This is the fascinating story of his 1990 investing trip around the world by motorcycle, with many tidbits of hard-headed advice for investing in foreign markets. Product Description: Legendary investor Jim Rogers gives us his view of the world on a twenty-two-month, fifty-two-country motorcycle odyssey in his bestselling business/adventure book, Investment Biker, which has already sold more than 200,000 copies. Before you invest another dollar anywhere in the world (including the United States), read this book by the man Time magazine calls “the Indiana Jones of finance.” Jim Rogers became a Wall Street legend when he co-founded the Quantum Fund. Investment Biker is the fascinating story of Rogers’s global motorcycle journey/investing trip, with hardheaded advice on the current state and future direction of international economies that will guide and inspire investors interested in foreign markets. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Wunderkind on WheelsJim Rogers took this trip and wrote this book in the very early 1990's, so you don't want to read it for specific investment advice. Rogers is not really a travel guy either nor is he a particularly good writer, so don't look here for travel guidance or entertainment. What useful travel information can a rich dude with a pocketful of platinum credit cards share with an ordinary Joe on a budget? No, what you want to remember here is that this is the guy who with George Soros in 1970 established ... Read More Rating:  - Great BookI read this book over 2 weeks riding the train to work. It was a great read I really enjoyed it. Some of the book has lost its revelance as the book addresses some political issues that occured some time ago. However, the outlook on history was fantastic. In the end he was right. Good book even if you are not a 'finance' reader. Rating: - Interesting Read.While in China for business one of my coworkers recommended this book. The author and a female friend traveled through China, as well as the rest of the world, on two BMW motorcycles. I am a cycle enthusiast so I wanted to see about their trip. The author is a self made millionaire and very stuck on himself, his opinions and his life. Why his female friend stayed with him I have no idea. But he does do a good job of descrbing the countries, the people and the conditions within which they survive. ...

After traveling around and seeing all these countries, it is hard to see how another human being could have acquired the scope of knowledge that Rogers now possesses...so his wisdom counts! Major lesson from this book include: 1)the major focus ... Read More Rating: - Great travel yarn as the Iron Curtain was coming downI really enjoyed this book. He made some really great predictions, and was off the mark on others. The dollar being devalued is happening now, but there were no wars in Central Europe, except Yugoslavia. Very insightful travel book, ala Iberia from James Michener though not as academic. Easy, exciting read.
