We are in precarious times | I'd like to be investing in Venezuela but I cannot.

"I have learnt that when countries collapse, normally if you invest in a country that has a catastrophe you make a whole lot of money over the next Four or Five years. But I cannot do anything in Venezuela right now."

Jim Rogers says he sees some danger signs in the US stock market.

"I am not investing in US stock market because I expect problems to come in the next year or two. I am not buying shares. In the US market, some of the stocks like Apple and Google go up every day. They never go down, which is a dangerous sign in any stock markets. When you have a few stocks always going up and the movement has been concentrated and that seems to be what is happening in the US stock market."

Crude Oil pricing fundamentals still strong longer term

Crude oil has not done well the last decade or two.....but it could be making an important bottom which signals long term pricing bullishness.

Fundamentals "Crude in my view is in the process of making a complicated bottom in a few years and then it will be going up for a long time and that is because known reserves of oil all over the world are in decline, and have been in decline for some years."


Price Bottoming process
"Oil prices are bottoming out. They have been bottoming out since 2014. It is a complicated bottom. If you look on the soft price chart you will see the bottom is going sideways for several years. They are going sideways, sideways, sideways, sideways up and down, up and down, up and down, up and down for years. So it is the best bottoms. When they turn around, they go up a lot. And we are in the process of making a bottom like that."

Sadly Americans are not allowed to invest in Venezuela and North Korea

Turmoils and market crisis usually present great buying opportunities. Jim Rogers wishes he could invest in two troubled countries Venezuela and North Korea.

"I would like to invest in Venezuela, but then I am not allowed to because I am American. I have learned over the decades that when you have a country totally collapsing, if you invest there, you become happy after four or five years. I am not allowed to invest in Venezuela at the moment and North Korea I would love to invest in but the same applies. I am not allowed to because I am an American. I am not rushing around looking for investments right now because I am worried about what is going to happen in the world."

Russian stocks look cheap

Jim Rogers prefers to buy Stocks when they are low and Russian stocks appear to be cheaper than others at the moment.

"At the moment I am mainly looking at Russia. In fact, I am buying shares in Russia right now. I own Russian government bonds in Roubles as well. The interest rates are very high there. So yes, I am interested in both. Russia is very cheap compared to markets all over the world. The main problem is stocks in much of the world are up and I prefer not to buy when things are going up and I know that there are going to be some problems in the markets in the next year or two. My hope is that when problems come to the world markets, I am smart enough to buy lots of stocks."

Jim Rogers on Trade War, China stock exposure, Donald Trump

Jim Rogers is buying Russian and Chinese stocks

"Chinese shares have come down significantly from their all-time highs. There are some companies which have problems which is good but other companies other industries in China will continue to do well, no matter what happens. Chinese agriculture is a great place to be and the pollution clean up is a great place to be. You are going to see some bankruptcies in China in the next year or two. There are some good things in China, and some are bad." 

Could a US China US Trade Deal happen ?

"Yes it will because both sides need it and they both have expectations. So yes, there is going to be some good news coming out fairly soon and we will all be happy for a while. But it will not last very long because the next time the American stock market or the economy starts having problems."


President Donald Trump vs Rest of the World

"Mr Trump is going to blame that [stock market problems] on Asia and come out with more trade war not just against China but against Japan, Korea and everybody because Mr Trump in his heart thinks trade war is good. He is surrounded by people who think trade war is good. He thinks he can win a trade war. He does not know history, thinks he is smarter than history or both." 


President Donald Trump could benefit from studying History

"I know he[Trump] is thinking he is smarter than history and I doubt if he knows history. So, we will have more trade wars next year, the year after and that is why another reason the next time we have a bear market, it is going to be the worst in my lifetime.
