If you have the majority of your savings in US dollars, this may be the most important insight you ever hear from Jim Rogers. In an interview with Bloomberg from this morning, Rogers said: “We’re going to have a currency crisis, probably this fall or the fall of 2010. It’s been building up for a […]
