Natural Resource Stocks, Released on 11/26/25

Legendary investor and author Jim Rogers joins Natural Resource Stocks host Steve Yang from Singapore to talk about why he still owns gold and silver and why he believes gigantic debt loads almost always end in crisis. Rogers explains why gold over 4100 and silver over 51 are not the real story and why he thinks most people still have far too little exposure to hard assets. In this conversation Jim lays out why he calls the United States the largest debtor nation in history and why he expects serious trouble ahead as inflation bites and debt keeps growing. He walks through how ordinary investors can protect themselves with gold, silver, real assets and even farmland rather than trying to trade every market move. Steve also asks Jim about his book A Gift To My Children and the life lessons he wants to pass on to young people who feel lost. Jim shares why the most important decision is to figure out what you truly love and pursue it regardless of what teachers, friends or the crowd tells you, and why being boring is often the real edge in investing and in life. Later in the interview Jim explains why he created the Rogers International Commodity Index and why understanding commodity prices still matters for anyone who wants to navigate the real economy. From gold and silver as disaster insurance to farmland as a timeless asset, this is Jim Rogers at his clearest and most direct.
