Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
In 1990, Rogers set out with his girlfriend on a marathon global tour, chasing the summer and the prevailing economic climate across six continents and reporting home in his easily adopted role of Investment Biker. The result, even after all these years, is a gloriously entertaining flight of reality. Part travelogue, part investment guide, Rogers himself is the real centrepiece, at times railing (if that's the right word) against local custom/ideology/policy, on other occasions providing eye-opening investment tips on where the sensible money should be going. Shunning the usual tourist routes, Rogers' odyssey takes him through landscapes and economies unique in culture and currency where his natural charisma shines through in easy-going commentary. It's not all image though; Rogers' predictions on emerging markets have proved by and large to be unerringly accurate.
Whatever you want from a book, Investment Biker can probably supply it: thrills, spills, rampaging elephants and economic theory. Dig out those leathers and enjoy the ride. --Jake Bond

I didn't want the book to finish ...,

This review is from: Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers (Paperback)
An excellent read. I found it a little difficult to get into for the first few pages but after that I found myself almost rationing myself to a single chapter or two at a time so as to prolong the enjoyment and ensure I got full value from Jim's observations.JR actually published the book in 1994 but the economic truths he tells are every bit as relevant today. He also makes some startling predictions too, several of which in the intervening period, are already taking shape __ I won't spoil JR's thunder by revealing them here but I can assure you that you will never think of national borders in the same away again. I immediately ordered JR's follow-up volume on the basis on Investment Biker. Enjoy!

Bryson meets Motley Fool in fast-paced investment travelogue,
By A Customer
This review is from: Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers (Paperback)
Ever wondered what happened to the Charlie Sheen character at the end of Wall Street... if art ever imitated life you can't help wondering if this is where the story takes you. Rogers tours the world by motorbike with his girlfriend, providing a mix of travelogue and investment tips along the way. A fun and simple read, the initial chapters are more detailed than the latter. Towards the end you question whether Rogers wants to stop writing and keep riding, or perhaps is a little keen to finish his memoirs once back home. Nevertheless, it's great fun... but it isn't a new book, so don't expect any great ideas as to which markets to invest in.

Strongly recommend reading this before, and in conjunction with, adventure capitalist. Rogers views are well thought out and developed - whilst he doesn't always call it right, many of the predictions he makes in this book about the development of the world have been born out. More than that, he gives an insight into how to think about investing on a macro basis, how economies should best be run and geopolitics.
