Heather Bell resume la presentación del inversor Jim Rogers en las conferencias de ETF Securities. Bell explica por qué Rogers cree que Asia, y en particular China, es la economía del futuro.
1. The Chinese want to live like we do;
2. They are more eager to work;
3. They are better at saving;
4. There are 1.5 billion Chinese citizens (and 3 billion people in all of Asia), and we owe them money. They are, according to Rogers, “among the best capitalists in the world.”There will be some setbacks, of course, Rogers says, but these are opportunities. “If you see setbacks in China, you should pick up the phone and get more involved,” he advised, before adding his favorite refrain, “The best advice of any kind that I can give you is to teach your children and grandchildren Chinese.”
En 2007 Rogers vendió su mansión de Nueva York para trasladarse con su familia a Singapur. Su hija de cinco años aprende chino mandarín en la escuela.
Rogers también dedicó duras palabras a Bernanke y a la Reserva Federal en su charla:
No “Team Bernanke” shirts for Jim Rogers (who said to scattered applause during the Q&A session that if he was in charge of the U.S. economy he would “abolish the Fed and resign.”).
Rogers is appalled by the government’s actions—Bernanke’s in particular. The U.S. government’s strategy calls for the debasement of the dollar, he says, calling it a “horrible policy.” While he concedes it can work in the short term, it NEVER works in the mid- or long term.
