Jim Rogers again delivers a good educational read. This book shows how we are entering a long term bull market in commodities and a long term bear market in equities. This is a belief not widely held by Wall Street- which has a vested interest in teaching you to ONLY be involved with equities and to do so ONLY on the long side, both of which are wrong at all times, but that discrepancy will be amplified in the coming decade.
Take Rogers' specific trading suggestions with a big grain of salt, but conceptually he hits the nail right on the head. |

Those who have listened to Jim Rogers speak in the past few years will find no real surprises in this book. He likes commodities, and he likes china. He is not quite so fond of india and dislikes russia. You only have to go back to his previous book adventure capitalist to get that message, where he went into much detail about the problems with both india and the central asian states and their particular brand of outlaw capitalism.
So the message to buy commodities is not new in this book, but in this book he gives you some basic information on commodites, nothing new here. In the middle of the book, however, he breaks the commodities down, and makes an individual case for each of them, based on fundamentals and history. This, in my opinion, is the strength of the book and what makes it worth the price. |

Jim Rogers wrote a very easy to read book.
If you are looking for hot tips as to what commodity to invest in do not waste your money buying this book. He does not offer any "hot" tips. I personally believe if any one person had "hot" tips to make tons of money, why would they tell other people? It does not make sense. Anyhow this book does not have any formulas, and actually the author points out that most technical analysis traders loose money, it is the people who write the book on technical analysis that make money.
The book however is well written, and makes basic arguements based on facts, namely suppy and demand. Jim Rogers as you can tell from his book is a fundamentalist. His arguements are clear and concise, and make perfect sense. You will not be disappointed in this book, and even if you are technical trader, you could still use many concepts in this book to help with your trading, or if you just want some information on the fundamental side.
This is one of the best books I have bought in a long time. It will sit with my arsenal of other books, so that I can use this to help make better judgements into what commodities to invest into.
He also makes some nice parallels with the stock market and commodities market.
You will not be disappointed, and the price is not bad at all. |

I have followed Jim Rogers for over ten years. Although I have learned from him through watching him on television, reading his articles, and reading his first two books over that time, I have always hoped that he would write a book solely on investing that would give other people the chance to learn how he approaches investment decisions. Hot Commodities is it! If there is one thing that I have learned since I have followed the financial markets, it is that there are tons of people on TV that SOUND like they know what they are talking about, but there are very few people who make investment predictions that consistently come true. Take my word, Jim Rogers is the person you should listen to if you want to make money in the financial markets. If you want hard data to back that up, just do some research on the Quantum Fund that he and George Soros ran in the 1970s. It went up 4000% in value in the 1970s when equities were going down! In addition to reading Hot Commodities and his other two books, check out his web site since he has numerous articles there. And also be sure to watch him every Saturday morning on FoxNews. The bottom line is that if you learn how he thinks, you will be able to make sound investment decisions for yourself for the rest of your life. |

Such a great book, thanks for the great work! It is precise and concise and backed by a solid analysis framework. Reading this book and appreciating his genius and insight, I feel the author is such a honest and modest person as well. The most important thing I learned is not the conclusion but the process of analysis, which is hard to be found in other "fancy" books/articles. |

Jim Rogers is always worth-reading, whether one agrees with his opinion or not. The reader gets insight into one of the true trading Market Wizards. True in the sense that he has a very long track record, survived many ups and downs in the markets, is one of the true pioneers in macro-investing and, most of all, travelled the world twice which gives him a unique edge in understanding global economics.
Hot Commodities is an easy reading book on why Rogers is bullish on commodities and on how investors can profit (provided his analysis is correct) in those markets. Rogers writing style is lucid and leaves complicated jargon out. I strongly agree with Rogers that commodities never get the respect they deserve.
In sum, whether you agree with the author or not on being bullish on commodities, the book is definitely worth reading. |

Jim Rogers' book is surprisingly similar in tone to those breathless radio ads inviting you to "invest now" in petroleum futures because bad weather in the northeast is sure to cause a shortage of heating oil. But, Rogers backs up his enthusiasm - dare one say exuberance? - with facts. His record as co-founder of the Quantum Fund speaks for itself. Of course, it doesn't take an advanced degree to figure out that as China continues its inevitable lumbering jog toward economic hegemony, its appetite for commodities will become insatiable. Hearing it from someone with Rogers' track record, however, gives it immediacy. Rogers seems to be talking to the general investing public, which may explain the awkward chapters that detour through commodity investment basics, but he heads for more advanced territory soon enough. As the founder of the "The Rogers Raw Materials Index Fund," he would probably relish a run on commodities. That said, Rogers makes a convincing case, and we strongly recommend his book to those looking to diversify into commodities. |

A good introduction to commodities and future trading and investing. Interesting analysis of the markets although I did not agree with all his views and analysis. An honest presentation of facts and risks of trading and investing in commodities. |
