Investment Biker

Around the World with Jim Rogers

Legendary investor Jim Rogers gives us his view of the world on a 22-month, 52-country motorcycle odyssey in his best-selling business/adventure book, Investment Biker, which has already sold more than 200,000 copies.

Before you invest another dollar anywhere in the world (including the United States), read this book by the man Time magazine calls "the Indiana Jones of finance".

Great reader, Not so great reader

This was an incredible journey (even though the author was crazy for doing it!). Very insightful and eye-opening. The issue was poor choice of narrator. He had a deadpan, monotone delivery that definitely detracted from the extraordinary stories the author was telling. You also would think that you would get someone that could do accents for narrating a trip around the world. Still a great read though!

Relaxed listening

Good story, I only hoped for more investment wisdom. For me it was 70 % story / 30 % investment wisdom (rather economical)

Best book ever written!

Definitely entertaining and very insightful! I'd recommend to everyone who likes traveling, biking or investing.

A travelogue with pearls of Wisdom

Certainly an Amazing book to read, it gave me a glimpse of the world through the lens of Jim Rogers. I now understand to look at other factors while understanding. There is a common thread around the countries growth, maturity, decline... I would definitely recommend it to people who want to see the world and understand history in addition to investing people.

A great adventure tale peppered with investment advice

10/10 book. Jim tells a great story of his adventures around the globe. I especially liked hearing about cities that I visited since the book has been written in finding out how they’ve changed from first-hand experience. He also gives matter-of-fact investment advice, and you get a real look in the how he thinks about the investing world. Good or bad seems honest and that’s something I appreciate in a book.
