Jim Rogers on investing in China

When my generation was growing up, our parents warned us that China was the place where you would end up if you kept digging a hole in the sand.  It was the opposite end of the earth.  There are a lot of "experts" out there who still make a living frightening people about a country that was, in recent memory, our ideological enemy.  Investors should be cautious, but fear of the unknown and the foreign should not hold people back.  Now is not the time to stick our heads in the sand.
