Paper money is made of cotton, and I'm long cotton, by the way. One reason I'm long cotton is because Dr. Bernanke is out there running the printing presses as fast as he can.
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.

Diversification is something that stock brokers came up with to protect themselves, so they wouldn't get sued for making bad investment choices for clients. Henry Ford never diversified, Bill Gates didn't diversify. The way to get rich is to put your eggs in one basket, but watch that basket very carefully. And make sure you have the right basket.
Jim Rogers
You will never get anywhere if you do not do your homework.

If anybody laughs at your idea, view it as a sign of potential success!

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.

Unfortunately politicians are not very sound people or they wouldn't be politicians.

Without giving specific names, most of the significant American banks, the larger banks, are bankrupt, totally bankrupt.
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.
Jim Rogers
Debasing your currency sometimes works in the short term, it has never worked in the long term and does not even usually work in the medium term. Lots of politicians like to do it because it is an easy way.
Jim Rogers
The first loss is the best loss.
Jim Rogers
If everyone thinks one way, it is likely to be wrong. If you can figure out that it is wrong, you are likely to make a lot of money.
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
You can no longer buy commodities at Merrill Lynch. My guess is many analysts and even executives are too young to know how profitable a hot commodities market can be. They will soon.
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
If you want to be lucky, do your homework.
Jim Rogers
Historically, there has been a bull market in commodities every 20 or 30 years.

I cannot invest the way I want the world to be I have to invest the way the world is.
