The US dollar is a terribly flawed currency

Jim Rogers : I own US dollars. I do not own US bonds. It is a bubble as far as I am concerned. I expect sometime I will be shorting US government bonds, but I do plan to own US dollars. Now, the reason I own US dollars is because there were so many pessimists on the US dollar that I bought some and if we continue to have currency turmoil which I expect, then many people are going to flock to the US dollar. US dollar is not a safe haven, but many people think it is or they do not know what else to do. So they have put their money in the dollars. Somewhere along the line, if the dollar goes up, then I may be the seller.I do not know if I will ever own US dollar after that because the US dollar is a terribly flawed currency. - in MoneyControl

The EU will not break up

Jim Rogers : I do not think the EU will break up at all. The euro will have some problems this year. I am actually long on euro. There are many people shorting the euro right now. But I am thinking about buying more. I do not think that the euro is going to break up in 2012. I certainly think it will within the decade, but it will survive this year, maybe some money will drop out of the euro, but it is not going to be the end of the euro. The world needs something like the euro. I hope it can pull together. I cannot invest on hope obviously. - in MoneyControl
