Jim Rogers

James "Jim" Rogers (born 19 October 1942) grew up in Demopolis, Alabama, and got started in business at the age of five, selling peanuts. He got his first job on Wall Street, at Dominick & Dominick, in 1964 during the summer between College and Yale University. When he got the job he "didn't know anything" about Wall Street, he "didn't know the difference between stocks and bonds", he "didn't even know that there was a difference between stocks and bonds", but he "instantly fell in love" with that kind of work.
