GWTW,
Rogers has repeatedly said, over the last year or so, e.g., on Radio.goldseek.com and Bloomberg.com, that there will be "no new mines" (of any sort) for the next fifteen years.
Bob Hoye, on Howestreet.com, has said, "he [Jim Rogers] has never been right".
My feeling is that he must have done something right down the road, after all, he is a billionaire. So maybe you don't have to be right too often.
Cheers,
B.
