I'm Not Buying Markets Making All-Time Highs

The American stock markets are at all-time highs, the Japanese market is 50 percent below its all-time high so I own Japan, I own China,  I own Russia, I own things that are depressed on the idea that if things do get better these markets will catch up and if they don't get better at least I'm not going to get destroyed in some of these markets making all-time highs.

How I Invested In A Graphene Start-Up

Graphene, according to scientists, is going to be as important to the world as scientists. I did not say that, but scientists say it. It is thinner than paper and stronger than steel and they can even use it to purify salt water. I have been bullish on graphene for a long time, and all of a sudden an entrepreneur in this space shows up, he has been in this business for a while, and therefore I put in some small amount of money.

Jim Rogers: Facebook (FB), Apple (AAPLE), Netflix (NFLX), Google (GOOG) 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.”

Jim Rogers: My Thoughs On Bitcoin

I'm not sure you should ask me because I have never bought one Bitcoin. If I were smart, I would have bought them nine years ago, seven years ago, five years ago or even five months ago. So I don't know. If I just showed you charts of what's going on and described without telling you which country or which time periods, you would say "Oh, that looks like a bubble, sounds like a bubble." It does! But don't ask me because I missed the whole thing.

Cryptocurrencies Have All The Chracteristics Of An Asset Bubble

I have never owned any cryptocurrencies and I say that with great embarrassment, I wish I had, obviously. But now there are two thousand of them up from nothing a few years ago. This is what bubbles feel like.

Jim Rogers: Bitcoin and Cryptocurrencies

In this podcast Jim Rogers discusses bitcoin and cryptocurrencies.

Gold: Not Buying Yet

If and when gold goes down a lot I plan to buy a whole lot more. People just expect too much from gold, everybody's still bullish, there's still a lot of mystics, you know. Everybody still loves gold including me but I'm not buying, not yet. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX))

Bitcoin: I'm Certainly Not Buying Now

I don't own any crypto currencies,  I never have owned any crypto currencies and I say that with great embarrassment. I wish I had obviously but now there are two thousand of them from a few years ago. I mean this is what bubbles feel like, look like  and sound like as you well know. 

So is it a bubble? I don't know  but it looks like it, it feels like. You look at the charts of Bitcoin and the others, I mean they could look like any other bubble, they all look the same, all bubbles throughout history have looked and felt the same. I'm certainly not buying any now.

People Starting To Invest In Russia Again

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. (Market Vector Russia ETF Trust (RSX), iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index ETF (EEM))

Q: What do you think about Bitcoin?

I'm not sure you should ask me because I have never bought one Bitcoin. If I were smart, I would have bought them nine years ago, seven years ago, five years ago or even five months ago. So I don't know. If I just showed you charts of what's going on and described without telling you which country or which time periods, you would say "Oh, that looks like a bubble, sounds like a bubble." It does! But don't ask me because I missed the whole thing.

The Reason Why There Won`t Be A War In Korea

The Chinese have told Donald Trump that if he starts a war they'll have to defend North Korea but they told North Korea that if you start a war we will not defend you. So there's nobody who's gonna go to war. (iShares MSCI South Korea Index Fund ETF (EWY))

When To Buy Gold Again

Jim Rogers said in a recent interview that he is taking a contrarian view on Gold. Gold has not had enough corrections yet and for that reason there are still many gold perma bulls. Jim' s argument is that when everybody is throwing gold away at fire sale prices, then it might be a good time to consider buying it again:

"For me, gold has not had enough corrections yet. There are still too many gold bugs." 

"When people say, 'I never want to invest in gold again,' that is when I want to invest in it...When everybody is throwing it out the window, that is usually a good time to buy anything, including gold. So far, there are too many people that love gold."

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.

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.”

The Problem With 26-Year Old Investors

What Policies Would Help Economic Growth? : Jim Rogers

Throughout history when you cut taxes, especially cutting individual taxes and also corporate taxes has always helped. Remember John Kennedy did it and we boomed for a while.

Trump's tax plan won't move the markets: Jim Rogers

It is not nearly as much as Donald Trump has promised. He promised us a lot before but any tax cut is better than nothing! (SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (SPY), Nasdaq 100 Index Futures, Dow Jones Industrials Average)

Focus On Stocks That Are Not On The ETFs Radars

In a recent interview with MarketWatch, Jim Rogers urges investors to focus on stocks that are not on the exchange traded funds (ETFs) radars: 

“If somebody can just take the time to focus on the stocks that are not in the ETFs, there must be fabulous opportunities in those stocks because they’re ignored. Some of them have got to be doing very, very well. And nobody’s buying them, because only the ETFs buy stocks.”

The Risks Of Holding ETF’s

In a recent interview with MarketWatch, Jim Rogers highlighted the risks of owning Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) when a bear market in stocks eventually arrives:

"When we have the bear market, a lot of people are going to find that, ‘Oh my God, I own an ETF, and they collapsed. It went down more than anything else.’ And the reason it will go down more than anything else is because that’s what everybody owns."

The US Dollar Will Lose The Currency Reserve Status

When the US Dollar replaced the British Pound (GBP) as the world`s reserve currency, there was no one really going around trying to do it quickly.  Now you have several major economic forces: Russia, China, Iran and a few others that want this to happen. So, it will happen faster, this time.

Investing: How To Be Successful

The only people are successful in investing or in most things of the people who stay with what they know. I happen to think that Asia is going to be the most important continent in the 21st century. 

I know there's lots and lots of opportunities in Asia, I just see them every day but that does not mean you shouldn't stay with what you know.

Gold: Prepare For A Huge Bubble

I hope I'm smart enough to prepare for that huge bubble that's coming down the road. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX))

I've Got Plenty of Gold

I've got plenty of gold I'm not worried before this is over gold is going to turn into its own bubble because whenever there are big problems and people lose confidence in government and paper money they always buy gold and silver doesn't matter whether they should or they shouldn't that's what they do okay so they'll do it again. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX))

Gold: My Plan

I haven't bought any serious gold since 2010 but I own it and I'm not selling it. My plan is that when gold goes under a thousand US dollars, I hope I'm small enough to buy a whole lot. (SPDR Gold Trust ETF (GLD), iShares Silver Trust ETF (SLV), Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (GDX))

Investing: If You Don't Know Anything Put Your Money In The Bank

Stay only with what you know and if you don't know anything put your money in the bank. A little bit of interest is better than to lose a lot of money, so stay with what you know.

Investing: Don't Get Burned

First of all nobody should invest in anything unless they themselves know a lot about. Don't listen to me or don't listen to the television or anything else because if you're investing in things that you don't yourself know a lot about when bad times come you're not going to do well, you're really going to get burned.

Investing: What Excites Me

What excites me is the fact that the world is going to have a serious problem in the next couple of years and with a lot of people are going to lose a lot of money I hope I'm not one of those people.

It's going to be the worst worst in my lifetime, the worst in most people's lifes. It is not going to be fun so you should be knowledgeable, you should be worried.

The Absurdity of Extremely Low Interest Rates

It's all absurd. If 20 years ago we had said interest rates are going to go to zero and they're going to go to negative people would have said that's incomprehensible, that cannot happen and I explained it has been done by the central banks they would really say it's incomprehensible.

Market Turmoil Will be Bullish For The US Dollar

I expect market turmoil in the next couple of years but one result of market turmoil is that the  US Dollar is going to go higher because people are going to look for a safe haven now they think the US Dollar is a safe haven for historic reasons.

Benjamin Franklin: Liberty and Security

I don't know if you remember but Benjamin Franklin said during the American Revolution that people who give up liberty for more security usually wind up with less liberty and less security. It happens with us as well.

Investing: Some of the Things I'm Doing

Some of the things I'm doing:

• I'm investing in agriculture 
• I've got some precious metals I'm not buying them now because I expect more problems in precious metals first 
• I own a lot of US dollars because people when their problems they look for a safe haven and the US dollars still considered a safe haven by many people.

People Should Have Some Money Outside Their Own Country
