Recession could be ‘in the next year or so’
Roger’s view on the economy is that the next recession could potentially start in ‘the next year or so’, and argues that ‘it may have already started’, citing woes in Argentina and the Indian banking sector. On the equity market, Rogers said he is the ‘world’s worst’ at short-term predictions. However, he said he is optimistic on certain stocks, including shares in China, Russia and Japan. When it comes to the US market, Rogers said he doesn’t ‘particularly like buying things at all-time highs’ adding that he prefers to ‘buy low and sell high’.

Rogers is bullish on Russia
Jim Rogers has reportedly bought rouble bonds following the imposition of Russian sanctions this year, betting that they won’t weigh on the country. Rogers tells IGTV that he does not believe in the effectiveness of sanctions, particularly in the long term. He said ‘Russia is hated, the markets are down, the Russians have very little debt, huge natural resources, they are opening up more and more’.
