Veteran investor Jim Rogers, who co-founded the Quantum Fund with billionaire investor George Soros, has warned that more bear markets are coming and the next one will be “the worst” in his lifetime. Noting that many stocks will go down 90%, he stressed that investors will lose a lot of money.
Jim Rogers Says ‘the Worst’ Bear Market in His Lifetime Is Coming Next
Famed investor Jim Rogers warned about an incoming bear market that will be “the worst” in his lifetime in an interview with Kitco News, published last week. Rogers is George Soros’ former business partner who co-founded the Quantum Fund and Soros Fund Management.
Citing that we are somewhat in a bear market right now, he predicted that the worst has yet to come, warning:
More bear markets are coming … The next one is going to be the worst in my lifetime.
While explaining that in 2008, “we had a problem with too much debt,” he stressed that the debt has skyrocketed since then.
