Jim Rogers: Malaysia is attractive

International investors can go anywhere, and they don't go to places where there are restrictions and problems, they prefer the open, exciting and dynamics places. When people think of Malaysia, they think the government owns or controls a major portion of the economy. You have huge reserves, abundant natural resources and Malaysia is at the right place at the right time. Of the many countries that have opened up, I would say Malaysia is one of the most attractive.

Jim Rogers is not selling any Gold

Jim Rogers on if he would keep buying gold at $1200 and lower: Yes, if it gets there. I bought more [June 18], as a matter of fact. I bought a little bit, not much, over the last few days in case this was the bottom. I would not be surprised if there's another chance to buy lower later on, but I'm buying and I own it. I haven't sold any.

We Are in a Global Bond Bubble

"Mr. Bernanke believes you can expand the central bank balance sheet infinitely, and suffer no ill effects. Anything you do to diminish demand for the thing will cause the price to drop. Same thing here. Bond prices will drop, which causes interest rates to rise. We are in a global bond bubble. When it pops is anyone’s guess. I have tried to short bonds a few times. The French tried money printing in the 50’s, the Italians in the ‘60s. At some point, the market won’t take it, and bond prices will go down and rates will rise. We have more money than Bernanke and the central banks do. So at some point this will happen." - in Guru Focus

There Are Places In The World Where Things Are Getting Better

"Korea I find very exciting, or what is happening in South Korea anyway. Russia to my astonishment. I was bearish on Russia between 1966 up until recently. So there are plenty of opportunities. In Angola there are great things happening, Tanzania, and Ethiopia. There are places in the world where things are getting better, but unfortunately for the world, the largest economies in the world are having problems, and that means everybody will suffer." - in Zawya

The Best Way You Can Protect Yourself

"The best way you can protect yourself is to learn about what is happening outside your own country, whatever your own country is. By the way, everybody should have some investments outside their own country as an insurance policy. Even if you live in the best country in the world, have some money somewhere else just in case." - in Zawya

Gold: I Am Not Convinced This Is The Bottom

“I am not convinced this is the bottom. Where that bottom will be I have no idea. Perhaps it will be $900-$1,000.” - in a recent event in Singapore
