Jim Rogers : I Don`t Pay Any Attention To Rating Agencies

Jim Rogers : "I don't pay any attention to rating agencies as they do not make money for you, so why should you pay attention to them? If they file any downgrades, then you may find bottoms in markets, may be that would be a time to buy again." - in India Times

Jim Rogers Investment Strategy : I Never Followed The Crowd

Jim Rogers : "I was always skeptical and curious and I never followed the crowd. I know that following the crowd is never a way to succeed in any field I can think of. So, no, no, if you do your own thinking, independent thinking, become skeptical, question everything and go against the crowd, you are probably going to be successful." - in a recent interview, answering a question about what made him a successful investor

Governments only making the Crisis worse

Governments and central banks have reacted to the crisis in what they view is the correct manner, but, in my view, it is an artificial manner and they are only making the crisis worse. The reason it is stretching out as a problem is that they never let the problem cure itself.

There Are a Lot of Mystics

I own gold and haven’t sold any, we are in a long overdue and much needed correction. The anomaly was that gold had been up 12 years in a row. That’s not normal, typical action. It’s abnormal, which worries me and should worry all the gold bulls. It has now corrected for some 18 to 20 months now. I find that encouraging. I mean, I don’t know, because I'm not a very good market timer, but I do know that most corrections go on long enough to scare a lot of people and scare them out of their positions, and that’s what I would expect to happen. I've had people write to me and say: “gold cannot go down 30%”, and I say: “turn on your computer. It’s there.” There are a lot of mystics that are still true believers. Until it scares a lot of people the correction is not over. I would certainly like the correction to be over this afternoon and see gold go to $2,000 or to $3,000, but that’s not reality. - Jim Rogers via a recent Gold Money interview
