Jim Rogers Outlook for Emerging Markets in 2012

Jim Rogers : First of all, you ask about emerging markets. I have to set them short stock of emerging markets such as India and other countries. I am not sure about Chinese shares. Some parts of the Chinese economy are going to have a hard life. The government in two or three years has been trying to pop the bubble in real estate. So anybody who doesn´t know that Chinese real estate is going to have problems shouldn't be investing at all. They should probably just be reading the newspapers. China´s been doing their best for two or three years to slow things down in real estate. It´s going to happen. It is happening, and that will cause a hard landing in properties but the other parts of the Chinese economy are going to continue to boom. If you´re in water or agriculture or many other parts of the Chinese economy, you don´t care if a lot of real estate people in Shanghai are going bankrupt. You´re making too much money and you?re working too hard. So some parts of China will have a collapse. Some parts of China will not be affected at all. - in El Economista.es

Why own Stocks when one can own Commodities

Jim Rogers : well, I'm short emerging markets. I'm short American technology. I'm short European stocks. I don't see much reason to own stocks, Melissa, when one can own commodities. if the world gets better, I'm going to make a lot of money in commodities because of the shortages. if the world doesn't get shortages. if the world doesn't get better, shortages in commodities but then governments will print money and whenever governments have printed money, the way to protect yourself is to own real assets. - in CNBC
