Adventure Capitalist: The Ultimate Investor
Posted on 2010-04-10

Financier Rogers retired at 37 and motorcycled around the world, turning the trip into the book Investment Biker, a hybrid of business advice and travelogue. That journey, however, failed to squelch his wanderlust. Instead of enjoying his sedate life teaching finance, Rogers decided to take his fiancée and a souped-up Mercedes on a frighteningly intense road trip: three years, 116 countries and 152,000 miles. . Like the car that plowed through snow, mud, sand and highways on every continent, Rogers& 8217;s memoir of the journey is its own breed. Although Rogers writes, far too briefly, of life-changing events like getting married and hearing of his father& 8217;s death, the book has an uncommon level of detachment. Also, even though Rogers shares investment advice and observations about the planet& 8217;s political economies, his thoughts are too general to serve as business lessons. The result is an adventure tale without heart and a finance book without teeth. . Rogers tries to make up for this by describing experiences like eating fried silkworms and watching prostitutes caught in the world& 8217;s sex trade. Mainly, though, he chronicles prosaic details, like taking car ferries and talking to border guards, and then riffs on politics, money, immigration and culture. . From AudioFile . Jim Rogers and his fiancée (now wife), Paige Parker, drovearound the world in a BMW from January 1999 through December2001. They drove through 116 countries so that Rogers, an investmentanalyst, could understand their economies and investmentpossibilities, particularly in emerging and third-worldcountries. . Slowly and succinctly, Rogers reads about his excitingjourney with a subtle Mississippi accent, sometimes softly slurringwords, other times enunciating them with precision. His firsthandknowledge of places and people adds to the smoothness of hisnarration. Yet he always seems to be reading his story, maintaining adistance from its excitement and adventure. . Since the majority of histrip was before September 11, 2001, and the book was written in 2003,he includes follow-up discussion on how that event impacted hisinvestment decisions. A great adventure, no matter how you look at it.M.B.K. . Download Details: . Part 1 Part 2 Part 3 Part 4 Part 5 Part 6 .
