‘China is the next great country,’ says our old friend Jim Rogers to the Agora Financial Investment Symposium crowd. ‘Of course, there will be setbacks, just as there were in the growth the United States. We had crashes on Wall Street and even a Civil War. But you still could have made a lot of money by investing in the United States. There will probably be real estate speculators going broke. Who knows what will happen? But the growth of China will be the single most important event of this century. And the best thing you can do for your children is to teach them Chinese. And make sure their money is not in dollars.’
