In (second part of the) interview Jim Rogers says that bull market in commodities has long way to go and he expects intervention in commodities market as politicians can do stupid things like invading Iraq because of WMD.
Right now there are 2,076,000 farms in the U.S. 105,778 people work for U.S. department of agriculture. Different states have their own departments of agriculture, meaning that the total # of people working for state agriculture deparmtnets is higher than, but by how much I don't know.
Well it would be quite funny and scary to say that people can't invest in commodities. LOL its INSANE, I am glad I live in Canada...I hope they do not pull that crap here.
Jim Rogers on Bloomberg Video on June 5, 2008:
He said he is:
* Short: Investment bank ETF
* Short: Citibank and Fannie Mae
* Long: Airlines
How has that stood up so far? Keep in mind, the S&P500 is down ~13% since then.
* iShares Dow Jones US Broker-Dealers ETF (IAI) down ~23% - which he was short
* Citibank (C) down 6% ; Fannie Mae (FNM) down 97% - both of which he was short
* AMEX Airline Index 'XAL' up ~40% since June - which he was long

This guy is scary but he's also right. I'm
glad he keeps showing up and sharing his
pearls of wisdom before these TV models
who really could care less and if they
care at all they all look like Maria
Bartiromo on a down day and Kudlow on
an up day bouncing up and down all
around with caffeine and meds to
control the moods.

Jim is brilliant. meanwhile we need stockbroker aid rather than farm aid and why do we subsidize famers anymore?
