When it comes to investing in commodities market, everyone these days turns to Jim Rogers, the global investing legend on commodities. Rogers, author of bestselling books like Hot Commodities, A Bull in China, Investment Biker, and Adventure Capitalist, is these days settled in Singapore. Rogers offers the most practical advice and information on commodities for beginners and seasoned investors. His books — especially Hot Commodities — are the best resources on how to read the commodities reports in newspapers or on television, the various ways to open an account, information on index funds (such as Rogers’ own index fund that he started in 1998 called Rogers International Commodity Index), mechanisms, terminology, and other vital details people must know before investing.
In a brief e-mail interview with Commodity Online, Jim Rogers says that it would be better for countries like China — and everyone — to build commodity reserves rather than reserves in US dollar.
