Jim Rogers : Fracking is mainly a U.S. thing

Jim Rogers : No, fracking is mainly a U.S. thing. It’s beginning to catch on in other parts of the world as the technology develops. But I’m sure that soon the Chinese will probably pass us all just because once they see things, they catch up very quickly. And they don’t have to deal with a lot of the situations we do in the U.S. with environmentalists, politicians, etc. If they think it’s a good thing, they will jump in with both feet and do it. While there’s not much in Asia yet, I suspect — unless it is just an environmental catastrophe, which some people claim — you’ll probably see Asia catch up and pass the U.S. in the next few years. - in HardAssetsInvestor

Jim Rogers : Treasury Bonds going to be in a Bubble

Jim Rogers : I shorted Treasury bonds again a little while ago, and my timing has never been very good in that market. I’m down a little bit, not much. It’s going to be a bubble. But like all bubbles, they go much higher than anybody expects; certainly higher than anybody rationally expects. You shouldn’t ask me for the timing; I can’t tell you it’s a bubble. That doesn’t mean it can’t go higher. Between the fall of ’98 and the spring of 2000, in 18 months, Nasdaq tripled, even though it was clear to anybody around that it was mania and a bubble. But that’s what happens in bubbles. They become absurd. And this one, it looks like it’s going to continue to become absurd, too. - in HardAssetsInvestor
