Here's More Jive Talking From Mr. Jim Roger
Is he trying to twist , turn and reverse on his "commodities forever bull" jives:-
Commodities guru Jim Rogers said he is not buying gold. In fact, he said
he has "hedged himself" since we spoke to him last month.
Rogers said he expects gold prices to fall further and believes they
could tumble 40-50 percent off their top if India were to stop its gold
imports or if Europeans were to sell their gold:
"There's some movement in India to really curtail the purchase of gold.
Some people in India say we should stop importing gold period which
would be draconian.
There are also Europeans who are talking about the need to sell their
gold or at least to start offering gold backed-convertible bonds, bonds
convertible into gold, which would be a way to free up their central
bank holdings without dumping gold.
JP Morgan who knows what, they're having to liquidate a lot of things,
and who knows what and where. There are things going on that could cause
gold to go ahead and have a nice reaction which I have been
anticipating.
...There's an element in India in the last several months which is very
strongly saying we've got all this money tied up in gold which is not
good for the economy. If we could just get the money into circulation
instead of locked up on Indian wives or Indian vaults it would be good
for the economy. And there's also a huge group saying that one of the
big reasons we have this huge balance of trade deficit is because we buy
all this gold and put it in the closet. Let's stop that. Now if they
did that it would be devastating for gold. Gold would certainly go down
40% - 50% from its top. I doubt they would do anything that dramatic
that quickly, if Europeans suddenly said they were going to dump their
gold, or if they were forced to, that too would put a big drop on gold."
Rogers said gold has had one only major correction since 2001 and it would be normal and good if gold prices fell.
