Jim Rogers Urges People to Sell U.S. Dollar Holdings November 18, 2007 9:44 PM by Justin Ptak (Archive) Nov. 15 (Bloomberg) -- Investor Jim Rogers urged people to get out of the dollar and says he expects to be rid of all his U.S. currency assets by summer next year. "If you have dollars, I urge you to get out,'' Rogers said in an interview from Singapore. He is chairman of New York-based Rogers Holdings, formerly known as Beeland Interests Inc. "That's not a currency to own.'' ... Rogers, who predicted the start of the global commodities rally in 1999, criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke for comments on the currency before a congressional committee on Nov. 8. "He is a total fool,'' Rogers said. "He said Americans who buy only American goods are not affected if the value of the U.S. dollar goes down. I was terrified.'' Bernanke said the only effect of a weaker dollar on a typical American with their wealth in dollars, buying consumer goods in dollars, would be "their buying powers, it makes imported goods more expensive.'' Rogers said that's not right. "If you only buy American products and the dollar goes down, the price of oil goes up, copper goes up, wheat goes up,'' he said. "That affects you. He doesn't understand the economy as far as I can see.'' blog.mises.org

Vi I am done with those specialty ETFs. After I have watched various leveraged ETFs (regardless whether bull or bear), like SKF, UYG, FAZ, FAS, FXP, DIG, DUG either hit the skids or have a serious grind i think that all those are designed to skim money from its holders and distribute to issuers ... in that regard UNG was not different. The oil etf (DXO) has already been liquidated. (see Message 25826466 Message 25372980 finance.yahoo.com )
