50-50% chance listening to him. He is not correct on some emerging market forecasts. Anyway does no harm listening to him provided in the end one uses ones own judgement before investing

nyt500, people can't make money listening to Jim Rogers because most people now think long term is 3 months. He himself says that he's the "worst the world" in timing the market.

The best buy is a liquor store. "May not have enough for the rent, but I got enough for a bottle."

Jim Rogers is the foremost investor of our time. Since following his insight of over 10 years ago on CNBC, I had changed my outlook and escalated my funds exponentially. I recommend Jim's books and advice to everyone. Chez

Where are all the customer's yachts? JIm Rogers is a brilliant investor, but be careful of the headlines you read today. The Dow Jones AIG commodities index returned only 8.97% over the ten years ending 12/31/08. Select mutual funds returned much higher. True the RICI index (Roger's creation) had a much higher return, but you couldn't invest in it over that time period, and for the time you could, you would have been involved in a lawsuit with the broker. Happy returns!
