Drive . . . and grow rich!
The bestselling author of Investment Biker is back from the ultimate road trip: a three-year drive around the world that would ultimately set the Guinness record for the longest continuous car journey. In Adventure Capitalist, legendary investor Jim Rogers, dubbed the Indiana Jones of finance by Time magazine, proves that the best way to profit from the global situation is to see the world mile by mile. While I have never patronized a prostitute, he writes, I know that one can learn more about a country from speaking to the madam of a brothel or a black marketeer than from meeting a foreign minister.
Behind the wheel of a sunburst-yellow, custom-built convertible Mercedes, Rogers and his fiancée, Paige Parker, began their Millennium Adventure on January 1, 1999, from Iceland. They traveled through 116 countries, including many where most have rarely ventured, such as Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Angola, Sudan, Congo, Colombia, and East Timor. They drove through war zones, deserts, jungles, epidemics, and blizzards. They had many narrow escapes.
They camped with nomads and camels in the western Sahara. They ate silkworms, iguanas, snakes, termites, guinea pigs, porcupines, crocodiles, and grasshoppers.
Best of all, they saw the real world from the ground upthe only vantage point from which it can be truly understoodeconomically, politically, and socially.
Here are just a few of the authors conclusions:
" The new commodity bull market has started.
" The twenty-first century will belong to China.
" There is a dramatic shortage of women developing in Asia.
" Pakistan is on the verge of disintegrating.
" India, like many other large nations, will break into several countries.
" The Euro is doomed to fail.
" There are fortunes to be made in Angola.
" Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) are a scam.
" Bolivia is a comer after decades of instability, thanks to gigantic amounts of natural gas.
Adventure Capitalist is the most opinionated, sprawling, adventurous journey youre likely to take within the pages of a bookthe perfect read for armchair adventurers, global investors, car enthusiasts, and anyone interested in seeing the world and understanding it as it really is.

The next bull market is here. It's not in stocks. It's not in bonds. It's in commodities -- and some smart investors will be riding that bull to record returns in the next decade. Before Jim Rogers hit the road to write his best--selling books Investment Biker and Adventure Capitalist, he was one of the world's most successful investors. He co--founded the Quantum Fund and made so much money that he never needed to work again. Yet despite his success, Rogers has never written a book of practical investment advice -- until now. In Hot Commodities, Rogers offers the low--down on the most lucrative markets for today and tomorrow. In late 1998, gliding under the radar, a bull market in commodities began. Rogers thinks it's going to continue for at least fifteen years -- and he's put his money where his mouth is: In 1998, he started his own commodities index fund. It's up 165% since then, with more than $200 million invested, and it's the single--best performing index fund in the world in any asset class. Less risky than stocks and less sluggish than bonds, commodities are where the money is -- and will be in the years ahead. Rogers's strategies are simple and straightforward. You can start small -- a few thousand dollars will suffice. It's all about putting your money into stuff you understand, the basic materials of everyday life, like copper, sugar, cotton, corn, or crude oil. Once you recognize the cyclical and historical trading patterns outlined here, you'll be on your way. In language that is both colourful and accessible, Rogers explains why the world of commodity investing can be one of the simplest of all -- and how commodities are the bases by which investors can value companies, markets, and whole economies. To be a truly great investor is to know something about commodities. For small investors and high rollers alike, Hot Commodities is as good as gold ...or lead, or aluminium, which are some of the commodities Rogers says could be as rewarding for investors. [via]
