Book Review: Adventure Capitalist (Jim Rogers)
Jim Rogers' Adventure Capitalist must be like the best, highest-ratings reality TV show ever (or whatever that corresponds to!). It took me a few days or more to read this book, but if I hadn’t had to go anywhere or do anything else, including sleep, I really think I would have just kept reading and reading. This was the ultimate reality-TV or live documentary, and probably a very important travel document for historical reasons as well. The title says it all. It’s a classic too, along with his first road-trip book – Investment Biker. So you might already be familiar with the basic idea: Jim and his girlfriend ride around the world in a custom-built BMW in order to check out investment opportunities and basically just have a good time doing so. But this is one book that doesn’t have a nice five-bullet list of take-home points. You really need to read it yourself to hear about some of the crazy details and insights Rogers gets when he travels from place to place. One important point I took away from it is that, for example, Russia (and much of Eastern Europe except Turkey) is still not a great place to invest in. This goes against some current market wisdom. There are certainly funds you can invest in for exposure to this, one of the “BRIC” countries. But from what Jim Rogers has said, I would still wait several years before looking at Russia. If you haven’t been introduced to the Jim Rogers phenomenon yet, this book is the way to go. |
