He has been all over the Federal Reserve his entire political career. He knows more about economics than the rest of the congress combined.

Re: Must view for U.S. citizens.......JIM ROGERS says raise interest r
cat, rogers is real good but he is a bear mostly. but he sees out to far in advance and predicts those problems now. he gets it right but it takes a long time for it to happen.
i have followed his stuff for many years. and read his book investment biker on the road to get a real feel for how his mind works. it works well. i value his foreign stock picks and exclude his u.s. ones.

Ron Paul is really one of the few people in the public eye that gets it, and says it.

Re: Must view for U.S. citizens.......JIM ROGERS says raise interest rates
metals can be sold quickly, farmland cant in anything but a rising market. even then its tough to get your price. high fuel costs take a big toll on farming which impacts sales of land.

[/ QUOTE ] Remember, one is making 4-7% renting their farmland to farmers........with very little hassles that are associated with apartments/condos/houses. Farmland has appreciated at 5% a year on average for the last many, many years...........and though one can experience ups and downs, it is a great investment longterm..........and been great for anyone that has purchased land in the last 3-38 months, something I've been recommending here and on other forums during that timespan. Plus, there are all the great intagibles of owning farmland in this country, no matter where it may be at and that is you own a piece of Americana to the highest degree.........and something one can be proud to own.
