Jim Rogers: I own gold and I own silver. I own all
the precious metals, especially gold and silver. I'm not sure I would
buy right now. Gold has gone up 12 years in a row, which is extremely
unusual for any asset, at least in my experience. I don't know any asset
that's gone up 12 years without a down year except gold. Gold has had
only one decline over 30 percent in those 12 years. That, too, is
extremely unusual.

Plus, if you look at the open interest from the
CFTC, the speculators have been piling into gold. The number of call
options is more than twice the put options. All the signs are that
there's too much speculation in gold right now.
I'm not selling,
by any stretch. I own it. If it goes down, I'll buy more. If America
bombs Iran, I'll probably buy more going up. But I own it and, over the
longer term, gold is going to go much higher because the world is doing
nothing but printing money. And when the world economies get bad again,
they're going to print even more money. But I'm not buying now.
