The discussion forums of exchanges are lively every day.

When will the market rebound? Should we start buying the dip now? Are there still opportunities in certain markets? Everyone is arguing passionately. But have you noticed, the investors who really make big money are not focused on the K-line.

Take Jim Rogers, for example. This guy is no ordinary analyst—co-founder of Quantum Fund, partnered with Soros for a full 10 years, during which the fund achieved a return of 3365%. A figure standing shoulder to shoulder with Buffett and Soros.

Sounds impressive, right? But the key is that his later moves are even more extraordinary.

In 1999, he made a crazy decision: instead of staying in a Wall Street office, he drove around 116 countries, accumulating 245,000 kilometers of travel. Three full years. This wasn’t sightseeing; it was pure global investment research. He treated the Earth like a K-line chart, studying one country after another, one market after another.

He later wrote a book about this experience—*Adventure on Earth*.

That’s the difference. True investment masters never look at short-term fluctuations; they focus on global patterns and long-term trends.
