吉姆罗杰斯：为中国投资者把脉指点吉姆•罗杰斯是世界杰出的投资大师之一，并被称为“商品大王”。
他对全球股市、大宗商品和货币市场有深刻独到的见解和预测。
在此，我们将了解他对中国投资者的指导和建议。
1. 投资黄金吉姆•罗杰斯认为，现在是购买黄金的好时机，因为全球金融危机不断加剧，特别是欧盟国家的债务危机，使得黄金成为了对冲投资者风险的最好选择。
2. 重视大宗商品由于中国不断进行城市化和工业化，对大宗商品的需求不断增加，如能源和工业金属等。
他认为，未来20年都将是大宗商品的黄金时代，因此投资者应该关注大宗商品市场的走势，以及特别关注中国的大宗商品需求。
3. 投资农业吉姆•罗杰斯预测，未来几年将出现全球性的农业危机。
随着人口不断增加，对食品需求的增加将超过全球粮食生产的增长速度。
因此，他建议投资者投资农业，特别是在友好的政策、好的土地和气候条件下的新兴国家和地区进行投资。
4. 对房地产行业保持警惕吉姆•罗杰斯认为，当前在中国房地产行业处境很危险。
由于中国房地产泡沫过大，可以预期未来将会出现一次房地产泡沫破灭，因此他建议不要进行房地产投资。
5. 投资水资源随着中国的城市化和工业化不断加速，水资源将成为各方面竞争的焦点。
吉姆•罗杰斯认为，未来将有越来越多的资金流向中国的水资源领域，因此投资者应该关注该领域的机会。
6. 投资教育教育是未来中国的重中之重，因此吉姆•罗杰斯建议投资教育领域，特别是中国的教育市场和教育技术行业。
最后，吉姆•罗杰斯还提醒中国投资者，在进行投资前，必须理清自己的投资目标和风险承受能力。
只有进行充分的风险评估，才能选择最合适的投资方向，并取得成功的投资收益。
外国名人励志小故事外国名人励志小故事(一)吉姆罗杰斯的投资故事，美国证券界最成功的实践家吉姆罗杰斯，现代华尔街的风云人物，被誉为最富远见的国际投资家，是美国证券界最成功的实践家之一。
他毕业于耶鲁大学和牛津大学，选择投资管理行业开始了自己的职业生涯。
1970年和索罗斯共同创建量子基金。
量子基金连续十年的年均收益率超过50%。
1980年，37岁的罗杰斯从量子基金退出，他为他自己积累了数千万美元的巨大财富。
1980年后，罗杰斯开始了自己的投资事业。
已经成为全世界最伟大的投资家之一。
1947年，5岁的吉姆罗杰斯得到了自己人生中的第一份工作——在棒球场上捡拾空可乐瓶，每24个瓶子可以换来5美分，最多的一个下午，他捡了552个瓶子，挣了1.15美元。
不久，6岁的他又发现了少年棒球联合会比赛场地中没人卖软饮料和花生的“商业空白”，并从父亲那里得到了100美元的“贷款”购置必需的花生烘烤机。
5年后，11岁的罗杰斯不仅还清了父亲的100美元，还把剩余的100美元存入了自己的银行户头。
也许正是这些来自童年时期对商品和市场的朴素理解，直接奠定了日后罗杰斯的投资价值观：不是天天盯着市场曲线和趋势看，投资之前，要脚踏实地的观察、分析和思考，不能追随别人，必须要自己做出判断。
在耶鲁、牛津先后读完历史、政治、经济、哲学专业后，罗杰斯怀揣600美元闯进华尔街。
接下来便是那一系列足以令整个世界瞩目的业绩：与金融大鳄乔治索罗斯共同设立1997年令东南亚各国闻风丧胆的“量子基金”，在1970～1980年的10年间该基金收益率达4200%;1980年，与罗索斯拆伙成立自己的投资公司，1982年，看好西德的投资价值，开始分批买入西德股票，又在1985年和1986年分批卖出，获得3倍利润;1984年，外界极少关注的奥地利股市暴跌至1961年的一半时，大量买进奥地利企业的股票和债券，第二年奥地利股指上升了145%，他因此获称“奥地利股市之父”??“金融界的印地安那琼斯(美国大片《夺宝奇兵》系列中的冒险家)”，是《时代》周刊给他的评价。
投资骑士：吉姆·罗杰斯吉姆·罗杰斯吉姆·罗杰斯国际著名的投资家和金融学教授。
他具有传奇般的投资经历。
从他与金融大鳄e，Jac Schwager’s MaretWiards等著名年鉴收录，无不令世人为之叹服。
吉姆罗杰斯是第三位介绍量子的核心人物，也是最为潇洒的一位，一边环球旅行一边投资，这就是量子创始人之一、人称"奥地利之父" 、周游列国全球投资的Rogers〕是在1997年令东南亚国家闻风丧胆的"量子"的前合伙人，是国际著名的投资家和金融学教授。
曾被Jon Train's ?现代投资大师?, Jac Schwager's ?市场奇才?等著名年鉴收录。
罗杰斯还是?时代?〔?Time?〕、华盛顿邮报〔The Washington es〕、巴伦周刊〔es〕长期撰稿人。
投资哲学：脚踏实地“我人生中最成功的投资是我11个月大的女儿，我有过很多成功的、失败的投资经验，但从成功中学到的东西远不及从失败中学到的多。
〞当记者问及他辉煌的投资历史时，罗杰斯的答复有点出人意料，却又在情理之中。
他举了个例子。
“在我非常年轻的时候，有一年，我判断将要崩盘。
在美国，你可以通过卖空来。
后来确实如我所料，大跌，金融机构纷纷破产，一瞬间我的资金翻了三倍，当时我觉得自己实在是太聪明了。
〞尝了甜头后，罗杰斯判断市场将近一步下跌，于是集中了自己所有的资金大力卖空，而却极不合作地上涨了“最后只能斩仓，账户里一分不剩。
我当时穷得把自己的摩托车都卖掉了。
〞事后，他觉察自己当时根本不清楚自己在做什么，自己对继续下跌的判断其实没有任何研究做支撑，于是他翻然醒悟，“获得成功后往往会被胜利冲昏头脑，这种时候尤其需要平静的思考。
〞事实上，罗杰斯一直成功地扮演着传奇投资家的角色，这一点在他六岁的时候就已经显现。
当时他获准在青年联赛上出售软饮料和花生，于是罗杰斯向爸爸借了100美元买了个烘花生的设备，五年后，他不仅归还了当初借来的“启动资金〞100美元，还获得了100美元的利润。
吉姆·罗杰斯一、个人简介詹姆斯·吉姆·比伦·罗杰斯（英语：James "Jim" Beeland Rogers, Jr，1942年10月19日－）为美国著名投资者、经济分析师、大学教授及作家，曾与索罗斯共同创立量子基金，以投资于商品期货闻名，有“商品大王”之称。
吉姆·罗杰斯是第三位介绍量子基金的核心人物，主要特点是一边环球旅行一边投资。
罗杰斯曾在1980年代驾驶摩托车在中国大陆旅游，1990年至1992年则驾驶摩托车环游世界，在世界六大洲横越65,065里，并因此被列入吉尼斯世界纪录大全。
由1999年1月1日至2002年2月5日，他又创下另一项世界纪录，旅程经过116个国家，横越245,000公里。
旅程自冰岛开始，在2002年1月5日，他们返回纽约市Riverside Drive的家。
罗杰斯在ADVENTURE CAPITALIST的中文版序言中写到：“在我游历的这116个国家中，我最喜欢中国，很想在中国上海定居。
”他也曾经在很多个场合中说，“19世纪是英国的世纪，20世纪是美国的世纪，21世纪是中国的世纪。

你好,吉姆·罗杰斯他多次环游世界，有时骑着摩托车，有时开着奔驰旅游车，一边欣赏风景，一边布局投资。
他就是吉姆?罗杰斯，被巴菲特称为“对大势的把握无人能及”的投资大师，也是国际金融界最富盛名的中国人的老朋友。
73岁的吉姆?罗杰斯又来中国了。
当他从北京首都国际机场到达通道走出，几个接机人员正举着写着他名字的牌子，在人群中翘首以盼。
可是，没有人注意到他。
直到罗杰斯走到几个年轻人面前，指着牌子说：“你们是来接我的吗？”没有人能猜出，这个外表普通至极的外国老头究竟有多少钱。
他与巴菲特、索罗斯并称全球三大金融巨头，所有试图接近他的人，都希望从他的嘴里问出最靠谱的投资逻辑。
2015年1月31日，博雅总裁论坛年会上，以特聘教授身份出席的罗杰斯，主动热情地与记者们交换着名片，遇到女记者还会细心地问对方的生日，并在采访后献上绅士的吻手礼。
距离罗杰斯第一次来中国，已经整整过去了30年。
这段不短的岁月里，他从华尔街的金融大鳄变成了中国概念的倡导者，大力推广亚洲与中国的投资机会更是令人侧目。
吉姆?罗杰斯，几乎已经成为最著名的“中国人民的老朋友”之一。
罗杰斯说，“在我游历的所有国家中，我最喜欢中国。
”骑着摩托车他就来了8岁那年的一天，在美国亚拉巴马老家，罗杰斯与比他大十个月的表哥一起玩挖洞探险的游戏，表哥说：“如果我们一直挖下去，就能到中国了！”这是罗杰斯第一次听到“中国”这个词。
他问母亲，中国是什么样的。
母亲告诉他：中国还有很多小朋友在挨饿，所以你不能浪费！1980年，38岁的罗杰斯与索罗斯分道扬镳，离开量子基金。
之后，他几乎以一人之力开创了一个“学科”：投资地理学――在周游世界的快乐旅途中发现投资的机会。
1984年，罗杰斯发现奥利地股市已经不到1963年时的一半，便风风火火地跑到维也纳考察。
他看到的是：整个奥地利根本没有人关心股票，交易大厅空空如也，政府也没有反对外国人投资股市。
于是，他果断抄底。
不久，来自欧美国家的游击资金追随着罗杰斯纷纷抢滩奥地利股市，一年便上涨125%，而罗杰斯则至少在这波行情中赚取4倍利润。
投资魔法师：吉姆·罗杰斯作者：暂无来源：《投资与理财》 2010年第2期这个世界上没有手握水晶球的魔法师，但是，却有如魔法师般神奇的投资大师。
他，就是吉姆·罗杰斯。
1969年，他和索罗斯一起创建的量子基金，10年内投资收益率达4200%．而同期标准普尔500指数仅上涨不足50%。
1980年，他出人意料地离开索罗斯基金，怀揣1400万美元利润，开始了其“独行侠”般的投资生涯。
通过两次环球旅行，他的投资足迹遍布葡萄牙、奥地利、德国、新加坡、巴西、中国等十佘个国家。
1998年，他创立了“罗杰斯国际商品指数”，截至2008年12月3 1日，该指数上涨了159.3 7%．而同期标准普尔500指数仅上涨了9.54%。
他成功预测了1987年美国大股灾和2008年美国次贷危机，被巴菲特称为“把握大势无人能及“的投资大师。
他不英俊，出身偏僻地区的一般家庭，是一个享受生活、有着几段感情际遇、热爱探险、足迹遍及世界各地的“侠客”。
其实，罗杰斯与索罗斯这个组合的配搭，在一开始是被罗杰斯拒绝的。
1969年，索罗斯在自己设立的第一个对冲基金“笫一雄鹰基金”(First Eagle Fund)投资回报良好的基础上创立了“双鹰基金”，并邀请罗杰斯加入他的管理团队。
但是，罗杰斯回绝了索罗斯的邀约，因为他有自己的打算。
相对于索罗斯给出的基金经理人助手的空缺，他更愿意到其他公司尝试更高的职位。
罗杰斯最终选择了追随“炒股不败的世纪寿星”——罗伊·纽伯格，做了纽伯格一伯尔曼公司董事会主席助理。
但是，他投资“大学计算”股票失败，这使他一无所有。
罗杰斯茫然了，究竟哪里才是他职业生涯的最终发展方向？“成为对冲基金经理人，这是积累惊人财富的最佳捷径。
”此时，他想到了索罗斯。
虽然索罗斯还是对曾经被拒绝心存芥蒂，但他很快被罗杰斯的投资理念吸引，并最终接纳了他。
与索罗斯一样，罗杰斯极富野心，工作非常努力，天生具有才智，且阅读广泛。
金融“大鳄”罗杰斯10条经典语录：从来没有哪个人只靠从众成功！罗杰斯，华尔街叱咤风云的人物，曾经和索罗斯一起创立了量子基金，两人被称为投资领域最成功的双子星，11年的时间，索罗斯的基金翻了33倍多，罗杰斯功不可没，1980年他从量子基金退出，开始了自己的投资事业。
罗杰斯被誉为最有远见的投资家，他曾成功预测并做空1970年，1989年两次美国股市大跌，1984年第一次造访中国后，他宣扬“21世纪属于中国”。
1990年开设B股账户后，他投资了房地产，家电，橡胶等产业。
2000年大宗商品爆发之前果断看涨，被称为“商品大王”。
1.复利是投资的精髓。
2.即使你不是个精明人，只要在经济低迷时投资，经济好转后一定稳赚。
要想狠狠赚上一笔的话，非得趁人心惶惶的时候投资。
3.成功的投资家的做事方法通常就是什么都不做，一直等到你看到钱就在那里摆着，就在墙角那里，你唯一要做的事情就是走过去把钱拾起来。
这就是投资之道。
4.与众人反向而行需要勇气。
事实是，这世界上从不曾有哪个人是只靠“从众”而成功的。
5.风粗糙的爱抚铸成精美绝伦的线条，那是任何雕塑家或工程师都无法模仿的。
6.该怎么做才会成功呢？答案非常简单：做你热爱的事。
我在投资方面会成功，因为那是我最喜欢做的事。
假如你喜欢烧菜，就去开一间你自己的餐馆；假如你擅长跳舞，就去学跳舞。
想成功最快的方法，是做你喜欢做的事，然后全力以赴。
7.假如周遭的人都劝你不要做某件事，甚至嘲笑你根本不该想去做，就可以把这件事当做可能成功的指标。
8.永远买高质量的商品，它们不但耐用，而且残存价值高。
9.等你们长大了，会跟男孩们打交道。
我希望永远给你们建议和警告。
与他们交往的基本原则是：记住他们对你们的需求远远大于你们对他们的需求。
当他们狂热追你们的时候，他们会许下千万条诺言。
实话告诉你们，这种漂亮话我能说得比他们好。
直接忽略他们，对自己诚实。
当听到荒谬的许诺、奉承、夸奖时，运用你们的常识。
不要追随男孩们转学、迁徙、换工作。
