LOL come on now...

So he was only 20 years early...no biggie....LOL

I predict that sometime in the future the US will prosper and see economic growth. Now as soon as this happens I will refer back to this post and will claim I am brilliant.

As if the dollar has only began it's slump in 2008...

LOL

You said he predicted this crisis that we and the US is currently in. He predicted this in 1988. I defined the crisis we are currently in to mean ~2007. This is equal to roughly 20 years early on that prediction. Take a couple of years off. Hell - take 10 or 15 years off. He's still way early and my point is still proven.

Well at least he punted his home in New York City in December 2007 for USD $16 million.
Probably his best trade ever. I read he bought it in the 70s for a few hundred k.
 
I know he was short FNM and C in the 70s and covered around 5.

The guy is good. His timing isnt always that great (and he admits to that) but he has deep enough pockets to stick with a trade.

How anyone on this board/forum can criticize him is utterly ridiculous.
 
Quote from Batman28:

I can comfortably say that Jim Rogers has no money left and has lost all his cash in the market.

My experience of meeting people has often taught me some very good lessons. those who make money in the markets have little time for interviews, tv shows, and constant public face calling the market.

I have also learnt that, more often than not, what you see in appearance is often the opposite of the truth. This phenomena holds beyond finance and its little characters.

The truth: you speak it.
 
The real Jim Rogers:

jim rogers is one these broken clocks that gets the time right twice a day

no one would have made a single dime of profit following all his picks and the only reason he's wealthy is because he hit jackpot in soros quantum fund.

this clown is known for traveling around the world on a convertible and spitting half truths and irrelevant rants on national television to attract an audience of fools and social misfits that fantasize about being like him.

obviously, he is always on the right side of the fence -- a beautiful case of hindsight trading
