Jim Rogers: "Don't Give Up on Commodities"

By , Associate Editor, Money Morning • @TaraKateClarke -

Jim Rogers

Legendary investor Jim Rogers just spoke with BBC's Radio 4 on Aug. 24, now known as "Black Monday" - the day commodities crashed to their lowest level in the 21st century.

Brent crude oil prices, the international benchmark, have plummeted 18.8% in August so far, dipping below $44 a barrel. Futures have fallen 38.6% from the 2015 high of $69.94 seen just over three months ago. WTI crude oil prices have fallen even more - the U.S. benchmark has tumbled 20% this month, 34.6% this year, to hit below $39 a barrel.

There are ample reasons to be pessimistic about commodities right now.

But according to the famously contrarian Rogers, investors shouldn't rule out a comeback for the depressed sector...

Jim Rogers on Why Oil and Gold Are Headed "Much Higher"

By , Contributing Writer, Money Morning -

Legendary commodity investor Jim Rogers sees some serious problems stemming from the situation in Syria and the end of the Fed's generous flow of money.

In an interview with Reuters on Tuesday, Rogers said "oil and gold will go much, much higher" due to a "market panic."

"I own oil, I own gold, I own things like that and if there is going to be a war, and it sounds like America is desperate to have a war, they're going to go much, much higher," Rogers said. "Stocks are going to go down, some of the markets that I'm sure are already going down, commodities are going to go up. I'm not particularly keen on war, I assure you, but it sounds like they want it."

Rogers continued, "No matter how well the plans are made, strange things happen in war and who knows what unintended consequence will come."

Equities have been hit hard over worries of a war with Syria. The rout started late Monday following comments from U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry that the United States has a moral obligation to act on Syria's chemical weapon attacks. Selling picked up steam Tuesday with the Dow plunging 170 points.

Where to Invest in 2013: What Jim Rogers is Most Optimistic About

By , Contributing Writer, Money Morning -

If you're looking for where to invest in 2013, know that the best investment opportunities often come from areas that are out of favor, giving them large potential upside.

That is what successful contrarian investors such as Jim Rogers and others do. They look for investments where people are rushing out of the 'doors' - creating bargain prices, as opposed to investments where people are clamoring to get into - creating rich valuations.

So far in 2013, one sector where investors have been rushing out of is the entire commodity space. This has created opportunities for sharp-eyed investors.

Jim Rogers on Gold Prices 2013

By , Money Morning -

With the yellow metal down about 14% this year, wouldn't it be great to get the scoop from famed investor Jim Rogers on gold prices in 2013- specifically, why they're down, and if investors should still bet on a long-term gold bull market?

We had a chance to ask Rogers those very questions last weekend.

Sunday evening, Money Morning Executive Editor William Patalon III spoke on the phone with Rogers - who was at his home in Singapore - in a wide-ranging discussion about gold, U.S. stocks, commodities and global central banks' "race to the bottom" - or, as Rogers calls it, "race to insanity."

In this exclusive interview, the legendary investment guru took us on a tour of the gold market, taking a close look at what's driven the past 12 years of gold price gains - and what will move the yellow metal going forward.

He also pointed out the one fundamental reason why gold prices fell recently...

Jim Rogers Exclusive: It's a "Race to Insanity"

By , Executive Editor, Money Morning • @privatebrief -

If you are invested in the lofty stock markets of the United States or Japan, legendary investor Jim Rogers has a message for you ...
Euphoric gains always lead to hangover pains - it's just a matter of when.
"This is artificial, as I've repeatedly said," Rogers told Money Morning during an exclusive interview Sunday night. "This is the first time in recorded history where nearly all the central banks in all countries are pumping out lots of money, debasing their currencies, printing money. I've never seen this in history, and now we've got everybody - or nearly everybody - doing it."
In a wide-ranging interview from his home in Singapore, Rogers warned that this "race to insanity" will likely do maximum damage to the global economy.
Here's why Rogers is highly "skeptical" that anything good will come of it...

Jim Rogers Exclusive: Once Gold Bottoms, We're Looking at "A Multi-Year Bull Market"

By , Executive Editor, Money Morning • @privatebrief -

Gold soared 650% from August 1999 to August 2011.
But it's down 24% from the $1,885 peak and in recent days has whipsawed gold investors in a way they haven't experienced in 30 years.
The bear market has gold bugs reaching for the Dramamine. But we reached for the telephone instead and dialed Singapore - and legendary investment guru Jim Rogers.
In his usual contrarian manner, Rogers said he sees the current correction as a buying opportunity.
Here's his take on where gold goes from here...
