Didnt Jim used to think that China was going to take over as the the strongest economy in the world? Just wondering if he changed his mind on that?

[@flashfuture27]

Few years back, Jim wanted everyone to go all in on China

[@shauna996]

Yes, I remember an interview with him a few years ago saying China was ascendant and it was going to be the best investment choice for decades.

[@flashfuture27]

@shauna996 I've always respected Jim, but I always felt funny about his views in China. Never thought a centralized command style economy could predict market outcomes.

[@sulavaca]

​@@flashfuture27You're correct. China's central command had destroyed and suppressed the economy for a hundred years, but then they reduced their central command control, at first when they allowed "special economic zones", which were free of many government prohibitions and regulations. This is what Jim saw all those years ago.

I love how everyone wants to know how the people like Jim Rogers got wealthy. If people like Jim Rogers told everyone how they did it and everyone followed their paths, how are people like Jim Rogers going to get rich if everyone is doing what they did? Jim Rogers NEEDS people like us to get rich otherwise no one will get rich.

[@lisizecha9759]

He does, but he is not ready to sell short just yet

[@cstevenson5256]

Why? We don't have industries operating at 30% capacity and a bunch of wasting assets. We don't have empty housing fully price controlled at highest value that is empty and able to house 1.4 to 3 billion people while having the fastest collapsing demography in world. We don't rely on exports to employ our people. We aren't a developing country whose debt profile is as high as an advanced country. We don't have a GDP that doesn't write off bad investments, but collateralized them, increases bad assets by rolling over unpaid interest into next year's loans and have a banking sector whose assets are so bloated. If China wrote off bad investments its economy would shrink 40 to 60% and its assets would disappear. The thing is, you people have told yourselves the wrong story for so long.

[@cstevenson5256]

The biggest

[@cstevenson5256]

@Theactualclips China's GDP accounting us unlike all others around world, which is why they can't open their capital account. Normal accounting, make investment, it fails, you write it off, 1 billion only returns 200 million, the asset is devalued by 800, and the debt is written off, it subtracts from GDP. China doesn't do that. The make long term investments using short term debt, roll unpaid principle into new loan, called regreening, and the capitalize the debt, the supposed asset goes up in value. So, to answer your question, no, not even close under any terms of imagination, so your attempt at conflating using a linguistic structure of "any" to dispose of China's reality of a "very large" portion is a logical fallacy of conflating. Experts have China's economy overstated in RMB by 40 to 60%. Similar to Japan, but much more aggravated back in the 1980s to early 90s. So issue is how correct. Great Depression like US in 1930s, 0% growth to hold asset values and income rising 1% a year like the 3.5 decades of Japan, the lost decades, or perhaps sell of local gov assets, markdown assets and debt, and spend on citizens (politically impossible). You don't need to believe me, look at words of Li Keqiang who tried to get China to reform for last 20 years. I could go on. Steel, operates at mid 30s in capacity. In 2008 we had a crisis and for a year US capacity fell to 78%. China has printed tens of trillions. Their economy is smaller but their banking sector is 325% the size of US. Add total social financing and the debt goes deeper. Why house prices are 29 to 220 times annual income and their assets include housing for 1.5 to 3 billion people, empty, but as if full value. Even their bad banks asset management companies from the 1993 financial.crisis are at full value, never marked down, and the same for 1998, 2003 and more.recent. you want more? Need more because you merely.watch popular sources of information? This is what I do.

[@leelaitiam19]

Jim is sane . He is right in how war is started and people don't know how to get out.

[@fruitloops3718]

Jim seems very down these days. He must have lost a shit ton of money from chinas market crash. He really loves china as he made alot of money on the way up. However china never gives up anything of value. Never invest in china unless you're prepared to loose everything you've invested.

[@tonysu8860]

Japan's economy hasn't been contracting because of financial management only, Japan has been able to counteract the effects of a declining population by being one of the world's leaders in advanced automation and technology. Japan remains hughly productive as the global #4(dropping one spot to India only this past month) econy as measured by GDP.

It's easy to succeed when you have the entire US manufacturing sector literally boxed up and shipped to China for free to employ their massive cheap labor force. Then, give them free shipping and tariff free open access to the US. Now that this gravy train has run dry, seems like they're trying to find people to sell stuff to.

Despite negative comments I see posted, IMO Jim Rogers'discussion appears to be fair. He touches on the umportance of timing investments, the state of the Dollar, economic bubbles and a lot more based on his life experience. Everything can be debatable and open fo discussion but aren't particularly radical.

[@hengbin2974]

Jim Rogers put his own $ into his investments, unlike GIC/TH. JR has been successful. In contrast SGP's govt has to make up its humongous losses by increasing GST & a host of other charges. PSA, a 100% TH sub tried to sell off its stake in PRC ports which PSA Int. bought in 2005/2006 amounting to US$5.5 BILLION, without success for several months recently. Speaks volumes about the incompetence of LHL/HC management of our reserves........meanwhile US & Japanese stock mkts hit record highs........BUT PRC;s indices suffered huge losses.

[@issenvan1050]

How can Japan survive with this level of debt/gdp?

I believe it's because almost all of the debt is owed to its own citizens and not to foreigners.

[@stevenoliver7120]

I can only presume it's a form of MMT which would present the nation's economy as a balance sheet with the private sector (the people) on one side, and the government (owned by the people) on the other side. Entire books have been written on this. I'm not really qualified to explain it.

[@jtrealfunny]

Is the current environment of 'easing while tightening' or fiscal stimulus with restrictive fed rates a new thing? It would seem to explain the above expectation growth numbers and delayed recession. Someone posited that it has been the illegal immigrants who are boosting our economy above expectations; I like that one. If the Fed and Treasury are in the process of inflating us out of our fiscal deficit, what would that look like in terms of magnitude, meaning how long and what levels of inflation would be necessary to accomplish this.

[@tonysu8860]

Any idea excessive liquidity is driving rhe USA econimy rise is tupid and uninformed. The Fed announced over 6 minths ago it had sucked out all the liquidity unjected into the economy due to Pandemic aid. Current performance is entirely the strength of the US and not due to any manipulation or trickery. There is some concern about the debt payments that will become due related to the increase un the National Debt but for know is considered manageable as ling as the current demand for US sovereign debt remains high and hopefully interest rates will decreae soon. But conditions would have to radically change for the current US financial strategy to change significantly.
