...; at age 37. Continuing to manage his own portfolio, Rogers kept busy serving as a professor of finance at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business, and, in 1989 and 1990, as the moderator of WCBS's 'The Dreyfus Roundtable' and FNN's 'The Profit Motive with Jim Rogers'.
Rogers hosted television programs on WCBS, FNN and CNBC, and written columns for Worth and Men’s Journal. His forecasts are featured in Barron’s, Fortune, The Wall Street Journal, The Financial Times, TIME, and The Washington Post.
In 1990 Rogers set out not only to travel, but to learn about the world’s developing countries and investment markets first hand. Investment Biker was the story of this extraordinary trip and the world economy—getting to the heart of what drives successful nations and economies upward and what sends troubled ones downward. Not satisfied with this record-setting trip around the world atop a motorcycle, for which TIME called him the "Indiana Jones of finance," Rogers embarked with his fiancée Paige Parker and a one-of-a-kind Mercedes Benz, on a new adventure to chronicle the world during the turn of the Millennium 1999-2001.
Rogers writes about his amazing travels and discoveries in Adventure Capitalist: How I Drove Around the World for Three Years in a Yellow Mercedes, Visited 116 Countries, Invested Globally, Set a Guinness World Record, and Ate an Iguana, which was published in Spring 2003.
He’s given up on the Dollar, moved his family to Singapore and is bullish on China and commodities. Rogers' insightful commentary on the political and historical topography of these diverse countries cuts through stereotypes to give us a glimpse of the world the way it really is, for better or worse.
