Jim Rogers is an American investor who first made it big in the financial world in 1970 when he co-founded Quantum Fund. A life-long world traveler, Rogers, now at 65 years old, is nowhere near retirement and has recently moved to Singapore to be closer to the Asian market. His latest financial strategy is centered on investing in China, and it's all in his new book A Bull in China: Investing Profitably in the World's Greatest Market. I spoke with Jim Rogers during his recent trip to Beijing about his new book and investment ideas.

He has come up with and carried out such crazy ideas as posing as a teenager in high school for a documentary film and creating his own currency, the EGO. All these tales are told in his book Ideas Man, an account of his adventures and misadventures in pursuing his creative vision. He has recently been brainstorming with Dominic Johnson-Hill, owner and designer behind Beijing's t-shirt brand Plastered and will be performing at the shop's two year anniversary party this Friday, May 9th. I caught up with Shed Simove to talk about what else? Ideas.
