Jim Rogers going mad on Bloomberg Interview (February 11, 2009)

[CRYPTIC968]

Mr. Rogers was losing ALOT of money during the time that interview was taken - it was obvious given his aggressive attitude.

[Argo108]

Im 90% sure Obama will be re-elected, hahaha, same like Bush.

[Argo108]

stupid snotty bitch! STFU, you dont know shit!!

[CypressPhotoStudio]

what a bitch !

[Zenki293]

What's going to happen to American freedom when your economy crashes?

[MrSeekerofjustice]

dis dude s a hillbilly from Alabama!

[jezza1789]

@MrSeekerofjustice hillbilly really? How many ivy leagues have you graduated from?

[MrSeekerofjustice]

@jezza1789

He is a fuckin Alabama hick! Why else would he leave the US for..... Singapore???? A third world shit hole with no human rights, where the people are terrorised into obedience by the government!! This is the free world and it is only when you live in one of these oppressive countries for a while do you realise what the word "freedom" means!

[Clempt90]

@MrSeekerofjustice Singapore a third world shithole ? Have you ever been there ? Doesnt sound like it to be honest as when I last went there it was a pristine metropolis inhabited by people with fine manners with a courtesy lost long ago in the west. Your ignorance will be your down fall. America is a great country but is it the best ? Not anymore my friend.

[Argo108]

@MrSeekerofjustice dumbass, try leaving america once in your life and you will see that your country is third world and forgotten by time. Asia will hire you in the near future to work in its toy factories in the US, bitch.

[doveisle]

Churchill once said that Americans always do the right thing after they have exhausted all the other options. Let's hope he was right and they elect the right candidate this time. If not, the wealthiest and most powerful country will soon be China.

[ToxinalX]

I'm a Swede and voted for the people who did at least some good during the beginning of the crisis ! Thanks for the comment Rogers !

Now can you please get Ron Paul elected ?

[capricious71]

5:43 :- \ "herrrrrrrrgh....."



[Jitpring]

I missed the madness part.

[1977Melville]

Looks like Lori Rothman dropped some weight before she went to FoxBusiness. I also have noticed she isn't as scantilly clad.

[CentrlFlagrl]

@1977Melville The one I worry about is Mr. Rogers! Seriously, I just watched a recent video with him and he looks much different just 2 years later.

[1977Melville]

@CentrlFlagrl. Stress aging him?

[CentrlFlagrl]

@1977Melville I hope not, yet things can be very aggravating when you are constantly warning and people don't seem to get it.

[TheDarchorse]

Tough for a couple of years! Man for the last 10 years I haven't got drunk or been to a movie and not by choice. Gotta go where the money is - bank crime

[Trox118]

@TheDarchorse what was that suppose to mean? lol

[kc1964kc]

the zeitgeist movement puts an end to people who produce nothing but advice. capitalism is dead. learn to love jim. financialization is another tool to facilitate the global ponzi schemes.

[somekidfromtexas]

@kc1964kc zeitgeist...LOL

[kc1964kc]

the zeitgeist movement puts an end to people who produce nothing but advice. capitalism is dead. learn to love jim.

[l6buslauri]

I think she was told to interrupt him in the end because he told the truth and some guys dont like it!

[josi19831]

FIRE this stupid reporter!!!!

[royalblood1987]

fuck she actually said some shit to him at the end of the interview and mentioned about what he was shorting and look at his face he almost blew up at her.

[royalblood1987]

fucking dumb bitch i hate her so much!!!!

[aiu7125]

Jim Rogers is a self-promoter but I believe he is hilarious as he is so colorful.

[angelmtza]

Holy crap! I've never seen Jim so mad. When he was asked about what would he like to hear from Tim Geithner I thought for myself: "Ladies and gentlemen I QUIT!!"

[darwincity]

Ah... An American supporting the Swedish economic reforms of the 1990's... Is he underlining the EU, with its policy of letting countries go bankrupt, is doing the right thing on the long term?

[manoman0]

@darwincity LOL, did you ever hear of the ESM?

[capitalist4life]

These reporters are hired to look pretty and read a teleprompter. They're not hired for their brains.

[EMPIRE0FLIES]

Crazy? He sounds just as frustrated as the US populace. Bail out the "too big to fails". Feed the Military Industrial Complex with endless war. Starve its citizens and no banksters go to jail. Yes were mad!

[0932486509]

Well actually, I think it's good she asked all those dumb questions so that Jim could have the chance to challenge the status quo. Yeah it's irritating, but it's precisely because we all see this as absurd that it's getting the message out. Just be thankful that Jim doesn't mince his words. :) It's great that he could speak his mind about the usual crap because people need to snap out of it.

[bozotzo]

Why do these idiots in 'Power' never listen to the likes of Jim Rogers, who is always right? I'm following Jim even to the point of moving to Asia, simply because he is right.

[JHK1976]

WE ARE FUCKED. AMERICANS ARE SO FUCKING DISTRACTED BY OUR SPORTS AND HEADLINES AND SUPERSTARDOM THAT WE COULD CARE LESS ABOUT REAL POLITICS AND HISTORY. ELIMINATE THE FUCKING FEDERAL RESERVE SYSTEM AND DECENTRALIZE BANKING. GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO CONTROL ITS OWN MONEY!!!

[draco4506]

@JHK1976 You hit the nail squarely on the head! You took the words right out of my mouth.

[TakeYourProfits]

@JHK1976 dont forget about being distracted by kim kardashian too. an american cultural icon....lmfao

[Tvidstein]

Does she wear an ice hockey shirt with all these protectors ?

[frickadele]

Why is she there?

[soleeforu]

So here we are two years later....is he right? it's gotten worst for me.

[stealthpakfa]

can someone find out where this woman lives and spray some bullets in the whores brain.

ugly bitch.

[capricious71]

Poor Jim can't even afford a bow-tie. Things must be bad.

He says the same things all the time. Maybe one day people will listen.

[yourmain]

OH MY GOD. Watching this useless uninformed excuse of a kunt makes me want to freaking bitch slap her through the computer screen. Why do such dumb annoying grade 6 educated whores get to go on tv and ask the most accomplished people in their field retarded questions...Absolutly clueless as to how retarded she is making her self look.

Just shut the fuck up and stick to cock sucking......

[benjiheads]

those reporters will wake up when they will all be working on the street corners in years to come they are monkeys with a mic.. Jim R is king ..........al trade from london

[takerdust]

Japan, your Doing it Wrong! lol

[szol2005]

Ben B is a idiot! ~ Jim Rogers

[peppertaterbaby]

this is more of the same media propaganda. Todays reporters are told to either make him/her look like an ass, or kiss their ass. it all depends on what the out come the producer wants. Mr. Rogers is a brilliant and kind man. The new world media tries to exploit these true patriots. If you look up the definition of journalist, you'll see we really don't have any. like FAUX NEUWS.

[angelmtza]

Good Lord, I've seem Jim getting mad at several TV anchors, but if this interview would have continued for another minute he would have exploded big time. Look at his face at the end of the interview, he even grunted!! Stupid woman!

[locriansrevenge]

shes purposely trying to give him a heart attack!

[locriansrevenge]

did he just call him mr. bite-ner @ 0:27 ??

[cunnidvd]

wow she's terrible

[qualm43]

this is easily his best video, how did I miss this before?

[throwerofturds]

he sure get frustrated with the whole thing because he can see the mistakes clearly and because he is honest . a good man !

[adryanv]

This reporter is clueless. What a ditz.

[xcessiv4c]

She's horrible.

[kimononvidia]

wahahaahaa.. this is absolutely interesting!!! JIM ROGERS rockzzz !!!

[1111q2]

I believe watching a financially ignorant person, like Lori, interview anyone would be painful. Lori's lack of possibly critical thinking skills, continual self education in finance, and an unmerited desperation to measure up is evident. Her questions sounded like they came from cue cards instead of her brain. Maybe her boss just thought she could wing-it.

[jeremyrose]

A real interviewer would act with hostility when trying to pull something out of a guest. Here she uses it to minimize his painful truths, followed by a smile asking him for his investment help. Ya can't have benefits without work.

[gatorbait20082008]

Peace, Love & Al Gore

(cough)

[LoganUpABongHit]

"THOSE WHO FAIL TO LEARN FROM HISTORY ARE DOOMED TO REPEAT IT". How true those words are. This is all intentional what the govt. is doing now. It's all part of a much bigger plan they have in place to collapse the economy so that they can create a one world govt. currency. Why do you people think that everything the government sticks it's nose in either goes bankrupt or goes to shit when they try & fix things? 400+ congressmen & sentators couldn't possibly be so fucking retardedly stupid!

[AnotherCuppaCoffee]

It's all about jobs. Everyone is afraid to see job losses in finance.

The big NY banks are part of the corporate lobbyist group, which acts as the real US Congress and determines government policy. Elections do not matter.

[TheLivingDeadOne]

Im confused about shorts,. isnt long or short in stocks mean you buy them , hold them a long or short time then sell them for a profit,.(hench short term) as apposed to,Shorting stocks, borrow stocks that day sell them at the high price at which you dont own, then as the stock market plunges & bottoms, buy back the stocks you sold that you didnt own to, "Cover your shorts" & reap the profits on all those losers that couldnt sell their stock cause you sold them already & used that for your gain

[uturniaphobic]

heh...shorting stock is opposite of investing in stock.

the "short call" wants stock to go down to make money. The way they do it is to borrow the actual stock while it is high in value, then sell that stock while its high. After the stock plummets the borrower pays back the borrowed stock at the lower stock price.

so borrowed stock and sold it high

pay back the loan (in stock) when it is low.

[ferencvarosifan2]

Makes you wanna punch that bitch in the face.

[Burt1038]

you shouldn't hit ladies; you should spank them. It is much more enjoyable.

[Lingerfoot]

LoL, This made my day. Sir, have you read Conspiracy of the Rich by Robert Kiyosaki, or End the Fed by Ron Paul, do you listen to the American Gerald Celente? Thank You, Jim Rogers for telling the truth!

[Burt1038]

I haven't read Ron Paul's new book yet, but I do intend on it. I have read two of his books: "A Foreign Policy of Freedom", and "The Revolution". I am also a big fan of Tom Woods and Robert Murphy.

[leonboy332]

Wonderful,

You just figured out an easy way to make companies go bankrupt! Shouldn't we award you a Nobel prize?

Wake up dude.

[donttalktomeabout]

Short-selling causes companies to go bankrupt you know-nothing child. Why don't YOU wake up. As for the Nobel Prize, it's worthless. Ever since Henry Kissinger won one allegedly for his contribution to world peace.

[Burt1038]

If Al Gore and Paul Krugman can win Nobel Prizes, then where's mine? I know more than those two idiots.

[donttalktomeabout]

Concurred. 600 eminent scientists submitted a petition to the UN stating that the empiracal data proves the earth is cooling, not warming. Yet Al Gore is still doing the rounds, peddling his 'Convenient Lie'.

As for Krugman, what a dolt. He couldn't predict the bubbles in advance, and when they popped he blamed "corporate malfeasance". His $20k an HOUR for speeches would be better invested in Ricardo's Law, or Boom Bust, or Power in the Land, by Fred Harrison. He timed them ALL spot on.

[dipsydi]

You forgot to mention Obama....or maybe you posted before he was awarded. Just one more hypocrisy to add to the list.

[thisissick22]

im a troll? you're the pathetic loser with 2 accounts, posting on videos you disagree with in order to start arguments. tosser...

[TYX91101]

Short selling has no lasting effect on strong companies - just weak ones.

[billmilliganhisself]

If a large quantity of stock is shorted, then the price of stock declines, no doubt about it. This is *not* the same as bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is what happens when the value of your book assets falls below the weight of your debts. Book assets are not the same thing as your price, they are instead things like cash or income-generating tangible things like factories or store fronts or bonds -- when these are no longer producing income, THAT turns into bankruptcy when cash reserves run out.

[Unkn0wnGuy]

What a dumb bitch... but I guess that's par for the course with mainstream media.

[rationalCrash]

glad to see another person who understands economics.

[gtele5hev]

Jim is amazing, he always makes a lot of sense.

[maartinjsh86]

interviewing fail

[DonPhilip84]

oh yes pal, i do know who he is, and i never meant to disrespect him and his achievements in general, i just find it somewhat shameful what he's using his once great mind now for. maybe all the returns did harm to his senses :D

[jimmyjoe1975]

What? Not toeing the line?

[sellingstock]

Idiot

[DonPhilip84]

what is wrong with this guy!?

[soundmoneyfan]

haha, I guess you don't know who jim rogers is or know much about the history of American investors, look him up on wiki, how about 4000% return over 10 years?

[Stemer5739]

How dumb is this reporter. What an opportunity to ask some great questions and she just starts in with the same old line of questions asked 100 times. I don't know how Jim can stand to answer over and over again the same dribble....

[jeremyraybrown]

@Stemer5739 I don't either. He should just come on air, flip everyone off, then leave. That would be more productive and save him his breath.

[BernardLMadoff]

The greatest of thieves are the investment houses fueled by the greed of America so great that it puts blinders on their morality and enables the fleecing of so many that economic collapse is inevitable. The biggest criminals, that being the Federal Reserve and the corporate puppeteers of the US Government have the most to gain as the wealth is transferred away from individuals and into their hands. Your greed perpetuates your existence as a debt slave.

[Joeys48]

Non profits, like for profit business require labor for them to function. People that provide that labor need money to live, retire, send their kids to school etc. Calling their pay "pure profit" indicates how little you understand! Just because you don't know what your talking about does not mean that I'm "hung up on semantics". That's called marginalizing and that's what pricks like you do when your errors are exposed. Get a job, lose that fat gut and move out of your moms house.

[Joeys48]

A paycheck does not equal profit. Salaries, like other cost are subtracted from the gross income. What remains is called net profit. This is common accounting expressed as a profit and loss statement. It's obvious you know little about the subject so STFU!

[HouseNigro]

Balderdash!!!

[PrecisionTradingSys]

Not balderdash, if you think money printing will save us from inflation you need to go and research Milton Friedmans work. You are the fool in this arguement Sir.

[HouseNigro]

the more money Bernanke prints the LESS inflation we will have...read a history book!!! This whole CDO and CDS markets are a sham designed by the zionists in order to stunt world growth...I was at the Bilderberg group meeting last year, and this was all discussed...aliens from Star 3982 have been on the way for 32 lightyears and they are going to harvest our fingernails for their energy needs.

[borderline1988]

youre making yourself look really stupid. Inflation comes about when the currency is more plentiful - thus, the value of it (in terms of what it could buy) becomes less valuable, and therefore, it forces prices to go up - hence inflation.

How does inflation decrease if we were to pring more money?

and how the hell did u manage to blame the 'zionists' for this? youre not only stupid, but ur anti-semitic. although, they kind of go hand in hand i guess

[HouseNigro]

you took that seriously? who looks stupid now...

[thefayed]

The monetarist argument is just one of the arguments. The line between M4 money supply and consumer inflation is not as obvious as you might think.

[pbr2424]

The quantum fund went up 4500 percent in ten years. He co managed it with George Sores. He has a pretty good idea of what happening. I agree.

[dipsydi]

No body said it was easy but if I did it anyone can do it. At the age of 30 I was earning $13,000 a year (1980). I had two younger brothers I had to support and a very sick mother. I saved every penny I had....for one winter I went without a refrigerator and kept things cold on the back porch. Second hand clothes and soup. I managed to save enough to invest in a small business and by the time I was 38 the business was grossing over 1 Mil.$. If you want it hard enough you will find a way

[00587649]

I have a tremendous amount of respect for you,friend. This is one of those remarkable stories of diligent people who started from humble beginnings.

[elieone]

this guy understands what is going on !

[dipsydi]

FYI Jacques, I DID do it...which I was I was able to retire at 60 with a nice nest egg. I started a business in 1984....worked many 7 day weeks and more than 14 hour days. I am the only person in my familiy without a college degree and I am the most successful person in the family. I believe in hard work. That and spending less than you earn are the two secrets to success. Any one, unless handicapped, can do these things. BTW when I say education, I don't necessarily mean colllege.

[ianclivewright]

Through the public funding of Universities and colleges we've allow an infestation of Left Wing Propaganda to infect our societies, safe and removed from the perils of the market.

This has lead to the present stupid infestation of ridiculous economic policies, which has led us to the brink.

Like junkies, we won't pull back until we hit bottom, Obama is just one more shot in a long line of drugs.

How the poor are going to be helped by a bankrupt country is beyond me.

[davematherly]

it all began with the Left and Right wing "progressives" and their push for a Central Bank around 1900.

It was initiated by the Federal reserve Act of 1913, and its only gotten worse since.

Bubble, bust, bubble, bust...

the fictional "business cycle" is a result of their monetary control madness.

Dispose of the left/right notion of who's at fault.

It a smokescreen.

Global banksters are at the helm, and we pay no mind to the men behind the curtain.

[dipsydi]

It is true that America cannot compete anymore, thanks to the unions. That's why jobs are going overseas. No one can afford to do business in America anymore with all the taxes and anti business sentiment. Even our president disdains business. It's a shame but that's what's happened over the past 30 years...attitudes are anti business. Most people don't have a clue how the economy works which is why we are so easily duped by the bad guys. Not all Wall St. is bad...we need better educatiion

[1111q2]

You mean like the "no child left intelligent" program.

[Unerzogen]

Angela Merkes sais or does what???

[throwerofturds]

jim rogers argues his point with a lot o passion . he can see whats happening and he hates it .

[asbte]

3:38, great! rogers goes after gross. would love to see these guys head to head. does rogers ever agree with anyone?

[studentio]

Jim Rogers and the German Chancellor Angela Merkel are in agreement. It is the "common sense" view. If your friend went on a spending splurge with his credit cards, buying lots of stuff that turn out to be next to worthless what would you advise him to do? Go out and get in more debt or to tighten his belt, and work it off?

[caisediab]

Rogers has called it well. America is a welfare state for large corporations. Read the stimulus bill. Nothing but pork for those who bribe Obama, the Dems, and the Republicans. The next leg of a stock market downturn has started last week. Buy Buy America, thanks to Reagan, the Bushs and Clinton, who printed money and drove the country into hock.

[qazqashire]

lol! funny when he waved so spontaneously at the start!

[magi55]

What if this crash of the west economy is a way to make salarys equal to the east so that companies can compeat again.

Salarys in west are to high and this is maybe the only way to lower peoples salarys.

Because what is done with bailouts and so on is just madness.

Magi

[WarDogLRS]

I wish that woman would STFU

[smilosmilos]

he´s not probably right, he´s damn right.

[leepakim]

this lady should let him finish his sentence before asking!

[CivitasUltraAporia]

yeah she was a bitch

[johan404]

The feed to and from Singapore seems to be delayed a few seconds so it looks like she's interrupting him.

[leepakim]

...Hyundais.

[k21160]

Mr. Rogers is probably right, but some anger management is needed.

[CivitasUltraAporia]

Anger is about the most important thing we need as a citizenry right now, get angry!

[dreadeh]

Right on Civitas.

[hagbard72]

Glaudangdagnabbie!

[magi55]

Jim Rogers is really upset like I never seen him before.

We really have a serious situation.

Magi

[Nexus974]

I don't blame him. People like him, Peter Schiff, and Ron Paul have been screaming about this at the top of their lungs for years and no one listens. And now they all see the people who caused these problems are the people now in charge. It must be very frustrating to him.

[oyate1960]

Frustrating to him? It's a little frustrating to us too. Wall Street is too big to fail so they throw us under the bus. For every patriot, for every small business man, for anyone who has lived an independent life, we now have to pay for everyone else's mistakes. From the banksters to the gullible home buyer, we get to pay for all of it.

[johan404]

Mistakes? I think a lot of it has been on purpose, by a number of greedy businessmen and politicians and bankers that lust for power.

[erad67]

Thanks for posting. Wish more important financial people were saying this stuff.

[gaiisk]

Guess another Bloomberg-chick needs a cock in her mouth.

[jeremyraybrown]

@gaiisk LMAO
