I’ve got one shot going through this life. I want to make sure I do as much as I can.
Jim Rogers
Lady Luck smiles on those who continue their efforts
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
I cannot invest the way I want the world to be I have to invest the way the world is.

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.

Historically, there has been a bull market in commodities every 20 or 30 years.
Jim Rogers
The price of a commodity will never go to zero. When you invest in commodities futures, you're not buying a piece of paper that says you own an intangible piece of company that can go bankrupt.
Jim Rogers
Beware of all politicians everywhere. They excelled at recess when they were in school but have excelled at little since.
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
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
Without giving specific names, most of the significant American banks, the larger banks, are bankrupt, totally bankrupt.
Jim Rogers
If you want to be lucky, do your homework.
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.
