The Best way to Invest in China is to Buy the Renmimbi or Commodities

Jim Rogers : The Best way to Invest in China for my point of view is to buy the currency, the Chinese Renmimbi , it's getting easier and easier to buy it , the Bank of China is going around the world opening branches , I do not know if they have one in Austria yet , they certainly have them in some cities in Europe , in America and in Asia, the currency has been depressed whether it is artificial or not , it has been depressed for some time and in my view the Renmimbi will go higher , another way to invest in China , cause most people do not understand the Chinese companies or the Chinese language but at it is an even better way to invest in commodities , because the Chinese have to buy commodities , if you have cotton , they have to buy cotton , they will take you to dinner they will pay for the dinner they will pay their bills on time because the Chinese they have to buy cotton they have to buy nickel they have to buy oil ...etc ...so if Asia is going to continue to grow which obviously I think it is , buying commodities is one of the best ways (to invest in China ) - in RBS Conference Vienna Austria

Many people have been investing in the Australian dollar as a proxy for the RMB, since it is so driven by the sale of commodities to China.

However, it is increasingly straightforward to invest directly in Chinese companies as this overview suggests: http://countingpips.com/fx/2011/11/17/thinking-of-investing-in-chinese-stocks-how-to-get-started/

Who is Jim Rogers ?

James "Jim" Rogers was born in Oct. 19, 1942 and grew up in Demopolis, Alabama .Jim Rogers started trading the stock market with $600 in 1968.In 1973 he formed the Quantum Fund with the legendry investor George Soros before retiring, a multi millionaire at the age of 37. Rogers and Soros helped steer the fund to a miraculous 4,200% return over the 10 year span of the fund while the S&P 500 returned just 47%. They ran what is considered to be one of the first truly global macro hedge funds. . In 1964 he got his first job on Wall Street at Dominick & Dominick in the summer between high school and Yale University, that's how he got his first experience with stocks and bonds. He immediately fell in love with the job. After Oxford, he returned to the U.S. and joined the army in 1970 he returned to Wall Street, working again with Dominick & Dominick. That same year he joined Arnold S. Bleichroeder, where he met George Soros, and together founded the Quantum Fund. This has opened a new era of global macrotrading and inspired numerous imitations and spin-offs. In the book "Money Masters of Our Time," Jim Rogers writes about that time "the most important thing in my life was work. I did not do anything until I had completed my work." To emphasize this professional ethic , it is good to remember that he did not made any holiday for ten years. In 1980, Jim Rogers has decided to "retire" at 37 years. Since then he has spent much of his time traveling and supporting the causes of philanthropic and taking on many high profile roles in the media.
