If you’ve studied Jim Rogers and are sold on the secular commodity bull market story, your next challenge is figuring out how you can invest in this trend. Buying commodities themselves is quite a bit more complex than buying individual stocks because you need to do it via the futures markets, rather than your standard […]
Beijing remains concerned about corn supplies, especially in the medium to long-term, the South China Morning Post reports, as China is becoming a big-time importer of corn: “China’s net import of corn could exceed 20 million tonnes in three years,” said Liu Xiaobo, a Shanghai-based food analyst from Everbright Securities. “Most of the corn imports […]
I’m thrilled to report that while in Singapore last week, I had the great honor of interviewing Jim Rogers in person. He was extremely kind in hosting me and entertaining my questions, and I’m excited to be able to share our fun 45-minute chat with you here. As you may know, I’m a longtime reader […]
Here’s a fantastic Jim Rogers interview, featuring our hero laying into Bernanke big time! Rogers says: Find “real assets” like silver, rice, natural gas that will protect your wealth He owns physical assets – like gold and silver bullion – in addition to futures contracts on gold, silver, even rice “Bernanke doesn’t understand economics, finance, […]

One of the biggest mistakes that I personally have made as an investor over the past 18 months has been underestimating the power of the reflation trade. While you probably know I’ve been a big time commodity bull since 2004 (and had a lot of success in agriculture especially), I “lost my way” after getting […]
Here’s the latest Jim Rogers interview on Bloomberg: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c-vd1-Ec2FY A short bit with another clueless interview, so there’s not too much new: Still likes commodities for another 5-10 years (based on the secular bull market beginning in 1999) Thinks gold will top $2,000 by the end of the decade, thanks to money printing Jim notoriously […]
One of my favorite commodity analysts to track is Jurgens Bauer, especially for his thoughts on the softs. I used to frequently post links to his columns when, I think, he wrote for Barchart.com, or was at least syndicated through them. He’s since moved on, and I was happy to see his name popup as […]
