A Bull in China

December 1, 2007
Like his around-the-world motorcycle trip chronicled in Investment Biker (1994), author, investment maven, and media commentator Rogers races through the promising and profitable business opportunities China has to offer?in a manner and prose far superior to any other current financial guru?writer?s. Even the most jaded of stock pickers will understand Rogers? rationale and appreciate his expertise. After all, despite recent product crises, China is ripe for investing, although not without risks and complications. He first maneuvers through the bewildering variety of Asian exchanges, stock shares, and issues to solve, then plunges into, chapter by chapter, an examination of different industries, some future prognostications, and Jim's Sino Files, a list of five or so of the latest companies in that commercial sector, including a brief description and notes on three-year trends. His enthusiasm for all things Chinese is contagious, so ponder his advice slowly: Get out of the dollar, teach your children Chinese, and buy commodities.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
