Central Bank of Russia is on the Right Track

I own some Russian stocks. To my astonishment, the main one I own is not even down in all this. I guess it’s because it’s – it sells in dollars. Its expenses are in rubles, and it sells in dollars. So that’s helping it, and that’s – Aeroflot (MCX:AFLT) is another one I own, which is also sort of benefiting these days.

But to answer your question, I don’t have a clue. I do know – I think we all know – that markets go up too far, and they go down too far. Once you start building their momentum, panic develops. People get more and more scared. Marching calls go out. So I have no idea.

As far as I’m concerned, the Central Bank in Russia has been doing the right thing. They said they were not going to intervene anymore. Yesterday, they intervened for the first time in a while. But I think it’s very smart – not intervening. Let it collapse. Let it find its own level. And then we’ll have a staggering rebound.

But who knows? It’s 52 right now. I guess, it’s 52 right now. You’re right. It changes every three minutes. Who knows? Why not 60? In Russia, they talk about 60 as some kind of catastrophic bottom. Who knows? I don’t anyway.

Erin sits down with famed investor Jim Rogers to talk about Russia, agriculture, and China. Rogers is bullish on agriculture and likes China.

Jim Rogers Weighs in on Commodities Carnage

As global commodities prices plummet, it’s incredibly convenient to pronounce the commodities super-cycle dead, isn’t it?

Yet banks from Goldman Sachs to Citigroup to Deutsche Bank are on record as saying it’s over.

The Rogers Commodities Index, which represents the value of a basket of 36 commodity futures contracts, is down 20% since mid-June.

But does incredible opportunity lie among the carnage?

Well, I asked the Founder of the Index, celebrated hedge fund manager and bestselling author, Jim Rogers.

Jim was born just a stone’s throw away from Wall Street Daily’sheadquarters in Baltimore, Maryland, and I get smarter every time I speak to him.
