“America has gone the longest in our history without a recession. History would say we’re getting closer to a problem,” warns legendary investor Jim Rogers, chairman of Beeland Interests and co-founder of the Quantum Fund and Soros Fund Management. Speaking with Daniela Cambone, Rogers highlights the mounting U.S. debt as a path to financial danger, predicting that “the next bear market has to be very serious… and printing money is not going to solve the problem.” He warns that persistent banking sector issues could trigger a domino effect across currency, investment, bond, and stock markets, calling it potentially “the worst in my lifetime because the debt is so much higher compared to 2008.”
