Born October 19, 1942, James B. Rogers, Jr. is an American investor and financial commentator. Along with George Soros, Rogers was a co-founder of the Quantum Fund and has been a college professor, author, and a world traveler.

From 1990 to 1992, Jim traveled around the world on a BMW motorcycle. Logging over 100,000 miles across six continents, he was included in the Guinness Book of World Records. Jim chronicles his adventures and worldwide investments in the Investment Biker. Rogers is a regular guest on Fox News’ Cavuto on Business which airs every Saturday.

Due to his belief that this is a ground breaking time for investment potential in Asian markets, Jim Rogers sold his mansion in New York City to move to Singapore in 2008.

Recently, Rogers has made blistering attacks on US monetary policy and the “helicopter cash drop” responses of the Federal Reserve. He is noted for describing the American dollar as a “terribly flawed currency”. Stating that the prices of all agricultural products would “explode” in coming years, Rogers predicts that the price of gold will continue its surge to as much as $3,500 an ounce.

All this speaks to the manner in which we baby boomers invest our retirement funds. With the prime rate manipulated by the fed, fixed-rate income sources will barely track inflation.

Maybe it’s time to be slightly more aggressive with investment of our retirement nest-age.
