"The Daily Trading Coach will answer all your trading needs by identifying the everyday challenges which traders face" (CEO Middle East, April 2009)
Product Description
Profiting from China without getting burned is currently an obsession with the international investment community. The estimated size of the Chinese economy has just been revised upwards, making it the 4th largest in the world behind the US, Japan and Germany, and ahead of the UK but the idea that investing in China is a sure–fire, get–rich–quick investment story is dangerously misleading.
∗ The author of the bestselling Investment Biker, Adventure Capitalist, and Hot Commodities, is providing a book that provides a window into what will soon be the most vital, most lucrative market of our time: China.
∗ While the Chinese economy has had an annual average growth of 9.4 percent since 1978, and despite the ongoing speculation about China′s future, its stock market is now emerging from a six–year low.
∗ As the Chinese economy continues to lumber toward a free market system – and as the Chinese government inevitably unpegs its currency and opens its stock market to more foreign investment, Rogers foresees an abundance of opportunities for investors.
∗ In this book, he shows readers not only how to take advantage of
China′s coming dominance – what, where, how, and when to buy – but how China will impact individual companies, markets, and economies around the world.
∗ "Nobody with blue eyes has ever made money investing in China," the old saying goes.
Jim Rogers aims to disprove this adage.
Jim Rogers co–founded the Quantum Fund and retired at age 37. Since then, he has served as a sometime professor of finance at Columbia University′s business school, and as a media commentator. He appears twice a week on Fox Business News, and is the author of three immensely successful books.

This is a most illuminating book. I have had a hunch that I should be investing in China, but have held back bacause almost all UK financial advisors have advised against.
This book has changed my view. It also povides advice (kind of) by providing stock codes for HK and Chinese stock markets of selected companies. Being a born sceptic, I have created a dummy portfolio on Yahoo to track some of Jim's recommenndations. So far they have performed well. The only problem it does have an opinion on the new China bonds such as the Bolton funds being msarketed by Fidelity. The book was published before the fund was set up. It has become fashionable to invest in China, I hop I haven't missed the boat!

Jim Rogers, after all his books and after reassuring his readers that china is the future & the next super power; now dedicates a whole book to it. He goes swiftly among every area of the economy in China and includes a small list of companies for every chapter/area of the economy. From oil to cellphones, revising history every step of the way.
He has done a brilliant job in this book. Eye-opening and refreshing.

Rather like the Bay City Rollers, Jim Rogers was apparently very big in the 1970s. Just as I would be very cautious on taking Gordon Clark's advice on how to make a hit record in the 21st Century I would very much caution anybody taking Jim Rogers' advice on investing in China.
Firstly, this is in no way a professional book. Rather than some detailed investment analysis on the pros & cons of investing in China, it is closer to a series of populist, `shoot from the hip' statements combined with some pen pictures of various Chinese companies. Given that over the last 20 years the Chinese stock market (in all its various forms) has materially underperformed both the US and the UK a few words of caution about why this might be so, might have been in order.
Additionally, as a professional investor that has been engaged in China for some time I have very mixed feelings about the short and medium term prospects for the country. None of the serious structural reasons behind this are even briefly mentioned, instead personal anecdotes are used.
Secondly, while Jim Rogers is now basking in his newfound fame as an investor, due to his successful call on commodities his track record over the past couple of decades is distinctly patchier. I am old enough to remember such howlers as shorting Intel in 1993 or more recently JPMorgan in February 2009. Is it also a little unfair of me to point out that his research on Shanghai was so insightful and detailed that he was forced to relocate his family a couple months after his arrival due to the pollution?
Before committing any capital to the latest bout of Asian induced euphoria, I would recommend also reading Joe Studwell's `The China Dream' for a realistic counterbalance as well as some reading of David Webb's webb-site internet site.
