Jim Rogers is a legendary inventor who co-founded the Quantum fund in 1973 which gained 4200% in the 1970s when the S&P only increased by 47%. This was one of the first funds to have a truly international portfolio. Jim Rogers predicted many of the great stock market collapses of the past 50 years including in 1987, 2001 and 2008. He is known for investing in unconventional stocks and focusing on assets like commodities which other investors have neglected. He also founded the Rogers International Commodity Index in 1998. Aside from investing, Jim Rogers has travelled the globe by motorbike and car and written numerous books on his experiences including ‘The Investment Biker’ and ‘Adventure Capitalist’. He is very bullish on the Chinese economy and bearish on America. So much so that he has moved from New York to Asia.
