Legendary investor & Fund Manger Jim Rogers joined the SilverTrade Insider for a MUST WATCH episode on what’s coming for gold and silver.
The man whose Quantum Fund achieved an astonishing 4,200% returns during the last precious metals bull market- a period in which the S&P returned 47% – weighs in on what gold & silver investors should do RIGHT NOW after the first half’s brutal sell-off in precious metals:
Rogers REPEATEDLY shared his conviction that gold and silver remain essential long-term holdings for wealth preservation.
He emphasized physical ownership, generational holding, and buying during periods of low sentiment.
Decisions & Agreements
- Rogers holds silver and gold as permanent, non-negotiable positions -his silver is explicitly “NOT FOR SALE,” and intended for his children and grandchildren.
- The Quantum Fund co-founder advocates PHYSICAL POSSESSION over paper – prefers knowing exactly what he has and where it is.
- Believes buying during depressed sentiment is historically sound, noting current negativity in metals may be a buying signal.
Key Investment Views
- Is Silver Still Undervalued?
Rogers declined to call a top or speculate on price; but emphasized that he owns silver and hopes he is smart enough to buy more on dips.
Rogers treats gold and silver as generational wealth, not a trade. - Gold allocation context:
Private gold holdings currently represent only ~2.7% of total global financial assets, vs. 21% at the 1980 peak – implying significant upside potential if historical patterns repeat.
- Money printing as the core risk: Governments globally have learned to print money freely with minimal accountability; this structurally supports real assets over time.
- Chinese demand: ~1 billion Chinese with a multi-millennial history of valuing real assets represent a significant long-term demand base for gold and silver.
- Monetary system return: Rogers believes gold and silver will re-enter monetary systems in some form: “It is something from the past, therefore it returns.“
Advice for New gold & silver Investors
- Do thorough research before buying – understand what you’re purchasing, where to buy, and how to store it securely.
- Know how to access your holdings during a crisis – that is precisely when it matters most.
- Study history of human behavior during wars and panics – gold and silver have consistently served as protection.
