If you were to meld “The Warren Buffet Way�Â? and Ã¢ÂÂFinding Your Way without Map or Compass,Ã¢Â? you might end up with something like Investment Biker. There's the adventure of the motorcycle ride around the world coupled with the journalized thoughts of a man observing the world around him using all of his senses, experience, and instincts to navigate through investment opportunities. Rogers analyzes the value of markets of nations rather than specific stocks.
