I do own Gold and Silver and have never sold any, atleast not the physical precious metals, I've certainly sold in the futures market. My plan is that my children should have them someday.
The only problem with that is before this is over Gold and Silver may turn into a gigantic bubble, it may just go sky rocketing. If Gold and Silver turns into a bubble, I may have to sell.

Agriculture and Russian Government Bonds attractive relative to Gold
"Agriculture may be better than Gold. Russian government bonds in Rubles maybe more appealing than Gold due to high yields. Everyone hates Russia."

Jim Rogers on George Soros biggest strength
We were both dedicated and passionate about our work. He[Soros] was a great market timer. I do not think you go to school to learn to become a great trader; I think you either have it or you do not.

Jim Rogers invests in Tiger Brokers mobile app
Tiger Brokers allows Chinese investors to buy US stocks. With registered users exceeding 1 million, annual turnover on the Tiger Brokers platform reached US$17.6 billion at the end of 2016, up 30 times from the previous year.
The three-year old Chinese online brokerage has managed to attract the attention of Jim Rogers by becoming the first Chinese financial technology start-up the Jim Rogers has ever put money into.
Tiger Brokers said in March that it had raised 100 million yuan in a series B+ round led by China Growth Capital, but did not disclose how much Rogers agreed to invest.

Asia and China is the place to be
What you think is true today will not be true in 15 years. Pick any year in history, and what everyone believed that year is no longer relevant 15 years later. In an even bigger picture than a 15-year cycle, Asia is rising whether we like it or not.
Asia is where the money, energy, ambition, drive, and the brains are. China currently puts out something like 10 times as many engineers as America does. This may not have an immediate effect, but it will have an effect someday. In 1807, the smart people moved to London. In 1907, the smart people moved to New York. Well in my view, the 21st century is the century of Asia.

It may not be different this time
Everyone is of the view that there is nothing to worry about... Interest rates going up is a big risk. Historically in the US, when the Fed raised interest rates four times, it was the end—the markets and the economy would then go down. Now, there are people who argue that it historically was correct, but it is different now as interest rates are zero; so maybe we can have a couple of interest rate hikes before the end.

When markets go down
The problem is when the markets start going down, it doesn’t matter if they are cheap, or expensive—all of them will go down.

Crude Oil may already have bottomed

Crude is in the process of making a bottom—it is a complicated bottom—we are going to look back in a few years from now and say that in 2015, 2016 and 2017, crude made its bottoming pattern. I will not sell crude now, especially if Trump is going to throw some more bombs around.

History has shown that trade wars will not be good for the world economy

If Mr Trump starts trade wars, the whole world’s going to collapse... I mean that’s it – it’s over. History is very clear about that. If he does the other things – cuts taxes, builds infrastructure, brings the money back to the US, gets rid of regulations – the market will like it and the market will go up for a while. I wouldn’t say more than a few months but it would certainly go up for a while. But if he starts all of those other things that he promised us he would do, you should be very worried.

Safe Haven: US Dollar VS Japanese Yen
There is some money that goes into the yen on the mistaken view that it's a safe haven too. But you know, the Japanese have gigantic debts as well. Their internal debts are, perhaps, higher even than the U.S., so it's not a place to put money. But if you don't believe the U.S. dollar is a safe haven, you might try the yen. I am not, but some people do.

Safety vs Security
Well history shows that people always would like a little more safety and a willing to “give up some things for more safety and security.” Benjamin Franklin said well anybody who would give up some freedoms for security is going to wind up with neither security nor freedom and they deserve to lose both and of course that's the way it is.

What China is doing right now
If Mr. Trump does what he says, Chinese equities certainly are not going to go up.... No equities are going to go up if he does what he says he's going to do. So I'm sitting and watching.
The Chinese are now spending huge amounts of money cleaning up [the environment]. … Healthcare in China's a disaster. They're spending a lot of money to get better and more health care. Parts of the Chinese economy are going to do extremely well no matter what happens to the world.

When its better to do nothing than something
The way of the successful investor is normally to do nothing -- not until you see money lying there, somewhere over in the corner, and all that is left for you to do is go over and pick it up.
