AJ_ Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Jim Rogers article on cnbc.com http://www.cnbc.com/id/29115526/ Investors will have to short government bonds at some point despite their current attraction, as the amount of debt issued is "staggering" and inflation risks are down the road, Jim Rogers, CEO of Jim Rogers Holdings, told CNBC Tuesday. The low rates policy promoted by central banks is likely to pop a fresh bubble in government bonds sometime in the future, Rogers said. "I was short long-term government bonds in the US, I had to cover a little loss because the head of the central bank said he was going to buy US long-term bonds, and he's got more money than I do," he told "Squawk Box Europe." "I plan to sell short US government long bonds sometime in the foreseeable futureÃÆâ€â„¢ÃƒÆ’ƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¢ÃƒÆ’¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢Ã¢â€š¬Ã…¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚¬ÃƒÆ’…¡Ãƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¬ÃƒÆ’â€Å¡Ãƒƒâہ¡ÃƒÆ’‚¦ I don't know when, whether it's this quarter or this year," Rogers said. If long-term interest rates continue to go down, then "you've got to sell short government bonds, because the numbers are just staggering" when it comes to the amount of debt issued by the US and the UK, he explained. "Government bonds may be the last bubble that is developing. I'm not short government bonds right now," Rogers said. The rise in the US dollar was likely caused by short-sellers covering their bets but the trend was unlikely to last long-term, he said. "There are huge short positions in the dollar, everybody is trying to cover. I'm not selling my yen yet, but it's an artificial rally too." "I sold all of my sterling, I wouldn't buy sterling for the next 5 to10 years. The same is happening to the US economy, I'm not picking on the UK," Rogers added. He reiterated his view that, with North Sea oil reserves dwindling and the City of London shrinking because of the financial crisis, the UK had no big industries to fall back upon. The euro and other currencies from the Continent are likely to fare slightly better than sterling, but they were not a 'buy' in his view, Rogers said. "I'm not buying any of these currencies at the moment. I still own the euro, I don't own sterling anymore, I still own the Swiss franc. Europe at least is not a huge debtor, like the UK is," he said. Commodities continue to be the safest bet as fundamentals were good because when the economic downturn is over, the world will need raw materials, he said. "The fundamentals of commodities are improving through all of this," Rogers said. "You're not going to see a mine of any kind opening in 10 to15 years." Agricultural commodities, where prices fell a lot, oil and gold may also be good for investors, according to Rogers. "I'm buying gold just because I'm periodically buying gold, because I do expect it to be much higher over the next decade," Rogers said, adding that history has never seen all major central banks printing money "as fast as they can" at the same time. "I know we're going to have serious inflation down the road," Rogers said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossw Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Thansk Hungry Been reading it for most of the morning. And found a link to his old blog, so plenty of reading ahead. It's good to see how an actual pro trades. Anyone know of any other pro SPI traders blogs? Or good links? only other one I've read before is http://tremblinghandtrader.typepad.com/ which was also a very good read and back to the index... can't keep a good market down it seems! rallied all morning, futures were only a few points off being unched after opening down over 2% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danville Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Didn't trade much today after staying up half the night to see Geithner and the DOW fun and games. Managed to wiggle out of my shorts midmorning. BHP for a nice profit, and the others just made my brokerage. Didn't see the big rise on the xjo coming, so I didn't play the index. That pump was a surprise to me, but it seems traders just saw this as a buying opportunity. RIO and CBA, and PES on the jr. side created some opptimism. UK employment figures just out were better than expected, but Europe will probably wait for the US to make any major moves. No big news out tonight, so you know what that means - manipulation! Considering what happened last night, if you were to manipulate the market tonight, which way would you push it? 7900 is shaping up to be decent support lately.

Danville Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 LOL EB. A smackdown it was. The Wall St wallup! But they've made their point now, and I think they'll give him a short period of time to show them what he can do. Bad luck there is no short term fix to all this. As much as I don't like Geithner's strategies, it's obvious he is one smart cookie. I reckon he'll be up to speed quick smart and give Wall Street a bit more of what it wants to hear when he speaks again tonight. And besides, this guy has guts! Anyone who can look Congress in the eye on national TV and explain with a straight face why he should be in charge of the IRS when he didn't even do his own taxes properly has balls of steel. He'll need them. PS - does he remind anyone else of Robin from the old Batman and Robin TV series?? I keep waiting for him to pull out that red cape.
