But for legendary commodities trader Jim Rogers, it was just the beginning of a career on Wall Street that has spanned six decades and produced a net worth in the hundreds of millions.#-ad_banner-# Rogers’ amazing success was built on his uncanny ability to spot long-term trends well before the masses, earning him a reputation as a contrarian. But now, after “retiring” at 37, scoring huge gains in commodities in the early 2000s and correctly predicting the financial and housing crisis, Jim Rogers has his sights set squarely on what he calls one of the greatest opportunities he has ever seen, and now he’s sharing his stock market investing advice, with you! Jim Rogers’ Biography Rogers showed a penchant for business at an early age. His career as an entrepreneur began at age 5 with selling peanuts and picking up empty bottles left behind at baseball games in Alabama.

Whenever I need inspiration for a new stock idea, I think about Levi Strauss. Yes, Levi Strauss — the man who invented blue jeans. As a scrappy European immigrant to the land of opportunity, Strauss went West during the California Gold Rush in the mid-1800s seeking his fortune. But he didn’t go as a prospector. Instead, Strauss made his first fortune selling pickaxes, shovels and other supplies to 49ers in search of gold. His second and much larger fortune was made when he decided to make pants out of tent canvas, dye them blue… Read More

Instead, Strauss made his first fortune selling pickaxes, shovels and other supplies to 49ers in search of gold. His second and much larger fortune was made when he decided to make pants out of tent canvas, dye them blue with indigo and sell the durable outerwear to would-be gold miners. Simply put, Strauss was an expert in finding trends and profiting from them. This kind of savvy reminds me of a company I’ve followed for more than a decade now. I’m talking about Senior Housing Properties Trust (NYSE: SNH), a real estate investment trust (REIT). And I like this company particularly now, because it’s seizing a huge opportunity to make a lot of… Read More

Let’s be realistic. You’re NOT going to get rich in a hurry by investing in mainstream blue-chip stocks. The S&P 500 is a handy benchmark and a good proxy for the U.S. economy, but it’s not going to make anyone rich unless you have decades to invest. If you want to truly soar above the market, you have to dedicate… Read More

The S&P 500 is a handy benchmark and a good proxy for the U.S. economy, but it’s not going to make anyone rich unless you have decades to invest. If you want to truly soar above the market, you have to dedicate at least part of your portfolio to serious big-game hunting. With that in mind, my team and I just released a report on my boldest predictions for 2014. (On Wednesday, I told you about one prediction.) These are ideas that you won’t hear about in the mainstream financial press until it’s too late. In the past, my previous predictions have returned thousands of dollars to subscribers of my newsletter Game-Changing Stocks. Here’s a brief look at a few of the triple-digit winners…   But my ideas for 2014 are some of the most exciting to date. In fact, I had… Read More

While the overwhelming narrative of late in the global markets has been the Federal Reserve’s “taper” talk, not every central bank around the world is following the Ben Bernanke playbook. Last week, there was a meeting of the Bank of England (BOE) that proved that not all minds think alike when it comes to monetary policy and a continued commitment to easy-money stimulus. In his first meeting as governor of the Bank of England, former… Read More

In his first meeting as governor of the Bank of England, former Bank of Canada Gov. Mark Carney stirred the pot with a much more detailed statement of the normally terse BOE decision by the Monetary Policy Committee. (To show what I mean by “terse,” the BOE’s June press release was basically two sentences long.)#-ad_banner-# The new Carney-led BOE came with a more detailed statement for July.
