Jim Rogers Talks About the Economy and What to Expect - By: Allan Michael Taylor

The investment wizard known as Jim Rogers is always asked about so many things regarding the economy, investments, real estate and commodities movements in the market. While some people say that there are some predictions that this wiz made that did not really materialize or come to be realized, he still has quite a list of accolades under his belt for people to easily sweep him under the rug, so to speak. This financial genius has quite a number of opinions regarding the present state of world economy and the floundering state of the US economy and why the recession was something that was bound to happen.

Jim Rogers has been saying in recent interviews that the slump in the economy of the US, and the succeeding slump that was seen to be sweeping through the rest of the world, is actually long overdue. He also said in a few interviews that the surprise he felt was not over the events that were happening but in why it took so long for it to happen. He also said that this is just the beginning and there is more to come and more to change in the way countries should run their economies for things to run a whole lot smoother than it is these days.

In several interviews with a few noted TV journalists, Jim Rogers has said that recession is an inevitable process that helps countries remove excesses and that one of these downfalls in the economy every few years is healthy because it helps these same countries start with a clean slate after every fall and with new ideas to make more money and to stabilize the economy. He also said that bailout packages are not really an ideal way to set an economy back on track and he cites the efforts of the Japanese government that has been trying to bring back to life some of the companies that fell through certain economic cracks 15 years or so ago as still ongoing and still not producing the kind of results that show they have totally bounced back.

Jim Rogers is known for his straightforward answers to questions regarding the economy of the US and what he thinks the present administration should be doing and should not be doing. He says that President Obama does not seem to have a clue about what is going on, which makes it harder for him to come up with the right solution to the problem. He believes that the bailout plans that were put into action won't work and it would be better to let companies that are going bankrupt to experience bankruptcy. He also says that the recession was a disaster waiting to happen and letting one or two big companies in the past fail instead of being bailed out would have shown the country just how excessive the credit situation has been for a decade. Jim Rogers also said that you cannot wipe out a whole decade of such mistakes in a matter of months with the belief that you can simply start over again.
