On the Road with Jim Rogers
In 1990 Jim and his friend Tabitha set out to circle the globe on a pair of BMW motorcycles. Not simply to travel, but to learn about the worlds developing countries and investment markets by actually seeing them from the ground up.
It took twenty-two months, but together they drove 105,000 kilometres on land and travelled thousands more on sea, air, barge and rail links across six continents, setting a world record for land travel on the way. Investment Biker is the story of this amazing trip, and it’s about the world economy and society – who’s sinking and who’s swimming, which countries are on the rise and which are collapsing, where you can make a million and where you could lose one. Every place he stopped in the trip, Rogers talked to businessmen, bankers, investors, and regular people, and learned reams of information that you’d never learn from reading the financial pages or any periodicals.
All in all, it’s quite a ride. Investment Biker not only thrills with its account of the journey of a lifetime but provides the tips that just might allow you to pay for a trip just like it.
