From Market Folly:
Jim Rogers has been in the media a lot over the past couple weeks and we wanted to provide a summary of these thoughts. He is a noted investor and founder of the highly successful yet now defunct Quantum Fund (with George Soros). Rogers has been out providing his opinion on various topics and giving us a deeper glance at some of his portfolio plays. We've compiled a list of some of his major positions below. Firstly, we'll examine some of the plays he's revealed just over this past week.
The rally we've been seeing in equity markets is a bear market rally that can last anywhere from days to months, according to Rogers. He sees the economy as getting worse before it gets better, citing more bankruptcies to come. It might be 'a bottom,' but its not 'the bottom,' Rogers said. He's very bearish on a macro level and thinks it could take 7 to 8 years to really clean out the system. He's noted that all the bailouts have added to the risks of an economic depression. His displeasure with the US government is no secret, as he thinks they are 'throwing money' at the wrong things.
