U.S. housing crash has “got a long way to go”, Rogers Says (bloomberg.com)
Friday, August 3rd, 2007Aug. 3 (Bloomberg) — The U.S. subprime-market rout that wiped out $2.1 trillion from global share values last week has “got a long way to go,” said Jim Rogers, a New York-based fund manager who predicted the start of the commodities rally in 1999.
This week’s rebound in equity markets hasn’t persuaded Rogers, 64, to pull out of bets that U.S. investment banks and homebuilders are heading for further declines.
“This was one of the biggest bubbles we’ve ever had in credit,” Rogers, chairman of Beeland Interests Inc., said in an interview from Hong Kong. “I have been and am still short the investment bankers in America. I’m also short homebuilders.”
