China Can See a Recession

"I don’t trust numbers from any government, as most are made up, as you probably know. China has had astonishing growth, but they have problems with housing and inflation. We had the same problems in the 19th century when we were growing rapidly. Every country that rises rapidly has problems. China can see a recession, but the US saw recessions and 13 depressions in the 19th century, and was still the greatest nation in the 20th century. They are trying to slow down, which is the right thing to do. It’s natural they slow down from these growth rates. They are preparing the economy for long term sustainable growth. The only way the China story runs into big problems is if they run out of water. China has a major water problem. They are working hard to solve it. I believe they will solve it. If you want to make a lot of money find companies that are working to fix that problem. As for their stock market, it’s getting closer to a buy. I bought a few shares on Friday. Their market is getting to the point it should be bought." - Source, Guru Focus

How the World Works

Every once in a while I get it right. Even I get it right sometimes. Vindicated? I don’t take any great pleasure in it. I just talk about the way the world works. It’s reality. Unfortunately some people don’t like to see how the world works. - in Gold Money

Economic Growth: India Versus China

"If you go back over the last few years, you will see the Indian economy, as per the numbers its government has put out—some of the numbers its government has projected—are comparable with those of China. Then you go see both countries and you’ll realize something is wrong. If India’s growth over the last couple of years was comparable to that of China, where are the schools, the highways, the infrastructure, the housing, where has it all gone?" - in Live Mint

Jim Rogers Shorts India Stocks

Jim Rogers says India is a wonderful place to visit but as an investment not a good idea. I have sold India short. It doesn't look great. You have debt to GDP ratio very high. Politicians putting more controls, regulations.

The world floating on artificial lake

Jim Rogers: You have every major central bank printing money. The world is floating on a very large artificial lake. You cannot have an efficient and strong economy with artificial money printing. The next economic slowdown will be worse than 2008-2009.
