This is a book written by Jim Rogers who is an American investor. It is a very short book, less than 100 pages, but very inspirational nonetheless. It is what my dad git me to read as my introduction to the stock market and investing, which also marks the beginning of what is about to become a non fiction plethora over the next few months as I introduce myself to stock investing. This book is close to my heart just because my dad went through and made little annotations of his own, what he wants me to learn from life and even specific to investing.
The biggest lesson I took from this b0ok is that he who knows nothing of other cultures knows nothing of his own. Reading the news, travelling and immersing yourself in new places and people does a world of wonder for you on a personal and financial level. So much of Roger’s success came from having cultural and historical knowledge while the average investor has financial knowledge only. I also learn the value in reading the news. I do that anyway, I read the newspaper every single day, however I know realise I need to be doing way more research into whats happening around the world.
