Well, Well, Well... craig you finally did it! Great idea to have this thread instead of bickering over Rogers on the COMS thread!

So I am going to have the honor of posting the first non-craig post on this thread!

In the tradition of David letterman's top 10, here are the top brilliant investment ideas/statements made by Jimmy Rogers the famous Bike Rider of the 20th century:

Top statements made by Rogers:

4. Invest In ZINK! (January 1997)

3. February through November of 1997 on CNBC's SquawkBox show as well as CNBC's strictly business show: "Short US bonds!"...you will never see 30 year yeild at 6% in my life time!"

2. September-November 1997 on CNBC's SquawkBox show commenting on low unemployment and low inflation figures: "...These numbers are all made up by politicians! US goivernment is a big liar! I would not believe any of the inflation and/or other numbers!"

1. Janauary 2, 1998 on CNBC's strictly business show: "...The best single investment idea of 1998 is to buy North Korean stamps and coin!"

Top investment ideas made by Rogers:

4. 1995-1996: Short Intel and all US high tech companies.

3. 1996: Take your money and invest in anywhere the word democracy is synonymous to death by torture! Note: Rogers did not state this in the exact words however in an article in Worth magazine (see one of craig's links provided in earlier posts) you can read and make your own conclusions!

2. 1995: Invest in Iran (this was at the time Rial - the Iranian currency - was about 200% higher to its current value!

1. 1988 (in Barrons round table discussion): US stock market is doomed to decline dramatically in the coming years!

Now if we can have craig list the Rogers Holdings it will be great!!

Regards,

Addi Jamshidi

P.S1 - For all those not familiar to Rogers and his groupies: Be careful what you say about Rogers! His followers believe in him like a "god" and thus you may experience a lot of unneccessary hostility from these fanatics!

P.S2: Above Rogers' statements/investment ideas are just a very small sample of his brilliant brain!!!!!!!!
