[...] For the millions of investors who are tempted to interpret Soros's comments as bullish, that admission forces me to urge caution. In fact, my advice to proceed with caution extends to any comments that might be made by such other investment legends as Warren Buffett, or even Soros' former investment partner, noted author and commentator Jim Rogers.

I think Jim is right on the debt in United States. according the treasury direct website, United states debt currently hit 11 trillion today. This is the fastest pace in the debt accumulation in USA history. In four months and 17 days, the debt added another 1 trillion dollars. if the debt increase in the same rate of the past four months, the USA debt will be surpass the its GDP at June 2010. after that the sky is the limit! God help us all!

You can see from one of the other links on this page that Mr. Rogers was advocating investment in commodities (including oil) and in China in April of 2008.

Had you taken his advice then, you presently would be missing more than half of your investment.

Hi….Thought this would interest you. Something I found out quite recently which would indicate that China has begun to meddle big-time in the currency markets. Read this article of mine called "China's Torpedo Play: Yuan Set to Replace Dollar in Asia" here:

http://slowsmile.hypocrisy.com/2009/02/10/chinas-torpedo-play-yuan-set-to-replace-dollar-in-asia/

On reflection and also concerning this article, it is probably unlikely that South Korea, Japan or Vietnam, will immediately join this new reserve currency, because of debts and covenant ties to the WTO, IMF and World Bank. But, as I see it, there is no earthly reason to suppose that the likes of Russia, Thailand, India, Cambodia, Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore will not join. I believe these Asian countries will clamour for it since, if and when China opens up its currency, it will undoubtedly be the strongest currency in the world. I have also discovered that China has been buying up gold, which would also fit in nicely with China's currency play.

Russia, strangely, will also be part of this new Asian Reserve currency. Before the last G20 summit, China went into secret talks with Russia which is quite disturbing. Economically, Russia is the perfect fit for China. On the one hand we have Russia with all the raw materials, energy and oil anyone could want and on the other hand we have China, with a cheap and vast workforce as well as huge manufacturing capability. Although these two countries aren't so apparently aligned now politically or economically, things could certainly change after the G20 Sumit in London this April.

Please use this info however you like. I am only a small-time scrawler who enjoys writing about economics and geopolitics. But this info needs to be disseminated properly I think since this info seems to be well suppressed in the West – I left a reasonable comment like this on The Times UK website(twice) – and they wouldn't print it.

Very odd that.

Mr. Rogers at his point has accumulated a massive personal net worth along with his mentor George Soros most recently by shorting banks and other financials for much of the past 18 months. He was seen on Bloomberg last week stating that he favored letting the banks fail "2 by 2 or 3 by 3". This event would of course add to his personal fortune.

How could anyone have anything but utter contempt for a despicable Marie Antoinesque (sic) cretin like this man?
I doubt that the socio economic effects of a massive world bank failure on the innocent "unbathed masses" that he obviously could care less about ever enters the mind of a piece of morally bankrupt scum like him.

I sincerely hope that the biblical warning that the first will be last is true and this piece of pompous subhuman garbage winds up dead last in the next alignment.

Jim,

You say that the coming years in the U.S. will be like the 1990s in Japan or like the world wide Depression in the 1930s. You then went on to say there may be stagflation. Both the 90s in Japan and the 1930s Depression were deflationary. So which is it going to be? You can't have it both ways Jim….
