It’s rare that I get the opportunity to interview somebody who is described as a financial markets guru, a commodities legend, the best selling author of multiple books, and above all else, a true gentleman. But, it is even rarer that I get to do it three times. Luckily for me that is the case when it comes to Jim Rogers, who I spoke to earlier this week. Jim first bought gold in 1971 when it was still illegal for Americans to buy gold. Since then he has been on quite a journey in terms of his portfolio and making calls about where to store his ever-growing wealth. Today he is a fountain of historical knowledge and incredible wisdom, yet remains humble about the fact that even he cannot expect to know how things are going to play out. With echoes of our conversation with Marc Faber, Jim reminds us why we hold gold: We don’t do it to make a quick profit as one might expect to in the stock market, instead we do it so we can invest in the stock market and still sleep at night. We buy gold for insurance, for peace of mind. I always enjoy my chats with Jim, but I think this might be favourite one so far. Let me know what you think.
Jim Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros in 1973, helping to steer the fund to a 4200% return before “retiring” at age 37. He is considered to be one of the greatest investors of all time. Rogers has made two record-setting journeys – once by motorcycle and once by car – and is in the Guinness Book of World Records for doing so. In between his frequent travels, he has served as a professor at Columbia University, started his own commodity index and is a frequent media commentator worldwide. Rogers has also authored six books. He currently lives in Singapore with his family. Jim has authored a half dozen books, including: Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers (NYTimes Bestseller)
