Jim Rogers: ‘I Hope We All Survive 2013’

“We’ve had very difficult times. We’re going to continue to have difficult times. You better makes sure you know what you’re doing.”

-Jim Rogers, in a December 23 Kitco News interview

Well-known investor Jim Rogers spoke to Daniela Cambone of Kitco News back on December 23 about his investment outlook for 2013. The former partner of George Soros in the Quantum Fund discussed gold and currencies, among other things.

When Cambone asked Rogers if he was buying gold now, Rogers replied:

No, I am not buying gold. I am not selling gold. I am sitting and watching it.

The Singapore-based investor added that while he does own some U.S. dollars, he owns more Swiss Francs than any other currency these days.

While wrapping up the interview, Jim Rogers told viewers:

I hope we all survive 2013.

That comment reminds me of something I blogged back on October 18:

Famous investor Jim Rogers appeared on the Yahoo! Finance show Breakout yesterday, and warned viewers of the following:

It’s going to get worse next year. 2013, 2014, you should be very worried and you should prepare yourself.

Yikes! I don’t think I’ve ever heard the Singapore-based investor ever mutter anything like “prepare yourself” before.

And I’ve been following him religiously for some years now.
