Jim Rogers on Investing in India: ‘If PM Modi Wins…’

Famous investor Jim Rogers said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has made several positive changes for the Indian economy. Rogers talked about his interest in investing in India during the Lok Sabha elections. He mentioned, “If Modi wins, I think the Indian stock market will stay strong. But if the stock market drops significantly, I would change my plan and start investing in India again.”

Discussing the impact of elections on the stock market, Rogers said in an interview with Mint, “I don’t expect a big market drop before the election, but if it happens, I would take the chance to invest more. I usually invest in countries when their markets are low.”

Rogers also praised India, saying he encourages everyone to visit. “I tell people around the world that if you can visit only one country, it should be India. It’s the most exciting place for tourists, with its food, languages, man-made sites, natural sites, and beautiful women who often win beauty contests. It is a fantastic country.”

He emphasized the value of traveling and exploring the world, stating, “I hope everyone gets to travel and see new places. Meeting different people and exploring other countries is a great learning experience, and it helps you understand yourself and your own country better.”

Rogers, who has inspired many, shared his best investment strategy: “The best strategy is to invest only in what you truly understand. Don’t rely on advice from the internet, TV experts, or other people’s opinions. Stick to what you know well. Everyone has knowledge about something, and if you invest in what you know, you are likely to be successful.”
