I Am Short Stocks And Long Commodities

“I’m short stocks and long commodities. If the world economy gets better, commodities are going to be the place to be because shortages are developing. If the world economy doesn’t get better, commodities are still a better place to be than stocks.”

Stocks Are Not The Best Place For People To Invest

“The world has an ongoing economic problem which has not yet been resolved yet,” Rogers said today. “I don’t think the best place for people to invest is in stocks. “I am still concerned about debt around the world. I am not terribly optimistic about the world economy partially, largely, because of the gigantic debts which have built up.”

There Will Be A Gold Bubble In The End

I am not buying gold. I don`t like to buy anything at an all time high. I am not selling either.

There will be a bubble in gold in the end but that is maybe in 2019, its ways away.

Certainly most bull markets, long term bull markets end in hysteria and in bubbles. We will have a bubble in gold someday down the line.

If I had to buy a precious metal I would rather buy one of the depressed ones like silver or palladium or something. But I am not selling my gold under any circumstances.

Precious Metals: Look At Silver, Platinum And Palladium

Silver is 70% below its all-time high, 60% or 70% below its all-time high. Gold is making all-time highs. I think people should perhaps look at silver, platinum, palladium. Palladium is also 50%-60% below its all-time high. Platinum is maybe 30% below its all-time high. Frequently, you're supposed to buy the things that haven't moved as much. And so I would be looking at the others if I were thinking about precious metals. But I own all four, don't get me wrong.

Gold Outlook

As far as I'm concerned, gold will go certainly much higher over the next decade or so. Governments all over the world are debasing money at a rapid rate and that has always led to higher prices for real assets throughout history and it will this time too.

I mean, I know the old high, adjusted for inflation, is over couple thousand dollars an ounce. I know it'll get there over the next decade. It depends on how much they debase the currencies.

Rates are going to go much, much, much higher. I'm judging the world as it goes. I see that actions by governments all over the world are making it worse. So I presume that will continue and gold will go that much higher over the decade.

It's all part of the same picture ... most governments everywhere only know one thing and that's to print and spend money that they don't have ... Whenever you do that, it debases currency, always has, and until I see some governments realize that they have to do something else, then I plan to own gold and other precious metals and other real assets.

Favourite Long Term Investment

When I can I buy more renmimbi. Its my favourite currency in the sense that I am pretty sure I am going to make a fair amount of money over the years in this currency. Its not my favourite in terms of liquidity. But as a long term investment, its the one I am most certain of.

I Am Long The Euro.

“That’s not the way it’s supposed to work. I don’t think it’s good for Europe, and I don’t think it’s good for the world to bail out people who have failed. Debasing what has been a strong currency and making it weaker and weaker is in the end going to destroy the euro. In the interim, I’m long the euro. It’s time to go in and take the other side. It got beaten down so much.”

I'm as confused as anybody else… I'm basically short stocks and long commodities and trying to figure out whether to add to the euro yet.

Once a technical rally starts, who knows where it can go from that.

Gold Has Been A Good Way To Preserve Wealth.

Gold has been, historically, a good way to preserve wealth, but so have other things as well. I own gold. Gold is making all-time highs. It certainly has been a way to preserve wealth in the last decade. Whether there are better things in the next decade or not, and I suspect that there will be better things, I do own gold.

Printing Money Has Always Led To Inflation

Printing money has always led to inflation, eventually. When things go wrong, governments have always printed money, at least in the last few decades. That’s all they know and they will do it again. There will be times, obviously, when the printing presses slow down or even stop but when things get bad again they start over, and that’s all they know.

I Would Like To See The Euro Survive But I Don’t See How It Can.

I certainly expect the Euro to be around in 2012 or 2013, but whether it’ll be around in 2023, I don’t know. It’s becoming more and more a political currency. It wasn’t always. In the beginning, it wasn’t a political currency. It was designed to be a rock solid currency, but, since then, it’s become a political currency and most political agreements or political institutions don’t last. No currency union has ever lasted. It’s been tried before. I wish the Euro would survive. The world needs something to compete with the dollar. The Euro, on paper, makes enormous sense, but, unfortunately, the people who wrote that contract back in 1992 are all gone now and the new guys all want to buy votes. So, I would like to see the Euro survive, but, in reality, I don’t see how it can.

There Will Be Inflation.

Well, there will be inflation. First, you have to have inflation before you can have hyperinflation. I mean, we have inflation now. If you go to the shop, whether it’s groceries, or education or insurance or health care, prices are going up for everything. The government lies about it in the US. Some countries lie, many countries don’t: Australia, China, India and Norway. Many countries don’t lie about it and acknowledge that we have inflation. Others lie about it, the UK and the US, but if you go shopping you know prices are up.

A Few Thoughts On Reserve Currencies

Reserve currencies can be anything that you want. The problem with paper money is that it’s easy to debase and abuse. As I said, the US is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world. They keep printing the stuff. The UK, once upon a time, had the world reserve currency. They abused it mightily. Eventually the world just said “no, we’re not going to take sterling anymore” and rightly so. So, in my view, that’s the problem with paper money. Now, gold has its own problems too. Gold didn’t survive very long either as the world reserve currency since politicians kept changing the rules. Unfortunately, politicians know how to abuse and destroy. One can think of various and sundry solutions. My only worry is that, no matter what mankind has come up with in the past, politicians have always found a way to abuse it and debase it.
