Ad1, Who is Jim Rogers?
Rogers Business
After studying at Oxford, Rogers came back to the U.S. and joined the Army for a few years. In 1970, he joined Arnhold & S. Bleichroeder, where he met George Soros.
The same year, he and Soros founded the Quantum Fund. During the following 10 years the fund gained 3,365% according to Mr. Rogers ("from 12-31-1969 to 12-31-1980, the Soros Fund chalked up a gain of 3,365%") while the Dow Industrials advanced about 20% (963.99/800.36) ([1]). It was one of the first truly international funds. In 1980, he decided to "retire."
Since then, he's been a guest professor of finance at the Columbia University Graduate School of Business. In 1989 and 1990 he was the moderator of WCBS's "The Dreyfus Roundtable" and FNN's "The Profit Motive with Jim Rogers." In 2002, he became a regular guest on FOX News Cavuto on Business which airs every Saturday.
In 1998 he founded the Rogers International Commodity Index, which has increased 263% since Aug. 1, 1998 (as of June 2006). In 2005, Rogers wrote the book Hot Commodities: How Anyone Can Invest Profitably in the World's Best Market. In this book, Rogers quotes a Financial Analysts Journal academic paper co-authored by Yale School of Management professor, Geert Rouwenhorst, titled Facts and Fantasies about Commodity Futures. Rogers contends this paper shows that commodities investment is one of the best investments over time, which is a concept counter to conventional investment thinking.
