Financial Advice from Jim Rogers

I always enjoy the insights and perspective of legendary investor Jim Rogers, co-founder of the Quantum Fund along with George Soros. I found this short video recorded in the last day or so to be very compelling. Financial advisors should really take his prognosis to heart when thinking about current assett allocation strategies. His summary:

• Govt. economic figures, particularly employment numbers, are unbelievable
• He's not really "short" anything right now
• He's not long on equities, though, either, since business fundamentals continue to deteriorate
• The worst is not yet over and looks for a serious leg down later this year or next
• There is no other way to bail out the current financial mess than inflation. Bernanke is finally being honest about this, or more candidly realistic that this will cause future problems. Please invest accordingly.
• He's very bullish on commodities whether the market goes up or down

I have to admit I'm generally invested along these lines as well, in the interest of full disclosure. I have tentatively reintroduced some equity short positions lately, and I'm definately short longer term treasuries, which has been a nice trade recently, and I find hard to believe Jim Rogers isn't playing as well given his inflation bias.

Almost equally important, Jim Rogers has a new book out on fatherhood, offering wisdom to his young children since he became a father relatively late in life. He describes the new emotions you experience and great joy of fatherhood. Being a father is the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, so Amen to that Jim! Enjoy the full video:
