With this kind of record of seeing sights/sounds of the world, who’s credible enough to argue?

This guy is not only arrogant and provincial, but has about as much depth as a soap dish. At least he’s consisent: I’ve had the misfortune to observe that his other writing is also not worth spending time on.

Foe those of you who have yet to buy this book-don’t waste your money. Rogers writes his typical negative, the US sucks and I’m the smartest guy in the world book. Anyone who’s followed his advice over the years has earned a sub par return. He’s been bearish on Russia forever and it’s the #1 market in the world the past five years! Another example that “guru’s” aren’t worth listening to.

I am amazed how thw the author is able to perpetuate his image of being a market seer. His insight in this book barely penetrates the pages upon which the print is written. It’s the same old harangue he presented in his previous books. Just empty gibberish amd platitudes. Given his wide exposure and attempts to market himself, I would like to think his ghost writer would be able to disclose some of hbis thoughts that I believe would be more perceptive than the pseudo author markets. I am tempted to return this one or give it to someone I do not like.

The whole idea of someone visiting hundred some countries and comparing the scope for investment in each of them lacks credibility. The book is full of author’s own (and mostly incorrect) conclusions about issues which are deep and puzzle even the experts. Most of the book’s focus is on the local food and entertainment rather than investment climate. A look at the author’s conclusions seems that Mr. Rogers left for this trip with a pre-set bias in his mind.
If you like to read personal travel diaries, this book will be an average one (not good). If you are looking for investment advice, please avoid it. Go and find yourself. But trust me its impossible to gauge countries and economies in 10 days.
