Jim Rogers Was Right In Predicting Temporary Dollar Rise

In April this year, famed investor/commodity guru Jim Rogers accurately predicted that the U.S. Dollar would rise temporarily. Now, however, he is predicting that the greenback will be devalued as policymakers seek to weaken it to artificially make the U.S. more competitive. He says that the Dollar is "going to lose its status as the world's reserve currency,'' he told Bloomberg yesterday. "It will be devalued and it will go down a lot. These guys in Washington, they want to debase the currency.'' Rogers has a good track record with his predictions, and he puts his money where his mouth is.
