The need for Diversification

It doesn’t matter in which part of the world you look for investments: you must know what you are doing. Find investments you know a lot about. I happen to think that commodities are the better place to be in right now. If people can’t spell commodities, they should not buy them. Some who know a lot about rice might put all of their money into rice. You should not do anything you don’t know. - Jim Rogers on the need for Diversification

The West vs Asia

The West is going to continue to decline, and Asia will continue to rise. The key is to try to find areas that are not affected by the West. - Jim Rogers

Investors should only enter areas that they know a lot about

Investors should only enter areas that they know a lot about and only if they find good opportunities. Otherwise, they should do nothing. - Jim Rogers
