Jim Rogers: Short Emerging Markets, Long Base Metals

Jim Rogers is interviewed by ETNow (India) on the 13th of January 2012.

He explains he sees the markets faring relatively well in 2012 because there are 40 elections in the world this year and politicians will spend money to get reelected. However, we may have a serious crisis coming in 2013 or 2014. In 2012, he seems particularly bullish on base metals. He is still short on emergent markets such as Indian, Brazil and Indonesia because they went up too much, too fast.

When asked about Gold, he says he owns it, do not plan to sell, but do not plan to buy for now as Gold has been in a bull market for 12 years without yearly corrections.
