"A Custom Edition of the bestselling Street Smarts" - from the jacket front. ". Perhaps you know Jim already. His investment track record is the stuff of legend. He got his start on Wall Street at a young age - from out of college (Yale and Oxford). After a stint at Arnholod and S. Bleichroeder, he left to co-found the Quantum Fund. Jim chose a tough time to launch his new endeavor. The year was 1970. Over the ensuing 10 years, the markets would flatline. Watergate would lead to the impeachment of an American president, for the first time in history. The Vietnam War would rage for years, stoking Cold War tensions and costing countless lives. Nixon would torpedo the U.S. dollar and the gold standard. Inflation would explode. Gas lines would curl around the block, as OPEC triggered one oil shock after another. The Iran hostage Crisis would captivate a nation, and doom Jimmy Carter's presidency. It would all lead to prolonged stagflation and double-digit interest rates. So how did Jim Rogers fare through this period of extended chaos? When the dust settled in 1980, Quantum was up 4,200% (versus just 47% for the S&P 500). His success was a signal to the world that a new financial genius had arrived. Jim didn't need political calm and soaring stocks to generate ridiculous returns. In fact, he showed that you could - by departing from the mainstream - get even richer in times of turmoil. That's what makes this book - How I Cracked the Alpha Code - so important right now. Jim and I both agree: Unless radical change comes to Washington and Wall Street. Unless the Fed stops printing dollars by the ton every time the market blips. Unless our leaders can stop valuing consumption and debt over production and savings. Unless ALL of those happen soon, this great nation is headed for a massive financial and political disaster. It's inevitable. And it will make the crisis of 2008 look like child's play. Frankly, this American reckoning looks inevitable. It will have global implications for years to come. And I can think of no better way to prepare than to immerse yourself in Jim's crisis world. I believe it can do the same for you - in time to save your famiily's wealth from any crisis to come, and even make you richer along the way. Good investing, Robert Williams, Founder, Wall Street Daily, Baltimore, Maryland, 2016 - excerpt from the Foreword. "Wall Street legend and bestselling author Jim Rogers offers investing insights and economic, political, and social analysis, drawing on lessons and observations from his lifetime in the markets. Jim Rogers, whose entertaining account of his travels around the world - studying the markets from Russia to Singapore from the ground up - have enthralled readers, investors, and Wall Street aficionados for two decades. In How I Cracked the Alpha Code, Rogers offers pithy commentary from a lifetime of adventure, from his early years growing up as a naive kid in Demopolis, Alabama, to his fledgling career on Wall Street, to his confounding of the wildly successful Quantum Fund. In How I Cracked the Alpha Code, he takes us through the highlights of his life in the financial markets. Rogers offers often surprising observations on how the world works - and what trends he sees in the future. He explains why Asia will be a dominant economic force in the 21st century. He discusses why America and the European Union are in decline, and what we need to do to right our economy and society. Tomorrow's economy will be driven by those who make things - food, energy, goods, and consumables." - excerpt from the inner front and rear jacket flaps.
