as long as the treasury makes its payments.

[Leadwerks]

Very clever fellow..."There's plenty of people that can go on your show and say how long it will last, and what day it will end, but I'm not that smart."

A very understated and gentlemanly way to criticize others. XD

[efisgpr]

true, that was very gentlemanly. i found another thing very poignant; "bankruptcies are signs of bottoms, not tops" i mean, duh lady, a stock is a bet. a bet that they'll be doin' better. if they're bankrupt, it can only go up. but i prefer jim's version---after all, as polonius said, brevity is the soul of wit.

[AkioAkemi]

This man is brilliant. He's very level headed and commands a wealth of knowledge.

[cdulan]

If he bought an airline, it could have been a foreign airline. It does not mean he well whole hog into UAUA. Let's be smart people.

[cdulan]

Wow. The broadcaster is not even on his level. It is sad when the broadcasters are not bright enough for their guests.

[cybersphere]

Jim is a true expert. The news presenters are just selected for their eye candy value.

[efisgpr]

NOT this one........please.....she's hideous!

[T4KUZA]

Don't make fun of Betty you, fucking son of a bitch.

[ehunter2]

And where is Americas long term energy plan?

Nuclear plants generating electricity for hybrid cars. And Bush has done NOTHING.

END OF PROBLEM.

[pc3222]

Jim called the new commodity bull market back in 1998

and my strongest recommendation is everyone read Hot Commodities published about 2 1/2 years ago.

[charlesdarwinxxx]

I wanted to be Rich.

It was Not to buy "things"

I wanted to be Rich to buy my Freedom

.... Jim Rogers.

Rich so we could be Free.

Smart thing said by Humans.

[charlesdarwinxxx]

Jim tells the Truth.

Idiot and money will part soon.

Liars are politicians.

Money are smarter than politics.

[largo2001]

Jim is the ---KING---.

[BenShalomBernanke]

running out of oil? LMAO!!!

[chrism20]

You're an idiot

[rseveran]

Definitely not running out of dollars, that's been the bigger problem in the last year imo.

[suave286]

He is very bullish on oil...but then he bought airlines...?????

[lastnymleft]

Sure. Airlines can still make profits, just like the oil companies can still make profits. It just means the price of fuel will be passed on to you and I, and there may be some rationalization of airlines, as the less economic routes are culled. Bernanke flooding the world with USD means that the entire world pays his Inflation Tax, so there's no shortage of dollars to be sucked up to Wall Street.

[pc3222]

the remaining airlines are passing through surcharges costs to consumers, they wont all survive but one or two could be big winners. ( i'll pass )

[glassvision]

Thanks for the tip,Jim. Why does anyone bother to teach Bernanke economics? Bernanke and Greenspan should have been thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. Enough crap for the past 25 years.

[jb2134]

"You're buying airlines?? Alot of people are very bearish on airlines....why are you buying airlines?"

LOL. These reporters are pre-programmed robots, incapable of any thought that runs contrary to conventional wisdom. Yes Betty, you can buy something when it's down.

I don't think these reporters will ever catch on why Jim is so successful. Scary to think that they're "qualified" to report the news.

[trublu97]

He bought the airline a year or two ago. he is taking a bath. I like rogers, but the airline recommendation is puzzling. Maybe an Indian/china airline if they get cheap enough. Airlines typically are good at the end of the recession.

[StrandedTO]

Jim doesn't buy short term. So, you can't say that he's made a bad move there.

[freekrolik]

and we have been warned

[WorshipVideo]

Great stuff.

Ha, gotta chuckle sometimes....

"What? You're buying stuff lots of people are bearish on????"

Duhhhh

[SgtMcCuddles]

betty liu is great, she's just asking pointed questions, letting jim rogers flex his investment chops

[efisgpr]

great...don't know.. there are more respectful ways to ask the questions. i see your point though.
