Everyone praises Jim Rogers. And despite that the general trend of what he says is correct, he is very often wrong. For example, i remember when he said in 1986 that there will never be another Democratic President ever again, because the party will self-destruct itself. He was also very negative on Russia, only to see Russian ETFs charge higher and higher. If you truly want to learn how to trade and time the markets in commodities, you should consider buying the books of Linda Raschke and Toby Crabel. They trade for a living and currently run successful hedge funds. Their writings are almost out of print at this point, but you may be able to find it on Ebay or Amazon.

Title doesn't say "anyone who wants to research their tail off"... but it should. I would have to be investing a large amount of money to invest such a large amount of time figuring this out. I don't have a ton of money. I do suppose the Rogers International Commodity Index is worth looking into.

Jim Rogers as a investment master give you an insight of commodities before you got lost in the formulas in financial textbook in schools. Actually I don't know how to invest in commodities after I sat-in some financial derivatives class in a university.

As someone with no prior knowledge about commodity markets this book was for me an excellent first step. Rogers is clear and approachable; he explains his approach to commodiities trading and ends the book with a series of examples that demonstrate his ideas in practice. Advice of this kind regarding specific commodities is out of date before the book is published, however, as demonstrations of method they are excellent. I've now moved on to Kleinman, which is a bit more in depth, but the foundation I've got from Rogers is proving invaluable. A great first step in commodities!
