World view - on the net ofcourse

Am reading Jim Rogers, Adventure Capitalist. One of the interesting things am noticing is the subtle way he has profiled the economy, opportunities and the country specific issues. This was written in 2003 and his earlier work "investment biker" written during 90's. Jim rogers is a god for some of the country specific calls that he took (like he bet on china and moved out of US and set base in Asia), which really paid off.

I thought we will do a rather less adventurous but more arduous "Net adventure" of following those very countries he visited and relook at them as of today.Two decades have passed since Investment Biker came out and that is time enough to figure out whether the promises have been delivered or has remain hollow.

we sill start with Iceland tomorrow.
