Jim Rogers: The US is About to Have a Currency Crisis

If you have the majority of your savings in US dollars, this may be the most important insight you ever hear from Jim Rogers.

In an interview with Bloomberg from this morning, Rogers said:

“We’re going to have a currency crisis, probably this fall or the fall of 2010.  It’s been building up for a long time. We’ve had a huge rally in the dollar, an artificial rally in the dollar, so it’s time for a currency crisis.”

Jim reiterated that the place to be invested is in commodities, particularly agriculture:

"You're going to have serious food shortages in the next 3-5 years - prices are going to go through the roof."
