Exclusive – Jim Rogers: “MF Global to Help Push Commodities Business Away from Chicago and Towards Asia.”

jimI was lucky enough to catch Jim Rogers on the phone again for a few minutes to discuss MF Global’s affect on the commodity markets, the direction of the U.S., plus an emerging southeast Asian country which presents an “enormous opportunity”.

In regards to the recent MF Global collapse and it’s impact on commodity markets Jim said,“MF Global is causing forced liquidation right now, but longer term people will forget about it. People still need to trade wheat, they need to trade oil. In the longer term it will be like many other disasters in markets, it will be a blip–an unfortunate blip.” Jim added that, ‘This event will be another push to move commodities business away from Chicago and towards Asia.”

In terms of where the U.S. is going fiscally, Jim said, “The U.S. is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world, and we’re setting ourselves up for terrible, terrible, problems. No country which has gotten itself in this bad of shape has gotten out without a crisis.”

gongIn recent commentaries Jim indicated Myanmar is a spectacularly cheap place in the world to invest. In this interview he says if U.S. lifted restrictions, “I would try to find shares in Myanmar’s financial markets in which to invest. They have a very small and fledgling stock market, and they’re trying to develop it more and more. Investing there now is like investing in China in 1978, there’s shortages of everything.”

Jim’s always been 5-10 years ahead of even the “early-adopters” of new investment trends, so this is required listening for serious investors.

Peak Silver Revisited

The world is about to peak in global silver production. This will not occur due to a lack of silverto mine, but rather as a result of the peaking of world energy resources, declining ore grades,and a falling Energy Returned On Invested –EROI. The information below will describe a futureworld that very few have forecasted and even less are prepared. This is an update to myprevious article Peak Silver and Mining by a Falling EROI.In my first article I stated that global silver production may peak in 2009 if we were to enter a worldwide depression. We did nothave the global depression as massive central bank printing and bailouts have thus farpostponed the inevitable. Peak Silver Revisited

Bought Linamar (LNR.TO)

Price today closed at $66.65. I waited a day or two after the stock went down 13.88% on Wednesday to see if it will still go down. Charts using MACD, RSI and Stocastics show oversold. I'm not an expert in looking at charts so I'm just guessing here. The stock opened at $66.43 on Nov 10, 2017 and went as high as $67.14. I was thinking whether I should buy it or not. Near closing, it hovered around $66.70 to $66.75. I put a limit order of $66.72 when it was at $66.75 but didn't get filled for about 3 minutes, then it got filled and closed the day at $66.65. Did not really follow the 3 technical indicators as outlined in Rule 1 Investing which was probably a mistake.
