FANG Stocks Will Eventually Crack

In a recent interview, Jim Rogers drew a parallel between the FANG stocks (Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPL), Netflix (NFLX) and Google (GGOG)) and the Nifty 50, a group of stocks that kept rallying in the seventies when the general bull market in stocks was about to end. The Nifty 50 included stocks like Coca-Cola (KO), General Electric (GE) and International Bussiness Machines (IBM).

Jim Rogers noted that these high momentum, big cap Nasdaq stocks are currently holding the indexes but that they will eventually crack: 

“Everything else stopped going up but those Nifty 50, which would be something like the FANGs today, or maybe in the late ‘90s [during the dot com bubble], some of the other kinds of stocks. So this has happened before in market history. They eventually crack, there’s no question.”

Investing In Russia

Jim Rogers noted recently that investors are starting to invest in Russia again (the Russian stock ETF (Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX)) is the worst performing country ETF in 2017):

“We have seen some people starting to invest in Russia again. This is just the continuation of the same process. It is happening, more will happen, but it will not be so fast."

Jim Rogers also does not expect the rating agencies (S&P and Moody’s) to raise Russia’s ratings due to political pressures:

“I wouldn’t think it could be soon. They have a lot of geopolitical pressure than they admit and most people realize.”
