Did anyone happen to see that little termite Jimmy Rogers on Market Week last night? When he took off for his last world tour, I had hoped we were done with that little bow tied, anti American creep. For years he has made negative comments about the American market, American ideals and American stocks. From 1997 till he drove away in his yellow <perfect choice> car, I can not remember one time when he made a decent call, or even offered an unbiased suggestion. He was bearish on the US stock market through out the entire bull run, yapping about copper, tin and other odd ball choices. Every week he would debate with Bill Wolman, and every week his argument proved to be wrong. Then, when we are about to hit the worst pullback of our generation, the bow tied sage went long the US market. Way to go Jim. Yeah, you really deserve air time.
Last night really corked it for me when he said 'Well people are mad because We LET the Jews live on the Palestinian's land'. He made it clear he agreed with our critics. Somebody needs to tell that little creep that he needs to do a little reading. THE UN GAVE that barren land to the Jews. I sincerely hope anyone who finds Rogers as distasteful as I do sends a letter or an email to CNBC suggesting they get someone who has a little better track record than Mr Rogers. There are so many like Bill Steidman or Bill Wolman, who can give us information that we can work with, not like Rogers suggestions of investing in Africa, tin, lead or copper. I find Jim Rogers to be no better than Blodgett or Meeker. If you add in his anti America leanings, he's probably worse than they are.
