热门商品投资 – Hot Commodities by Jim Rogers

《热门商品投资:量子基金创始人的投资真经》讲述金价持续攀升，触摸每盎司1000美元的高位；全球经济危机影响深远，美元持续走低，油价一度曾达到150美元/桶。这些后来在商品投资市场真实发生的事实都可以从这位投资大鳄的《热门商品投资》中找到些许经典的理论依据和共同规律。

吉姆·罗杰斯是世界上最成功的投资大师之一，赚的钱多得让他这辈子不用再工作。他以前还从来没有写过一本实用的有关投资建议的书——直至创作出这本《热门商品投资》。

罗杰斯从商品的供给和需求出发，深入分析了石油、黄金、铅、糖、咖啡等商品的历史及未来走势，深入浅出，他的建议无疑为深陷投资市场泥潭的人们指出了一条光明大道。

The next bull market is here. It’s not in stocks. It’s not in bonds. It’s in commodities – and some smart investors will be riding that bull to record returns in the next decade.

In Hot Commodities, Rogers offers the lowdown on the most lucrative markets for today and tomorrow. In 1998, gliding under the radar, a bull market in commodities began. Rogers thinks it’s going to continue for at least fifteen years – and he’s put his money where his mouth is: In 1998, he started his own commodities index fund. It’s up 165% since then, with more than $200 million invested, and it’s the single-best performing index fund in the world in any asset class. Less risky than stocks and less sluggish than bonds, commodities are where the money is – and will be in the years ahead. Rogers’s strategies are simple and straightforward. You can start small – a few thousand dollars will suffice. It’s all about putting your money into stuff you understand, the basic materials of everyday life, like coal, sugar, cotton, corn, or crude oil. Once you recognize the cyclical and historical trading patterns outlined here, you’ll be on your way.

In language that is both colorful and accessible, Rogers explains why the world of commodity investing can be one of the simplest of all – and how commodities are the bases by which investors can value companies, markets, and whole economies. To be a truly great investor is to know something about commodities.

For small investors and high rollers alike, Hot Commodities is as good as gold . . . or lead, or aluminum, which are some of the commodities Rogers says could be as rewarding for investors.
