Summary: Fantastic International Perspective, Adventure, and Tutorial
Comment: Jim Rogers does an excellent job of describing his bike tour
around the world. This book brings home some of the issues
that have plagued mankind for centuries and how man has never been able to learn from past mistakes. Knowing this
as Jim points out makes for excellent investment opportunities abroad. After reading the book, one becomes
familiar with the geopgraphical, cultural, and economic
climate of the areas Jim has visited. Some of the adventures
that Jim describes, such as the face-off with the Frenchman
in Zaire, and the battle on the border in Argentina, sound
kind of suspect. All in all this book is highly recommended.
Rating: 5
Summary: Travelling economics
Comment: If you made money like Jim Rogers and then step out of it all to travel the world and share this experience with your readers, all we can say is then buy the book and read about tomorrows winners in the stock-market
Rating: 1
Summary: Driving whilst looking in the rear view mirror...
Comment: ...assures you of one thing: eventually driving into a tree.
This is what Rogers' observations remind me of.
It has been a while since I picked up Jim Rogers' diatribe on markets and countries. I am motivated to write this review after hearing that Rogers is still commenting on markets, and is still as wrong as ever. With the test of time, it is useful to go back and see not only how dim someone can be, but how ironic it is to be a traveller that is obtuse to all around you.
First of all, this book is definitely NOT worth purchasing. Rather, it is best to borrow a copy from someone willing to admit they own it -- as I did. Then, do your friend a favor and discard of the book so that no one else needs to needlessly suffer the pain.
Second, there are many better books to read out there if you enjoy the pain of pouring over words written by someone who is entirely in love with himself.
Third, if you like "biker" books, read Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motor Cycle Maintenance," which is a much better read about a traveller confronting not only his own ghosts but reacting to his environment.
Fourth, if you want to read about investing, you would not harm yourself by reading Grantham & Dodd, Buffet or Marc Faber.
Lastly, if you are still determined to spend your hard-earned cash, donate it to charity.
