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.

I haven't met a rich technician
Jim Rogers
Never act upon wishful thinking. Act without checking the facts, and chances are that you will be swept away along with the mob.
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 don't think there is a sound UK bank now, at least, if there is one I don't know about it. The City of London is finished, the financial centre of the world is moving east. All the money is in Asia. Why would it go back to the West? You don't need London.
Jim Rogers
Not one country in existence today has had the same borders and government for as long as two hundred years. The world will continue changing.
Jim Rogers
Right now I own shares of companies in 28 countries.
