Bonnie Bear, Don't care too much for Jimmy Roger's take on the market either. Have always felt he was too much of the smart-ass perma-contrarian to be taken seriously. However, if I'm not mistaken I thought I once heard on WSW that he made $14M in commodities back in the '70s. If this is true, he may not be Soros-rich but they'll never have to pass the hat around for him. Sure don't think he needs a "day job".

Bonny Bear - <<< George Soros got rich and famous. Jimmy Rogers, on the other hand, got a day job at CNBC. He's consistently wrong on everything, so just do the opposite of anything he says. >>> Would like to disagree with your assessment. Soros and Andrew Grove have more in common in their background and therefore their success. Both are Holocaust survivors from Hungary, who were able in time to escape and finally settle in the US. Obsest with fear and insecurity but a strong desire to succeed and trained by own experience at an early age to take life threatening risk, made them ultimately so successfull. those are my 2 cents So please do not put Jimmy Rogers down, he is sincere and outspoken and not as the many other MISLEADING SNAKE OIL SELLERS appearing on CNBC and other WS related events. BTW Soros invested in Geotek "GOTK" just check out that chart!! Yes he did not loose money there but still ---- from $16 to 5/16 Oh well nobody is perfect <gggg> BWDIK Haim

bonnie: <<Jimmy Rogers, on the other hand, got a day job at CNBC. He's consistently wrong on everything, so just do the opposite of anything he says. -g->> Actually, Jimmy Rogers is ususlly right. It just takes a while for it to happen. Over a year ago when Asia was flying high, he vehemently stated that he was shorting the currencies and stocks over there. Everyone called him absolutely nuts. I am sure that last fall he was smiling all the way to the bank. Now he is getting into oil...again, it may not happen now, but it will. The guy didn't get rich by being wrong too often. Paulo
