Jim Rogers 
A Bull in China 
Investing Profitably in the World’s Greatest Market

Profiting from China without getting burned is currently an
obsession with the international investment community. The
estimated size of the Chinese economy has just been revised
upwards, making it the 4th largest in the world behind the US,
Japan and Germany, and ahead of the UK but the idea that investing
in China is a sure-fire, get-rich-quick investment story is
dangerously misleading.

* The author of the bestselling Investment Biker, Adventure
Capitalist, and Hot Commodities, is providing a book that provides
a window into what will soon be the most vital, most lucrative
market of our time: China.

* While the Chinese economy has had an annual average growth of 9.4
percent since 1978, and despite the ongoing speculation about
China’s future, its stock market is now emerging from a six-year
low.

* As the Chinese economy continues to lumber toward a free market
system – and as the Chinese government inevitably unpegs its
currency and opens its stock market to more foreign investment,
Rogers foresees an abundance of opportunities for investors.

* In this book, he shows readers not only how to take advantage
of

China’s coming dominance – what, where, how, and when to buy – but
how China will impact individual companies, markets, and economies
around the world.

* ‘Nobody with blue eyes has ever made money investing in China, ‘
the old saying goes.

Jim Rogers aims to disprove this adage.

Jim Rogers co-founded the Quantum Fund and retired at age 37. Since

About The Author.

Over de auteur

Born on October 19, 1942, Jim Rogers had his first job at age five,
picking up bottles at baseball games. After growing up in
Demopolis, Alabama, he won a scholarship to Yale. Upon graduation,
he attended Balliol College at Oxford where he earned his first
Guinness record as coxswain of the crew. After a stint in the army,
he began work on Wall Street. He co-founded the Quantum Fund, a
global investment partnership. During the 1970s, the portfolio
gained 4, 200 percent, while the S&P rose less than 47 percent.
Rogers then decided to retire–at age thirty-seven–but
he did not remain idle.

Continuing to manage his own portfolio, Rogers served as a
professor of finance at the Columbia University Graduate School of
Business and as moderator of The Dreyfus Roundtable on WCBS
and The Profit Motive on FNN. At the same time, he laid the
groundwork for his lifelong dream, an around-the-world motorcycle
trip: more than 100, 000 miles across six continents, his second
Guinness record. That journey became the subject of Rogers’s
first book, Investment Biker (1994).

Rogers’s Millennium Adventure 1999-2001, his third
Guinness record, took him and his wife through 116 countries,
through half of the world’s 30 civil wars, and over 152, 000
miles. His second book, Adventure Capitalist, chronicled
that incredible journey.

Now a contributor to Fox News and other news and print outlets,
he has recently moved to Asia with his wife and daughter.
