Lastly, if you're still looking for a Father's Day gift, I have the perfect suggestion. Investment guru Jim Rogers (author of Investment Biker: Around the World with Jim Rogers, Adventure Capitalist: The Ultimate Road Trip and A Bull in China) has written a small volume of pithy advice. In fact, the title is almost longer than the book: A Gift to My Children: A Father's Lessons for Life and Investing. In this book, Rogers blends advice to his two young daughters with investment maxims. It's a wonderful explanation of the lessons Rogers wants to pass on to his family -- and to your family. Rogers explains why he and his wife are raising their daughters in Singapore -- and ensuring that they learn Mandarin! He uses his tales of traveling around the world by motorcycle and car to illustrate his investment advice. His simple, but important, instructions range from "Beware of all politicians, everywhere!" to "Remember who you are, and stay with it." This book is so unusual and so skillfully blends personal morality and investment wisdom that it's a great demonstration of respect and love from one generation to another. That's the best Father's Day gift you can give. And that's The Savage Truth.- Loading Comments...
