Investment Biker – Jim Rogers
Jim Rogers made his fortune as a cofounder of the Quantum Fund with George Soros and retired from active money management at a young age. But he wanted to see the world, and to understand its economies firsthand. So he set out on a remarkable journey: a motorcycle trip around the world, across six continents.
In Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers, he tells the story of that adventure. Traveling with his companion, Tabitha Estabrook, Rogers rode through dozens of countries, from Ireland and Europe across the newly opened lands of the former Soviet Union and China, then through Africa, South America, Australia and beyond, covering a vast distance over many months.
Along the way, Rogers combines vivid travel writing with sharp observations about the countries he visits. As an investor, he looks for signs of economic opportunity and trouble: black markets, currency controls, bureaucracy, corruption, infrastructure, entrepreneurship and political change. He shares his often contrarian opinions on which countries he believes are poised to prosper, which are heading for decline and why, and offers insights into his investment philosophy.
The book captures a world in rapid transformation in the early 1990s, after the end of the Cold War, and provides an unusual perspective that blends adventure with economics.
Entertaining and thought-provoking, Investment Biker will appeal to readers interested in travel, global economics and investing. Readers should note that it reflects the world and the author’s views at the time, and it is not investment advice.
