Jim Rogers: Ignore your mother; stick with gold

As soon as your mother becomes interested in an investment, it's time to get out, says investment guru Jim Rogers.

Jim Rogers has a reputation for getting the big trends right. He began to short housebuilders and financials in 2006, not long before the credit bubble burst, and has been keen on raw materials ever since they embarked on a long-term upswing at the turn of the century.

The commodities supercycle isn't over yet, he tells Germany's FAZ.net. Raw materials are a good bet, whether the world returns to growth or not. If it does, there will be renewed supply squeezes. If not, central banks will continue to print money, bolstering the appeal of hard assets.
