Jim Rogers

American investor and financial commentator, Jim Rogers was co-founder of the Quantum Fund with well known investor George Soros. Although he doesn’t necessarily believe in any one school of thought, his views closely resemble those of Austrian economics. Favoring global investment, Rogers recommends looking at Asian nations like Singapore. He was quoted as saying: “If you were smart in 1807 you moved to London, if you were smart in 1907 you moved to New York City, and if you are smart in 2007 you move to Asia.” Rogers did just that in 2007, selling his house in New York and moving to Singapore. |
