Jim Rogers : Crude Oil Outlook

Jim Rogers : "I notice there are gigantic long positions, speculative long position in crude oil. Whenever that happens, we normally had a correction. I have no idea what cause the correction. Crude oil did go from USD 30 per barrel to USD 80 per barrel almost straight up for a while so wouldn’t surprise if we had a correction. Just given all the huge long positions in crude, I would expect we will see a correction before we see move up to the upside"

Jim Rogers outlook for iron ore

Jim Rogers :"I don’t pay as close attention to iron ore as I do towards other things as there is no futures market in iron ore. But we do know that there is a huge demand for steel and iron ore. There are three billion people in Asia alone who are trying to have better standards of living —billion of them happen to be in India. I have no idea how high the price of iron ore can go. I do expect all commodities continue to go higher over the next decade and that includes iron ore."

Jim Rogers Investment Strategy

Homeless in Singapore

April 05, 2010Singapore is a nation of homeowners, largely thanks to a comprehensive system of government subsidized housing.

But despite the system's overall success, the strict rules also mean that some people fall through the cracks.

For example, anyone selling their government subsidized house is not allowed to rent one within 30 months. That policy has had unexpected repercussions for divorcees, as Laura Kyle reports.
