Who is Jim Rogers and why does he say America's next economic crisis is 1-3 years away?

[MrGchiasson]

I believe him. We are headed for another 'bubble' with all of our debt combined with no manufacturing. The middle class has been shattered. What might save us is to go back to our foundingl patterns & beliefs. We need to erase the last fifty years of liberal policies. Lifelong welfare, big gov't, insane spending & over-regulation of the private sector. Atlas Shrugged shiws us an idea of the Fed's micro-managing everything! It's all socialist garbage. "Rogers" is painfully correct!

[EconCat88]

JR, is certainly among the top group of financial minds in the world.

[menzerna1234]

A "developed" nation shd be setting the EXAMPLE for others to follow.

A reference standard.

That nation shd have almost zero unemployment, growing healthily, NOT in serious debt, and everyone shd have gone thru FULL education. That's the bare basics of what a 'DEVELOPED' NATION shd be .......at the very least.

America is merely a DEVELOPING military superpower.

Nothing more.

hahaha...only 30% Americans hv passports. WHAT A LAUGH.

Sounds typically 3rd world.

[LiezerZero]

VOTE RON PAUL 2012 and he will put Jim on his staff.

[MrMrBilko]

This Guy Should be the US President

[newkid765]

END THE FED

[juslykdat245]

superb!atleast som1 is offering solution amid all these criticism-lovers

[BlueStateChronicle]

I don't think America will collapse to the sound of Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata".

I think it will collapse to Rebecca Black's "Friday". Just my humble opinion.

[Shtove]

@BlueStateChronicle

Jim Rogers was on Bloomberg recently. During the interview his phone rang - ringtone? Beethoven's Ode to Joy. Which is also the anthem of the EU!

[LeoInterHyenaem]

Bullets? I see, the lout is from Alabama.

American accent doesn't go very well with Beethoven. Why mixing our culture with yours? Blasphemy!

[GuntherL1]

@LeoInterHyenaem Actually, Jim Rogers' mobile phone ringtone is Beethovens ninth. He was called during a Bloomberg interview and the Bloomberg reporter didn't recognize it. Bloody moron.

[bellcord]

If you watch without the sound it appears ol' Jim's taking a really painful dump on live TV..

[rajy09]

I remember a year or so before the recession in USA i read on some conspiracy site that there was going to be a recession then a couple years of fake recovery before a huge huge terrible depression. Its pretty scary that it seems as though it might come true...

[coturnix19]

apparently, Maya people predicted the fed =) that's what 2012 will be all about.

[lucasleivia]

no offense to him but the great depression happened in the early thirties; roaring twenties came before the depression, not after it. people were getting rich but not really producing much. it was just a huge speculative bubble, sounds familiar.

anyway the depression was ended by monetary policies such as increasing the money supply and socialist government policies like the new deal which got people back working.

[099749]

@lucasleivia

There was a crash during the 20s, which ended with-in like a year, and the ecconomy was back to health.

[gan0729]

@lucasleivia the new deal shut down the ecomomy with price fixing scemes and massive taxation. Read new deal or raw deal. Murry Rothbard has some good books also.

[DreamsCatcher101]

He went to Yale and Oxford!!!!

Wonder which secret society he got initiated into. Listen to this man, what he says is going to happen because its planned. We in shit people.

[fuzzywzhe]

@DreamsCatcher101 You don't have to be a graduate of either Harvard or Yale to see what is going to happen.

A basic understanding of math is enough. If you take our national debt from 1971, and assume that it's gone up by 9.04% every year on average, you end up with 14 trillion dollars by 2011. Now we sometimes had lower and higher deficits, but it's about 9.4% per year and has been for 40 years.

Using 9.4% we'll be at a national debt of $33 trillion by 2020, and $80 by 2030.

[ThisHatvd]

why does the screen go green sometimes?

[clint0nify]

i think ben bernanke is the only one that said thumbs down

[iYobo1000]

Obama doesnt know any better

[robert4you]

Great video! There will be huge changes in the world within the next 36 months. Prepare everyone!

[wang0fett]

maria is such a dumbass. she would have just went ahead and bought alot of 30 year T-bills if her portfolio advisor suggested it.

thumbs up this if you agree.

[MysteriousMayonaise]

Whenever I see somebody like this, I always think, "OK, he can talk ,clearly, but why in the hell isn't he actually taking any action!?" Instead people like him, just sit by, and make a small comment, here and there. : /

[craig4252]

@MysteriousMayonaise

He is taking action. He manages a huge amount of wealth, investing it to put his money where his mouth is. Further, he moved from the US to Singapore. Wonder why? I don't. These are actions. The man is not running for office. People who tell the cold hard truth aren't usually so popular as smooth-talking snake oil salesmen we put into power.

[akinkhoo]

"we don't have any trees left..." that's pure just pure...

[hedge313]

He is tremendously smart. I guess he knows how bad they are, because he sold his house in NYC and moved to Singapore. He knows we are imploding, and got the F out.

[bjarnet3]

It's a huge mistake not listening to peoples like Jim Rogers, Ron Paul, Peter Schiff,,, huge mistake...

[00mellg]

@DearCEOvideo how long will it take before I can get a response from Jim, and does it cost anything to be a member of DearCEO?

[starlight1946]

Don't remove the Classical Music because its very nice and it fits the factual words from Jim Rogers.

[MBillCylle]

@PaulRevere2012 IMHO....background music is fine, I thought it gave it a somber effect

[janoman911]

love your vidz man

People must know the REAL TRUTH

[TheDigitalWeb]

RealKingKado, It's getting worse near Cleveland/Akron too. Last night an elderly lady was robbed and shot while sitting in her car in a church parking lot. Muggings, home invasions, road rage, store owners held up & shot. Thanks to Wall St. Politicians, and The Fed Cartel, things will only get worse when the Greenback is devalued. I think the trees in the White House lawn have enough branches to hang the immoral, corrupt bastards that created this mess! The Revolution has started......

[TheDigitalWeb]

RED/BLUE BULLSHIT! I sent a 4 page nasty gram to Dem's & Repub's alike. I told them we're broke, want the corporate bankers, wall street pirates, and corrupt politicians jailed, and that we want our money back! Geithner is a FU@&ING CROOK! I told them country boys, back woodsmen and farmers with long rifles made, and will keep this country free. They and the Fed Cartel have looted our country, us sold us out to foreign leaders! WE'RE MAD AS HELL OUT HERE ! The Revolution has already started!

[jclemens1970]

Appreciate the passion, the red blue horse shit is not working and the effects of that drug are weraing off nationally,, "they" know it and "they" are scared.

Hopefully the tea party movement wont get distracted by the repubs/palin etc Beck etc,, and all the tricks we have fallen for in the past.

I really think the tea party movement could be our salvation from the corruption, at least I hope.

Keep up the posts and the good work, its all we can do,, for the time being.

[realkingkado]

1 to 3 years! i bet he means this year 2010, its a fuckin mess here in the UK we've seen muggings, shootings, theft go through the roof. Its only a matter of time before the dumbed down middle class start protesting but not until pop idol has finished!

[FAKEPAIN]

@realkingkado HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that last comment cracked me up! its sad but true. stupid ppl everywhere. Shit is gonna hit the fan SOON! dutch ppl are just as stupid though.. beautiful sheeple ;) gotta love em

[1czelaya]

Jim Rogers seemed to make too much sense when I first heard of him a couple of years ago. Then, I found out that he's a student of Austrian Economics. Hmmm, no one wonder this guy has been able to do so well in the market. He see's through all the charades of government and Wall Street.

I would love to see Jim Rogers offered a cabinet appointment at the White House. I'm sure one of the first things he wold do is fire everyone in this government mess and hold people accountable.

[GillesGerais]

@1czelaya the problem is that ppl have to have a golden boy (or girl ) to vote for cause they dont think about the real problems.

[spikesterg]

@1czelaya I'm not sure he'd want to come back from Singapore to do that. He loves it here and believes that the future is in Asia... that's why he moved here. But, I agree... the USA needs this guy in a key White House position that has real power and authority to make changes. But they will never let that happen anyway. The military industrial complex doesn't want guys like this.

[energyalt56]

@1czelaya The earlier warning and truth its far better then when things happen.

Roger deserve credit for that, Chicago professor's statement of the debt is shocking, its not 62 trillion, Greenspen flatter refused the fed to be audit and said, the gorvmt has no such right

[gizmonkey]

"It is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty. Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and an usurper soon found. The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin."

Obama is far too smart to learn anything more...at least he thinks so...

[hitman40912]

Are you listening Gordon Brown?

Stop the inflation theft it's a diabolical shame and disgrace.

[wrathofgod86668]

Silence! How dare you question our Glorious Dear Leader he saved the banks,economy and the world dont you know.lol

[shouldlistentoronpau]

I wish Obama watched this video and listened to it.

[tbackes]
