Jim Rogers : I Cross-check all Governments Numbers

economyblast@gmail.com — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:55:00 +0000

Jim Rogers: It’s just like in America, you have to have lots of sources and cross-reference. Yes, I read the IMF numbers. The World Bank, the CIA.

Jim Rogers on microfinance ventures

economyblast@gmail.com — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:41:00 +0000

Jim Rogers: Sounds like a great idea, and at least in the beginning I guess it was, but it has collapsed as a concept. Isn’t the guy [Yunus] that won the Nobel Prize in prison? Or threatened with prison? But I don’t want to get into all that. It has nothing to do with him being right or wrong, but...

Sell Lamborghinis to the Farmers

economyblast@gmail.com — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:14:00 +0000

Jim Rogers : It’s up to the person. If you know nothing about farming, I would suggest you start small. I would not suggest that you borrow $50 million and start a gigantic farming operation. But if you already know about farming, then sure, go ahead and start big. It’s not just about farming. If...

Jim Rogers : Agriculture in Myanmar is the most certain way to make a fortune right now

economyblast@gmail.com — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 17:07:00 +0000

Jim Rogers: Well, I doubt I said “the” most certain, but I probably said “a” certain. (There’s no such thing as “the” most certain.) Right now, agriculture in Myanmar is probably “the” most certain way to make a fortune – if one can execute. I am sure many people opened schools in China and didn’t...

Jim Rogers loves to be Farmer in Myanmar

economyblast@gmail.com — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:10:00 +0000

Jim Rogers : It depends. When I think of agriculture, I don’t immediately think of Japan. It’s pretty far north, and it’s small, but given the demographic situation, it would probably be a great place given you’d have no competition and there’s a lot of available land. Of course, you have to deal...
