Jim Rogers is the best guest that CNBC has ever had, with the possible exception of the late Bill Meehan. He is one of the few regulars who does not speak from a vested interest, no need to sell the public the idea of a bull market.. His criticisms of America and the stock market were always refreshing compared to the non-stop boosterism that emanates from Wall Street. As for his market calls, you are incredibly misguided. Right off the top of my head, I can remember him talking about shorting bonds during the bear market of 1994 (the worst 12 month period for the American bond market in history). Then, right at the bottom in late 1994, he turned bullish. With a large, leveraged long position, he rode the massive bond rally through 1995 and 1996. It is likely that he made more money on this one trade than you have ever seen in your life. Tom
