Jim Rogers ~ PREPARE FOR FINANCIAL COLLAPSE NOW: When Feds stop printing FIAT currency




From Wall Street, gold price and US finance to conspiracies, latest global news, Gold prices have been tumbling.

But the ardent gold bulls have been hanging on.

The most popular argument that these gold bulls have clung to has been that mining costs will create a floor for gold prices.

The idea is that if gold continues to be below the cost of mining, then miners will stop mining and supply will disappear forcing gold prices up.

Peter Schiff made this argument late last month. And so did Art Cashin.

However, it's not completely obvious that a mine would shut down just because the market price falls below cost.

Jim Rogers, Chairman of Rogers Holdings told Business Insider that the closing of gold mines is a way off:

"I've been in the investment world a long time and I know that things can stay below the cost of production for years. It takes a long time for people to believe they have to close their mines. It costs money to close a mine, it costs money to re-open a mine, so people are reluctant to close mines. So you can see any commodity staying below the cost of production for a while, especially if it's something like a mine which is expensive to close, and expensive to open."

Rogers is a long-term bull on gold but and doesn't think the sell-off is over. He thinks gold prices have further to fall, and that gold is in the process of making a "complicated bottom."

James Beeland Rogers, Jr. (born October 19, 1942) is an American investor and author. He is currently based in Singapore. Rogers is the Chairman of Rogers Holdings and Beeland Interests, Inc. He was the co-founder of the Quantum Fund with George Soros and creator of the Rogers International Commodities Index (RICI).

Rogers does not consider himself a member of any school of economic thought, but has acknowledged that his views best fit the label of Austrian School of economics

Jim Rogers : Obama is The Man on the White Horse

America already has fallen from the Constitutional Republic that it once was. And, yes, we are divided by the false Democrat/Republican paradigm and distractions like the Zimmerman/Martin trial. The mainstream media does not want us to know that there is absolutely no difference between corporate rule under either Bush or Obama.

Jim Rogers 2013 Gold Silver Bull Market Review & 2014-2015 Price Prediction




Demand for physical gold has been robust. U.S. Mint gold coin sales, a reflection of retail investors' demand, stands at 167,500 ounces so far this month. That compares to just 20,000 ounces in April a year ago.

A ravenous appetite for the yellow metal has gone global. Asia, Australia, China and India all report a frenzied rush for gold jewelry and bars from individual investors for gold jewelry. This hearty retail demand provided a cushion for the yellow metal.

Gold has been a foundation asset for centuries, chiefly during times of financial stress. Investors race to the yellow metal in a flight to quality, as a means to protect wealth, a hedge against inflation and as an insurance against extreme movements in other asset classes.

So where does Rogers stand on investing in gold in 2013?

He said this kind of price pull back isn't unusual - in fact, it's a good thing for gold.

That's why Rogers remains committed to gold. Noting an astonishing 12 consecutive years of gains, Rogers said gold was due for a correction.

And Rogers believes gold is destined to go higher over the next decade or so thanks to the global monetary printing presses that continue to spew out dollars at an unprecedented rate.

As for those investing in gold in 2013, he said he's keeping his eye on the yellow metal for a good entry point. There are many ways to invest that could do well this year - as long as investors do their homework.

Jim Rogers : America will Default within thirty Years

Thirty years from now America will certainly have been through a period of default.  There’s more than one way to default, you can print money, pay people off, pay them off with worthless currency.  You have a default.

You’ve defaulted, but you’ve paid off the debts, but the people who receive that worthless money are not very happy.  And that’s going to happen in the US.  You’re going to see institutions that we’ve known in the US for decades are going to disappear, or totally turned over.

Lehman Brothers had been around for 150 years.  Bear Stearns had been around 80 odd years, or something.  You’re going to see more of that.  You’re going to see more universities disappearing.  Some of the Ivy League schools are essentially bankrupt, or we’ll find out that they’re bankrupt.  So you’re going to have huge, huge turmoil, many museums, hospitals, art galleries, many things that we’ve known and loved, are going to be in serious trouble, disappear, and in the meantime you’ll have new companies, institutions rise.

JIM ROGERS - All FIAT CURRENCY will be WORTHLESS in 2014. Dont SELL GOLD or SILVER


JIM ROGERS - All FIAT CURRENCY will be WORTHLESS in 2014. Dont SELL GOLD or SILVER
Legendary investor Jim Rogers sees now as a great time to load up on gold and silver coins - and he's not alone.

A record 7.5 million ounces of silver coins were sold in January as investors hunted for a safe haven investment.

"You can't get [silver coins]. They sell out," Rogers, who owns a rare 2013 silver coin, said on Yahoo! Finance's "The Daily Ticker." "Several mints have run out of coins because everybody's worried about the future of the world."

And 150,000 ounces of American Eagle gold coins were sold in January, the highest monthly total since July 2010.

"Gold has been up 12 years in a row which is extremely unusual for anything," added Rogers. "A lot of speculators are rushing into gold right now. I'm not rushing into gold, but I'm certainly not selling it. If it goes down, I'm buying more."
Gold and Silver Prices in 2013

While gold is only up half a percentage point so far this year, silver is up around 5%.

Many analysts, including Money Morning Global Resources Specialist Peter Krauth, see both metals ending the year higher, especially silver.

Gold and silver will be spurred by the inflationary actions of central banks, strong investor demand and decreased supplies. Krauth expects silver to outperform gold because of the added demand from its various industrial uses, and its low price compared with gold.

In fact, Krauth sees silver prices, currently trading around $31.50 an ounce, reaching $54 an ounce. He sees gold, now trading at $1,675 an ounce, hitting $2,200 an ounce during 2013.

Gold and silver may be off their highs but that hasn't hurt demand for gold and silver coins. Sales of silver eagle coins hit a new record last month and gold coin sales in January reached their highest level in almost 19 months.

"You can't get [silver coins]. They sell out," says legendary investor Jim Rogers. "Several mints have run out of coins...because everybody's worried about the future of the world."

Rogers, chairman of Rogers Holdings and author of the new book, "Street Smarts: Adventures on the Road and in the Markets," tells The Daily Ticker that he "wouldn't rush in right now" to buy more coins, but he's not selling them either.

Rogers says he'll buy more gold only if prices fall further (gold is currently trading 12% below its record high of $1,900).

"Gold has been up 12 years in a row which is extremely unusual for anything," he notes.

Gold and silver, like most commodities, are priced in U.S. dollars. Rogers is not a fan of the greenback but is an owner because other currencies, such as the Japanese yen, are collapsing.

The yen has fallen to a 2-1/2 year low against the U.S. Dollar and has weakened against the euro as a result of the Bank of Japan's aggressive easy money policy.

The man who heads the Bank of Japan, Governor Masaaki Shirakawa, said Tuesday he would step down March 19, three weeks earlier than planned. He was presumably under pressure to ease even more aggressively in order to reverse Japan's long-term deflation. Investors have turned bearish on the yen but Rogers says he is "contemplating buying some" because of the decline.

When asked which currency holds the most promise now, Rogers says it might be the Russian ruble although "he's stunned" to hear himself say that.

"Russia has massive problems...that's why the ruble is so cheap," he notes. "There's great change taking place in Russia and whenever you can find a cheap place with massive positive change taking place you should buy all you can."

In the meantime, he advises investors not to sell their gold and silver coins. "There is no paper money in 2014 or 2015 that will be worth much of anything," he says.

Be prepared for the next great transfer of wealth. Buy physical silver and storable food.

Jim Rogers expects much, much higher interest rates

Jim Rogers : REUTERS 2011 INVESTMENT SUMMIT





Wall street king Legendary investor Jim Rogers and author of ‘Hot Commodities’ agrees with Dr Gloom Boom and Doom Marc Faber in predicting ‘much, much, much higher interest rates’ in the US over the next few years and is now shorting US treasuries. He told a Reuters investment summit this week that ‘everybody in this room knows that prices are going up for everything’, Jim Rogers is not only an astute businessman, a voice of reason and a gentleman but is also blessed with a genuine sense of humor - Jim Rogers 's golden words: Investment in productive capacity is what leads to the long term growth of economy.



One important fact you need to remember. When the crash happens, a new system will be offered. Refuse it, unless it is a gold standard.I doubt that they would offer a gold standard due to what happened in the UK in the 1930s when Churchill tried. It'll just be another Fiat currency backed by nothing.
