If you haven’t checked out Jim Rogers, ex partner of George Soros, here’s some good interview videos of him. The first one is from March 2007.

These are all from late 2007, and all proved to be totally correct in terms of what he saw happening.

And a two part Bloomberg series:

[re Wall Street bankers] Betty, listen to the words: Level 3 Accounting/Assets. Next year they are going to have own up…

We’re going to get 100 dollar, 150 dollar oil, it’s going to happen….
I know it’s going to happen because nobody has discovered any gigantic oil fields for over 40 years.
I mean, there’s just no oil out there…
The bears say, there’s plenty of oil out there, well, then I suggest they sell their oil, but they don’t.. the reason is, there’s no oil out there.
The reserves are declining nearly everywhere in the world, nearly every oil company has declining reserves, nearly every oil country has declining reserves… there’s just no oil out there, despite what the bears say.

When it comes to bailing out, they’re going to be the ones bailing out [the United States], we can’t be doing any bailing out…

Listen… Level 3 assets, you’re going to see this problem come up next year [2008]…

Bonds in my view peaked in 2003, and are going to be going down for years to come… and even if I’m wrong, you’re not going to be making money with bonds with yields between 2 and 4% in the developing world, there’s better places to make money…

If I were Bernake, I would abolish the Fed and resign…
