    Very informative lens. I saw Jim Rogers profiled on 60 minutes years ago, but his investment savvy left a permanent impression on me.

    I have been following Jim Rogers for the past couple of years. He has a lot of wisdom in his investment strategy.

    Sadly the science of economics has fallen off as you were mentioning that you have to assume so many things that it isn't real. Also you are right on the crowd mentality Buffet and Graham call it Mr. Market the Manic Depressant.

    I'm all about dividend stock investing in big, blue-chip companies. Seems like a sensible way to invest in the market.

    Well. Hmmm, that is surely a deep topic ... I have now put my button nose to the grindstone, hoping to create some wealth ... and hoping to maintain the integrity of said button nose! You know?

    Good lens. I tend to agree with you. The near future looks like a big storm is brewing.

    Thank you for this lens. It's important to plan ahead with investing so that you make returns instead of waiting for ages and then only remembering to invest years later and thus have missed out on years of capital growth.

    I enjoy reading your lense as it is not just about making money but a more in-depth look into what we take for granted. I am intrigued by BFU.

    Excellent lens on the daily stock market, the size of the world stock market was estimated at about $36.6 trillion US at the beginning of October 2008, with the global recession coming to an end, things are beginning to look bright, especially in less developed nations where their own markets witnessed big shocks.

    At this point I think there is great danger - the markets have moved up quickly, but the longterm outlook is still dour. There may be a bit of upside left in the immediate future, but there is huge risk of a major drop, at any time. I don't think we will see the end of the tunnel for years, any light in the tunnel before then may be a train roaring toward us. Be very cautious.

    Kevin, You are so right. Wealth is created through specialization in an area where you have deep knowledge. Wealth is preserved by diversification; by country, asset class, and time to maturity, etc.

    I think it's about sticking to what you know. I made good money speculating in cattle back home. However my Grandpa lost his fortune in the twenties stock exchange crash and this has put our family off that line forever and a day. It's hard to begin again when you have lost everything, are out of work and getting old.

    Quite an extensive lens. Thanks for the info

    I do believe that starting small is the way to go. You see it everywhere - people looking for quick and big profits - and I think that is what has led to so many of our problems today (even on the internet with so many people believing in get rich quick schemes).

    I had a wonderful economics teacher in high school. I still remember one of his best lectures. The whole gist of it was that we needed to take a close look at what our parents and grandparents had. Then look at how long it took them to get there. Then think about what we expected to have when we graduated from high school. The point was, that things like houses and jobs and cars (and finances) come slowly and with work. Nothing is instant and no one should feel "entitled" to what anyone else has unless they are willing to put in the time and effort that they did. Slow and steady wins the race.

    We were just discussing this with our kids the other night. They were amused to hear about what their parents first apartment was
