Topic: Jimmy Rogers

[charlesoakwood]

Jimmy Rogers retired at the age of 34 in 1980.   He now lives in Singapore and operates the "Rogers International Commodity Index".  He also toured the world on motorcycle then writing "The Investment Biker" and after his marriage to Paige they toured the world in a custom Mercedes and he wrote "Adventure Capitalist".

We did it! We made it! We arrived back in New York, our starting point, on 5 January 2002,
just 1101 days since we departed on our round-the-world, Guinness World Record journey
-- Paige’s first World Record, Jim’s third Guinness World Record. Passing through 116 countries,
we covered more than 245,000 kilometers during our travels, which began in Iceland way back
on 1-1-1999.

On Glenn Beck today he said, "We are the largest debtor nation in the world and no nation has ever gotten out of this mess without a crisis or a semi-crisis."

He has very interesting things to say about what is going to happen and how to prepare.  He will be on the tube tonight.

Raffles, haven't been there in 30 years, I bet it still looks the same!

"Gresham’s law says that bad money tends to drive out good money. Well, whether we like it or not, whether we want to believe it or not, the U.S. dollar has become bad money." - Jimmy Rogers

Yeah, he has an interesting bio. I should have titled this topic differently, he has some interesting thoughts that are a good fit with topics here at IAL.
