Jim Rogers Remains Bullish on Precious Metals

According to legendary investor and co-founder of the Quantum fund with George Soros - Jim Rogers, the precious metals crowd has nothing to worry about now that Obama has been reelected. The billionaire urged the market to expect more of what we've seen in the past four years. The loose monetary policy, further quantitative easing and weak dollar will support the upward trend in gold and silver, according to Rogers.

Previous four years were very generous for precious metals. President Barack Obama's first term saw silver up an eye-popping 236% while gold added an impressive 128% gain. Those both precious metals overwhelmed the S&P 500's 75% return. Such huge results raised concerns in more than a few investors about another asset bubble in a long list of bubbles that includes technology, finance and housing in the past 12 years.

"Investors should prepare for rising prices and more expansionary monetary policy now that President Barack Obama has won reelection. "If Obama wins, it's going to be more inflation , more money printing, more debt, more spending," Rogers recently told CNBC. The investor also said he plans to sell federal debt and purchase more gold and silver.

So if Jim Rogers is correct, then investors should expect big things and rising trends from precious metals in the next four years. But with all kinds of precious metals investments to choose from, the landscape can be confusing. There are some risks to be considered before deciding to invest in gold and silver.

The biggest risk to gold is a liquidity crunch like the one we saw in the financial crisis of 2008. The trigger for an event like that could be Europe, which continues to struggle with too much debt and shortages of tax revenue.

Although the region continues to combat its financial problems, margins calls for big investment banks and intuitive traders would weigh on gold and silver. Jim Rogers is bullish on gold and silver, projecting that the next four years will look much like the last four years for precious metals.

Prepare for the recession, get some agricultural commodities and silver, urges Jim Rogers

The recession is coming, there is no way to prevent it, warns renowned investor Jim Rogers. For couple of months the chairman of Rogers Holdings and Beeland Interests, Inc. is calling for recession. The reason for this is that he feels United States' enormous debt levels and upcoming fiscal cliff will propel into yet another economic spiral.

Jim Rogers stated his opinion that the next two years - 2013 and 2014 will be worse than the fallout four years ago in 2008. The Federal Reserve has announced an extremely aggressive QE3 and that forced Rogers to become extremely bearish on the U.S. dollar. In the investments guru's opinion, it will suffer the same losses that the pound sterling did years ago.

But there is something we can do about the upcoming fall as Jim Rogers shared his ideas how to overcome the recession. He advices to go for agricultural commodities. Based on history, Rogers feels these assets are depressed and that they will have plenty of room to run given rising demand for food around the world.

Second, Rogers stated that he likes silver better than gold as he feels it to be undervalued by comparison. The bull market in gold won’t end until it too reaches a bubble sometime near the end of the decade, so there is good chance to win if you bet on silver.

And lastly, Rogers has been boasting two foreign currencies. His eyes are set on Asia and he considers Japanese yen and Chinese renminbi as good investment. Mr. Rogers is not worried about a China slow-down in the last year.
