I haven't met a rich technician
Jim Rogers
I’ve got one shot going through this life. I want to make sure I do as much as I can.

Jim Rogers
I just wait until there is money lying in the corner, and all I have to do is go over there and pick it up. I do nothing in the meantime.
Jim Rogers
The Federal Reserve was not founded to bail out Bear Stearns or a few hedge funds. It was founded to keep a stable currency and maintain its value.
Jim Rogers
The first loss is the best loss.
Jim Rogers
If you want to be lucky, do your homework.
Jim Rogers
I learned very early in my investing careers: I better not invest in what I want. I better invest in what's happening in the world. Otherwise I'll be broke - dead broke.
Jim Rogers
Most successful investors, in fact, do nothing most of the time.
Jim Rogers
It's a lot of fun finding a country that nobody knows about. The only thing better is finding a country everybody's bullish on and shorting it.
Jim Rogers
When things go wrong on a macroeconomic level, it's almost always this way. People find someone to blame, whether it's blacks, whites, Christians, Jews, Muslims-whoever.
