Jim Rogers is contrasting stocks and commodities as investments. He argues that while stock prices can potentially fall all the way to zero if a company goes bankrupt, commodities like metals, grains and livestock will likely always have some value to someone. Even if demand declines for a particular commodity, it typically won’t lose its entire worth.

Rogers is pointing out that commodities are tangible assets representing real, physical goods, whereas stocks represent ownership in a company that could fail. Therefore, commodities may be less risky investments than stocks since they are unlikely to become completely worthless in the way that shares of a bankrupt company would.
