Jim Rogers: Britain Bankrupt

Jim Rogers on what to invest in

In a recent interview, commodity investor Jim Rogers stated that Britain is bankrupt, and there's not a bank in the country that's not in trouble.

Other than oil and banking, the UK hasn't had much going for it, and oil is depleting while the UK banking industry is in shambles he said.

Jim Rogers reiterated that investing in real assets is the way to go over the next 30 years, and those that produce "real things," will dominate the business landscape.

Rogers recommends, as mentioned, real assets, raw materials, commodities, and to stay away from the U.S. dollar and sterling for sure. The currency Rogers says he's investing in now is the yen.

He also said he is buying China shares again, signifying he things they are near a bottom.

Points covered in video:


Where the opportunities are now

In forced liquidation period

Find things where fundamentals are unimpaired

What is unimpaired are raw materials, commodities

Supplies of everything will continue to decline

Categories like farming, mining and lumber will be significant going ahead

Farming has severe shortages now

Even though demand is going down, supply is going down faster

Historically commodities tend to come back first in tough times because of shortages of everything

Alternative energy a long way from being reality or affordable

Future of China and America over next 30 years

Commodities: Economic Crisis Part 1 of 5

Points covered in video:

Bailouts

Not good for America or world

Bailing out those making bad decisions

Incompetent people should be allowed to fail

Competent people or businesses can start over from strong base ... system grows again

Bailouts are taking assets from the competent and giving them to the incompetent

Entire system is weakened as a result

Incompetent keep bonuses because taxpayers are paying the bill

America as we know it will not exist any more

People responsible haven't even lost their jobs

Previous round of people that did lose their jobs walked away with millions

Money has shifted to Asian economies

Obama has no answer but wants to spend even more

It took 200 years to build a $5 trillion debt in America, in less than a year it stands at least at $15 trillion

Must allow incompetent to fail

Someone has to pay for the last 10 years of excess

18 years after Japan refused to let anyone fail, it still hasn't recovered near to levels at that time

Amazingly, Alan Greenspan went to Japan about 18 years ago and told them they needed to let things fail. He forgot his own correct advice

America now doing the same thing as Japan

Alan Greenspan main culprit of current economic crisis

Should be very worried about future of America
