I've never been much of a fan of Jimmy Rogers myself, but the dude is very smart and has made a whole lot of money in his career. He is one of the fortunate few with the means and knowledge to travel the entire planet in style. Some of his calls have actually been good, but like most, many have been lousy.

To his credit, he did say to avoid US Stocks in late '99 and early 2000 as just about everyone else was insanely bullish. I don't agree with you that he's anti-American since it's America's system that made him so wealthy. I think perhaps what he was relaying to Maria was his understanding of why many parts of the world do hate America(ns). He never said he supported their position and I really doubt he does. He's in a credible position to offer his opinion considering his exhaustive world travels. There is a great deal to be learned from someone that has journeyed the planet so extensively.

If you want a quick laugh, check out this Video footage of him getting his cell phone ripped off in a crowd at a Bull fight at the Festival of Santa Rosa in Bolivia about a month ago. His wife warned him to avoid a particular crowd, but he didn't listen. I'm sure his wife would attest, he is one stubborn man; which no doubt has contributed greatly to his vast wealth.

The Cell phone was stolen near the end of this 5 minute clip. Enjoy:
