Massive government farm subsidies, GMO seeds, Food production enough to feed 20 billion people at any one time. Evidence I got shows the contrary.

Because he is selling something.

(And actually that's usually the reason any time someone says something alarmist that does not really make any sense!)

Jim Rogers is into commodities so he analyzes the trends for instance in the farming or agriculture markets looking at crop yields and prices. I wouldn't bet against Jim Rogers since he's a Billionaire. Evidence can always be contrary. What you should be doing is looking for a way to invest to make money off your evidence or beliefs. good luck and make some money.

Why do people like Jim Rogers think there's a food crisis looming and invest in agriculture?

Jim Rogers is a legendary commodities investor and the chairman of Rogers Holdings. in late 2009, he predicted that the price of gold would increase to $2,300 per ounce within the near future. Though mr. Rogers may love gold, he is not taking any steps to invest in it.

The reason for his lack of action is that gold prices are peaking and anyone making investments at this time will be taking on a big risk. most of the larger investors are taking the opportunity to sell gold now, in order to generate a huge profit. the price of gold is sitting on a market bubble, which can burst at any time, so these investors are getting out while the getting is good.

Most recently, mr. Rogers advised investors to steer clear of the bond market and invest in commodities. He believes that commodities are a safe haven from the volatility in the world economy. He recommended investing in silver rather than gold, based on his mindset of last year that anything rising straight up does not represent an ideal investment. the fact that silver is trading 60 to 70 percent below its peak prices makes it a better investment than gold, which is trading at record highs.

Investors would be wise to adhere to the advice of mr. Rogers because is he well-known for being ahead of the crowd when it comes to investment thinking. He co-founded the Quantum Fund with the iconic George Soros and saw the fund gain over 4,000 percent during a time that the S&P rose not even 50 percent. this Fund is perhaps most well known for earning $1 billion dollars when it bet against the British pound during the early 1990s.

Just because one holds gold already and recognizes its strong potential to increase in price does not mean this precious metal is the favored investment. this is the thinking of commodities investor Jim Rogers and it seems to have served him well so far. Following this line of thought, now is not the time to buy gold coins or make other purchases of the precious metal. Those who have gold holdings may want to start thinking about selling them before the bubble bursts.

What do people in Singapore think about Jim Rogers and his commodities index?

I am a follower of Peter Schiff, Jim Rogers, Marc Faber, and Ron Paul. I don’t really want to argue politics though. they all recommend buying precious metals, commodities, foreign currencies, and investing in foreign markets.

I have about $2000 to invest. I want to put it into some ETFs that reflect their predictions. it is currently invested in IAU (a gold ETF). I am looking into these: GDX, DIG, DBA, and TBT

GDX is a gold mining ETF. DIG is for natural gas and oil. DBA is an agriculture ETF. TBT is an ETF that tracks the inverse of a Treasury Bill index (as bond rates rise, so does the ETF).

What do you guys think? are any of those ETFs bad ideas? have I overlooked some good ones?

Thanks
