Jim Rogers : Time to Invest in Myanmar

Jim Rogers : There’s no answer to your question. Most countries I already have some background in my poor brain because I have traveled lot, know a lot about the world. Myanmar started opening up recently. I drove through Myanmar ten years ago, and I have been watching Myanmar for a long time. It took me about eight minutes to figure out it was time to invest in Myanmar. But that eight minutes was based on lots of previous experience with that country and other countries. It was like back in college when I was asked by other classmates how many hours I was going to study for a test. I was perplexed because that’s not the way I do things. I studied until I thought I was ready, or studied all I could. I do things until they are done, or at least as far as I can. - in The Motley Fool
