[fredwon360]

For another view on this from Asia, check out another YouTube video, titleed:

"US and China: Currency manipulation: Really?"

[AntiPsychopath]

lol i dont have a Lamborghini....i love this guy

[WesSeid]

This video is a great example of how Jim Rogers is not like Samson. His awesomeness is not dependent on his bowtie like some may believe.

[exponentium]

Man this B**** is giving me anxiety..

I feel sorry for Jim to have to be exposed to these sachs of crap every now and then..

[pretorious700]

@exponentium lol "sachs" of crap...was that on purpose?

[themagus187]

Let me break it down for you people that are new to economics. The schools of economics that are worth listening to are: Austrian, Classical, and Monetarist----------------- The ones that are completely worthless are: Keynesian and rational expectations.-----------------­-- Listen to people like Jim Rogers, Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, Dr. Marc Faber, Milton Friedman, Ludwig Von Mises, Hayek, and Murray Rothbard if you really want to understand REAL economics, not ivory tower "let's pretend".

[aviomaster]

lexrex3 -- MArk Faber , Jim Rogers , guys who have  economics degree agree with Jim ,.,, Buffet ,, said , what Jim rogers is saying ,,

[trumpsahead]

Our govt and sleazy Greenspan told Japan less than 20 years ago not to pump money into their economy but to let the banks fail, so why are we not doing what we know works? BECAUSE THIS IS INTENTIONAL, DUH. Can't you read, have you heard ANY good news lately? This is an Obamanation. Turn in your car for $4,500 back, bullshit. That went dry in one week because with all the hype only $1 billion was set aside, that's a mere 250,000 new autos. It's a conspiracy. Stop being trusting assholes.

[bando8000]

Is it possible that Greenspan's advise to the Japanese was knowingly incorrect and intentionally deceitful? If so, conclusions reached on this premise are unstable or erroneous.

Nevertheless, when shareholders are rewarded for unsound decisions made by their board and CEO there will be more of the same!

[trumpsahead]

Rogers and others say same thing: govt is making mistakes. If you were govt with intentions of destroying the dollar to introduce North American Union and Amero currency, would you tell the people this is intentional; use your head. We are in this fix because you trust the conspirators. The govt is never on your side, they want one thing: to control our every move. We will be slaves before this is over, paying 80% of our money to the govt that owns us. Here comes swine flu and marshall law.

[Paolo7219]

Jim Rogers is right--as usual. Now a question: WHY is NOBODY doing anything to punish the perpetrators AND prevent it from happening again? We really need to take the power base away from the banksters. This means term limits and STRICT campaign finance reform for members of Congress. Too many members of Congress are in the pockets of Big Money. This corruption is equally obvious in the Health Care debate (Big Pharma, Big Insurance). People need to go to prison--long term.

[andyly0071]

jim rock

[YTfcuk]

fat loud b*tch

[YTfcuk]

lol he waves

[thugless]

She speaks with such fervor while she is fear-mongering...playing devil's advocate?  I call bullshit....

[lexrex3]

But, Warren Buffet said Obama is making the right decisions with the stimulus. He 's a pretty smart financial guy. Have confidence it will all get better in the long run, Buffet thinks so.

[bjan87]

Read fully into Buffett's interviews and reports and you'll see a bit of skeptism

[enmaxlineman]

I think Jim is totally right and the USA will suffer for many years to come. Plus the US dollars will not buy much in the near future. Worthless paper when the world decides to dump.

[IRISH7559]

jim rogers is a genius....end of story....follow his investment advice and get rich and preserve your capital....

[libertyeconomics]

It isn't that he is a genius, it is that everybody else is stupid.

[IRISH7559]

no he's a genius, man has vison....become famers my friends....

[osunvid]

It this from some imaginary financial network?

[razorvard]

Can someone bitch slap this woman.....

Good lord -------- WHAT IS IT YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND -- THE N OR THE O.... can someone please renew her contract to BLONDSTAR in her new GM car....

[scampbell04]

these TV anchors/reporters are so stupid!!..it's almost like news execs go to a modeling agency and pick out head shots and say "hmmm...she'd/he'd make a good anchor..do you think she/ he can read a telepromter...and we'll give him/her a couple of stupid questions to ask somebody every once in a while...tah dah! New TV anchor/reporter."

[malthust]

Rogers is EXACTLY the kind of fast-and-loose hedge fund pimp who managed to over-leverage the whole economic system in the first place.

Of course he points at the Fed and says "He did it! My complex debt instruments had nothing to do with this mess!"

[zackvanhalen]

I totally agree with Jim, but when he said "Bolderdash!" I literally almost died laughing.

[KhanIndustries]

That woman is stupid... I'm sorry but I have to say it. She clearly holds socialistic ideals close to her but states she is playing devil's advocate. She doesn't like the words of REASON and LOGIC from Mr. Rogers and then continues to interrupting him.

I feel bad for Jim, how many times do you have to say the same thing over and over again for YEARS before people get a clue?

[Nickalispicalis]

Geitner was a horrible choice. He is clearly over his head. What the hell was Obama thinking to appoint this dude ? It is like putting the fox in charge of guarding the henhouse.

[therock92555]

i don't understand why is it so difficult for people to understand, that saving your money is good and spending it recklessly is bad. we have our government telling us that spending is good and saving is bad. it is totally against the principles i learned as a child growing up here in the states. remember the famous quote by benjamin franklin, "a penny saved is a penny earned?"

[kbilbou]

yeah saving your money is good but not at this time because if you do save your money more companies will fall and you won't have any moey to save in the future. You need to buy for the economy to get moving. This is how capitalism works.

[nzapanda]

Keynesian "Economics"...LOL. Pathetic.

Learn about Austrian Economics..they predicted the Great Depression, the recession in the 70's and this current financial crisis. Spending isn't the solution. It caused the crisis. How is putting out fire with more fire make sense?

Anyways, people, learn more about real economics. Youtube peter schiff, ron paul, lew rockwell, jim rogers, tom woods.

[kbilbou]

yeah for the government to save money but not for the consumer. Common its common sense

[sshapewa]

man are there ppl out there really feel like exploiding from the idiotic bullshit going on!!!

[sshapewa]

i think its time for iran,china,russia to nuke this fucking country for once and for all,hey china terroristsstart nuking us coz this country is full of retarded fucking assholes and our fuck face president is a coward.

[hurahuradesu]

Why does this woman keep interrupting Jim while he is still talking?

[valicourt]

If I had to bet money on Rogers or Geithner I'd put my money on the latter. 10 to 1

[111harley111]

A Bull in China. Top.

[shikagonga]

if you think this whole thing stinks as it is, then it's gonna get a lot worse. apparently the crooks on wall st have lost confidence in geithner and now they've charged a couple of bastards by the names of Milton Berlinski and Ken Griffin to keep the scam afloat at taxpayer cost. guess who berlinski and griffin represent

[garyowen4ever]

KEIKNER is part of ZOG , what ever crimes he committed in the past dont matter,,,,HE'S IN LIKE SIN!

[hummarstra]

Why must Jim always suffer these fools on TV. That woman was an embASSment.

[4teepee]

What the administration is trying to do is save the biggest bankers jobs and the banks owners. If the administration did the obvious thing—what was done in the savings and loan crisis—and went through the banks books, wrote down the bad loans, declared the banks insolvent, and took them over, then the rich and powerful bankers and campaign contributors would be out of their jobs and out money. They would be replaced by new management, the books straightened out, and the banks then sold off.

[bassthunder]

Now you have a known tax cheater who the Treasury Secretary, not a decent, honest, trustworthy, competent man who's actions have been beyond reproach! Who expects this to be a man who can instill more confidence in the integrity of the country's finances? In a word, Obama.

[5K2aM]

Sack Geithner!!!

[JP5466]

Smart, smart man. Too bad none of these morons listen to him.

[truthsabre7]

For ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise."

~Bible, II Corinthians 11:19 (KJV)

Poor Mr. Rogers..I think he's going to have a stroke.

[putittogether]

The woman interviewing Jim, is incredibly ignorant on economics. I am embarrassed for her.

[cagerat]

The "incredibly ignorant woman" is actually reading a teleprompter. I've personally seen that - Sometimes even "adlib"-sounding comments are scripted. Just a talking head doing her job, following some handed down agenda. Gotta pay the bills....

[5K2aM]

At least she shows Jim respect, not like Martin from CNBC Squakbox. That guy just knows how to squak squak squak and argue with Jim.

[xXRAWxHEATxX]

If you think this woman is ignorant...you should see the movie Anchorman.

[kahunabear]

This video should be required listening for every American. He is dead on, yet we never see him in front of Congress. We just keep letting the foxes run the hen house and paying them extravagantly to do it.

[BlueSkies360]

I have not seen Jim so mad. :) Yesterday, when Geithner laid out his plans, he scared the living daylights out of me. He talked like some dictator.

[becauseicare2]

How old is Geithner?? Was he on his 9th grade class trip to Japan in the 90's??

[MengersDisciple]

Geithner's 47, but he still hasn't figured out how economies work.

[becauseicare2]

Give em Hell Jim!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
