When I first picked up this book I said to myself, as many of you probably did, "Why is there a picture of a guy sitting on a motorcycle on the front cover of this book in the finance section of the bookstore?" I picked it up and read the title "Investment Biker Around the World with Jim Rogers" and I remember thinking, "Who is Jim Rogers?"
It just so happened to turn out that Jim Rogers was the co-founder of the Quantum Fund, something I had heard of once before. I was in the mood to read anything finance related at the time and I'm glad I did.
This book is not just your typical investment strategy book as I had presumed it would be. Jim Rogers travels the entire world by motorcycle, each chapter is a new place he is heading toward, and every chapter gives the reader a lot of insight as to what type of developing nations he considered good investments at the time for Jim Rogers. Yes, he actually invests money into developing nations while riding around the world on his motorcycle. Not only will you get to learn from one of the greatest investors of all-time but you will also get a history lesson of the world and hear the tale of his difficulties traveling the world on a motorcycle.
You will get to vicariously experience the difficulties in traveling through nations in civil war, meet the border agents he had to practically bribe to get through, and travel with him across some of the most un-drivable terrain with few to none gas stations and people.
I recommend this book to anyone seeking a fun packed adventure or an investor seeking to invest in a developing nation.
