Jim Rogers : bullish on Natural Gas and Sugar

Jim Rogers :"I am long on natural gas as a matter of fact but I have never said that someone should buy natural gas. You might look at it instead of crude. Crude is very very high compared to natural gas. I would think you will probably find opportunities in natural gas. How high will it go, I have no idea. I am not smart enough to know that. You should watch your TV everyday and then you would know. The world is running out of known reserves of oil and over the next decade or so, the surprise is going to be how high the price of energy goes and how high it stays. We are running out of energy whether you like it or not. "
and regarding Sugar legendary investor Jim Rogers has this to say :"Sugar is up 300% or 400% from its lows of a few years ago. If you are talking about just this year, it has come down dramatically. I would rather be long sugar than short sugar. I have not owned sugar at the moment but I do not know whether one should buy it or not. I am not very good at market timing but sugar is another way to play energy plus sugar is another way to play the emerging prosperity in much of the world. "

Jim Rogers The Euro has become a Political Currency

In a recent interview with The Hera Research Newsletter (HRN) explained that the US dollar is deeply flawed because the US is the biggest debtor nation in the history of the world and, although an alternative currency is needed, the Euro will not survive in the long run because it has become political and IMF SDRs will probably not last as a reserve currency in the face of significant global economic crises
Jim Rogers: "I certainly expect the Euro to be around in 2012 or 2013, but whether it'll be around in 2023, I don't know. It's becoming more and more a political currency. It wasn't always. In the beginning, it wasn't a political currency. It was designed to be a rock solid currency, but, since then, it's become a political currency and most political agreements or political institutions don't last. No currency union has ever lasted. It's been tried before. I wish the Euro would survive. The world needs something to compete with the dollar. The Euro, on paper, makes enormous sense, but, unfortunately, the people who wrote that contract back in 1992 are all gone now and the new guys all want to buy votes. So, I would like to see the Euro survive, but, in reality, I don't see how it can."
