Commodities tend to zig when the equity markets zag.
Jim Rogers
I don't think there is a sound UK bank now, at least, if there is one I don't know about it. The City of London is finished, the financial centre of the world is moving east. All the money is in Asia. Why would it go back to the West? You don't need London.

Diversification is something that stock brokers came up with to protect themselves, so they wouldn't get sued for making bad investment choices for clients. Henry Ford never diversified, Bill Gates didn't diversify. The way to get rich is to put your eggs in one basket, but watch that basket very carefully. And make sure you have the right basket.
Jim Rogers
Unfortunately politicians are not very sound people or they wouldn't be politicians.
Jim Rogers
I just wait until there is money lying in the corner, and all I have to do is go over there and pick it up. I do nothing in the meantime.
Jim Rogers
If you bail out every investment bank that gets in trouble, that's not capitalism, that's socialism for the rich
Jim Rogers
The first loss is the best loss.
Jim Rogers
Debasing your currency sometimes works in the short term, it has never worked in the long term and does not even usually work in the medium term. Lots of politicians like to do it because it is an easy way.
Jim Rogers
Never act upon wishful thinking. Act without checking the facts, and chances are that you will be swept away along with the mob.
Jim Rogers
I learned very early in my investing careers: I better not invest in what I want. I better invest in what's happening in the world. Otherwise I'll be broke - dead broke.
