Time To Buy Airlines!

One of my favorite investors and long-time commodities bull, Jim Rogers, gave an interview to Bloomberg this week, and his story's largely unchanged... Jim is still short all investment banks through an ETF. He's specifically short Citibank and Fannie Mae.

Rogers also announced he purchased airlines. His reason... "Everybody's very bearish." He said flights are full, fares are increasing, and if you ordered a new plane today, you couldn't get it for several years due to problems at manufacturers. Also, 24 airlines have declared bankruptcy and "bankruptcies are signs of bottoms, not signs of tops."

There you have it - it's time to short Fannie Mae and buy airline stocks
