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.
Jim Rogers
I cannot invest the way I want the world to be I have to invest the way the world is.
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
Most successful investors, in fact, do nothing most of the time.

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.

Lady Luck smiles on those who continue their efforts

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
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
I was poor once, I didn't like it, I don't want to be poor again.
Jim Rogers
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
If anybody laughs at your idea, view it as a sign of potential success!

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.
