Fenton Gets Rogers’ Latest View on China, the Mid East,
and the US Economic Meltdown

NEW YORK, NY May 17, 2007 — Investor Jim Rogers reveals bold opinions to strategist Bruce Fenton in an interview posted today on The Fenton Report (www.fentonreport.com) and YouTube.

“There is a staggering misconception about China about Japan, about Europe, about everywhere. Most Americans can’t even find Japan on a map…They can’t even find Oklahoma on a map,” says Rogers. “If the middle of Africa blew up we wouldn’t know about it for two or three weeks…the rest of the world might, but we wouldn’t,” says Rogers.

Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros, is an active investor and traveler. Trips totaling over 250,000 miles and 116 countries are chronicled in Rogers’s books Investment Biker and Adventure Capitalist.

“If travel makes one smarter, Jim Rogers may be the smartest person on earth. His insights and his uncanny track record make Rogers very worth listening to,” says Fenton, founder of Atlantic Financial, (www.atlanticfinancial.com), a global-focused wealth management company.

“Dubai is doing their best to become a center for the Middle East: for shopping, for finance, for technology, for everything else. As you know they have the best horse race in the world and the best golf tournament in the world and the best everything in the world,” says Rogers. “I have no idea if all these massive investments are going to pay off in the end. You might be a better judge of that since you’ve been there more recently. If it works, then clearly it will be great.”

Rogers’s latest book is, Hot Commodities “Before you get to work you use sugar, coffee, orange juice, rice, wheat, corn, rubber if you go running, wool, cotton silk, zinc, lead, gasoline. We know what this stuff is. It’s a lot easier to analyze commodities than it is stocks,” says Rogers.

“I’m afraid we’ll go the way of Great Britain, in 1918 they were the richest most powerful country in the world; their currency was the major world’s currency at the time…We’re sort of there too…over extended in every way and unfortunately I don’t see anything that’s going to change…you’ve already pointed out some of our shortcomings and that’s going to get worse, not better,” says Rogers. “Learn Chinese and start investing in commodities. Urge your clients to get their money out of the US Dollar.”
