Jim Rogers: Gold Going Much Higher

Commodities investing expert Jim Rogers continues his mantra on being a bull for most commodities for the next decade or so, and he reiterates that position with gold, which he says will continue to be considered a safe haven again inflation from the weakening of paper currencies.

With faith in fiat currencies continuing to weaken, gold has reached record levels against a number of currencies, including the euro, US dollar, Swiss franc and British pound.

In a recent interview with Reuters, Rogers said this about his outlook for gold: "I certainly expect gold to go much higher over the next few years. Paper money is going to be debased and the price of real assets will be enhanced."

Rogers doesn't just believe this about gold, but many of the other raw materials as well.

Along with a growing number of analysts and economists, Rogers knows the extraordinary and unprecedented level of debt being incurred by nations will be devastating to currencies and result in strong inflation.

Once the overall market begins to understand how large the credit expansion has been, we could see commodity and gold prices surge beyond levels some that are optimistic even think they will.
