Words of wisdom- Jim Rogers

I have learned, for whatever reason, to know that change is coming, to know to think against the crowd is nearly always wrong and to try to think for myself.

"...if everybody says the sky is blue, I at least urge you to go and look out the window and see if it's blue because I have found that most people won't even bother to look out the window..."

Bubble, Bubble, Money and Trouble [Barron's, LAUREN R. RUBLIN interviews MARC FABER, publisher of the Gloom Boom & Doom Report; SATURDAY, JUNE 1, 2013]

Marc Faber's take on Myanmar:

Where ever you go, people are talking about Myanmar. They seem to love it as much as they loved Vietnam right near the market's peak in 2006-07. There are opportunities, but there is high execution risk. Yoma Strategic Holdings [Z59.SIYOMA.Singapore] is the only direct play on Myanmar. It is run by an old friend of mine, Serge Pun, an ideal man to operate in difficult environments. I am not recommending the stock because it no longer is cheap, but this is the way to invest in Myanmar if you want to do it.

Why study agriculture instead of finance- Jim Rogers

"Until prices reach a point where growing food is profitable, the world's farmers, who are currently aging and dying are not going to be replaced. Prices must rise, and they will. In recent years, the world has been consuming more food than it has produced. Those inventories that were so high in the 1980s are now historically low, somewhere near 14 percent of consumption (vs  ~35 percent of consumption in the 1980s). The world is facing dramatic shortages." Jim Rogers
