De investeerder Jim Rogers spoorde mensen aan om uit de dollar te krijgen en zegt hij om van al zijn V.S. denkt worden bevrijd. munt activa door de zomer volgend jaar.

“ Als u dollars hebt, spoor ik u aan om weg te gaan,“ Rogers bovengenoemd in een gesprek van Singapore. Hij is voorzitter van Nieuwe in York-Gebaseerde Holdings Rogers, die vroeger als Inc. van Belangen wordt bekend Beeland. “ Dat is geen te bezitten munt.“

The dollar fell 9.5 percent this year against a basket of six major currencies as a housing slump slowed the economy and losses stemming from subprime mortgage defaults spread among U.S. banks. Rogers, who said last month he was shifting out of all his dollar assets, plans to buy commodities, Japan’s yen, the Chinese yuan and the Swiss franc.

Interest rate futures traded on the Chicago Board of Trade show a 72 percent chance that the central bank will lower its target rate for overnight loans between banks to 4.25 percent on Dec. 11, its third reduction this year.

Rogers, who predicted the start of the global commodities rally in 1999, criticized Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke for comments on the currency before a congressional committee on Nov. 8.

”He is a total fool,” Rogers said. ”He said Americans who buy only American goods are not affected if the value of the U.S. dollar goes down. I was terrified.”

Bernanke said the only effect of a weaker dollar on a typical American with their wealth in dollars, buying consumer goods in dollars, would be ”their buying powers, it makes imported goods more expensive.”

Rogers said that’s not right.

”If you only buy American products and the dollar goes down, the price of oil goes up, copper goes up, wheat goes up,” he said. ”That affects you. He doesn’t understand the economy as far as I can see.”
