Watch these videos I post , even if someone doesn't invest in the market its the greatest course on wise investing in the past decade.

Basically what he is saying, is that no one has discovered major oil well, an "elephant" in 40 years. Brazil's oil field finds has never panned out like some hoped because oil is becoming increasingly expensive to extract. The International Energy Agency is going around the world begging everyone to listen to the basic facts, the known reserves of oil are declining.

The world is running out of the known reserves right now that we know of oil. He invests in alternative energy and commodities justy like he predicted the real estate bubble. this was written in 2007

Commodities investment guru Jim Rogers stepped into the U.S. subprime fray on Wednesday, predicting a real estate crash that would trigger defaults and spread contagion to emerging markets

"You can't believe how bad it's going to get before it gets any better," the prominent U.S. fund manager told Reuters by telephone from New York.

"It's going to be a disaster for many people who don't have a clue about what happens when a real estate bubble pops.

"It is going to be a huge mess," said Rogers, who has put his $15 million belle epoque Mansion on Manhattan's Upper West Side on the market and is planning to move to Asia.

Worries about losses in the U.S. mortgage market have sent stock prices falling in Asia and Europe, with shares in financial services companies falling the most.

Some investors fear the problems of lenders who make subprime loans to people with weak credit histories are spreading to mainstream financial firms and will worsen the U.S. housing slowdown.

"Real estate prices will go down 40-50 percent in bubble areas. There will be massive defaults. This time it'll be worse because we haven't had this kind of speculative buying in U.S. history," Rogers said.
"When markets turn from bubble to reality, a lot of people get burned."

The fund manager, who co-founded the Quantum Fund with billionaire investor George Soros in the 1970s and has focused on commodities since 1998, said the crisis would spread to emerging markets which he said now faced a prolonged bear run.

"When you have a financial crisis, it reverberates in other financial markets, especially in those with speculative excess," he said.

"Right now, there is huge speculative excess in emerging markets around the world. There will be a lot of money coming out of emerging markets.


"I've sold out of emerging markets except for China," said Rogers, long a prominent China bull.
Even in China, the world's fastest expanding economy, Rogers said stocks were overvalued and could go down 30-40 percent.
But he added: "China is one of the few countries in the world where I'm willing to sit out a 30-40 percent decline."

Jim Rogers on Asia

In December 2007, Rogers sold his mansion in New York City for about 16 million USD and moved to Singapore. Rogers claimed that he moved because now is a ground-breaking time for investment potential in Asian markets. Rogers's first daughter is now being tutored in Mandarin to prepare her for the future. He is quoted as saying:

"If you were smart in 1807 you moved to London, if you were smart in 1907 you moved to New York City, and if you are smart in 2007 you move to Asia." In a CNBC interview with Maria Bartiromo broadcast on May 5, 2008, Rogers said that people in China are extremely motivated and driven, and he wants to be in that type of environment, so his daughters are motivated and driven.

Guy seems very sharp
Fisher you might be right about Asian books

[gregm]

I love that quote

"If you were smart in 1807 you moved to London, if you were smart in 1907 you moved to New York City, and if you are smart in 2007 you moved to Asia.

Look how well these asian kids do in america, the science and math scores in asia.

Asian girls gamble too, much more fun than alot of western girls if you have money .LOL!

WHEAT is on an incredible run of late..........joining COTTON, CORN, and SOYBEANS as massive gainers.


They are celebrating in Kansas this month.

[boatboatboat]

I grew up in a small farm family (160 acres) and married into a family that farms 1300 acres. They own about 700 and cash rent the other 600.

I enjoy helping in the spring and fall.

They also have a VERY small dairy herd and milk about 65 head. I HATE helping with that.

DO keep an eye on WHEAT. Lotta rain across Iowa.Indiana,Ohio,Neb, Kansas. Starting to look like we will see quite abit of dusty mold. Also having this much rain stops the plants from setting deep roots as it searches for water. Which means the first big wind and your crop lays down, which greatly reduces the harvest.

I look for UNCLE SAM to be a BIG buyer of grains this fall as they attempt to build up supply on hand.

Where, Wisconsin?


Corn planting is being severely delayed in parts of Iowa.........still plenty of time to get the seeds in the ground though, no need for panicking.

[boatboatboat]

Ohio right up against the Indiana border.

No seeds in the ground here of any type. I would say NO seeds in the ground within 200 miles of here. Never is this time of year. But if it stopped raining today it would still be 2 weeks until ground could start to be worked for planting. They are calling for another 1-2 inches of rain today.

We are seeing some land prices here that make my head spin. Lotta HUGE poultry/hog houses here, which means they need land to get rid of manure. EPA has standards, that state that if you have this many chickens or hogs, you need access to XXX amount of acres to spread the waste. Farm land near a livestock operation is going for 11-13k an acre.

Majority of our ground isn't that great. lot of it needs new drainage tile. It's worth around $6500 an acre.

We bought some about 10 years ago and paid $3100 for it.

Shoulda bought more.

Good report, thanks.

Farmland in Iowa has appreciated nearly 25% just in the past 7 months..............not sure how much longer this massive appreciation over the past 10 years can continue. The majority of experts feel the worst will only be a stabilzation of prices over the next 5 or so years.
