    Default Robert Kiyosaki

    I have a few of his audio books and I'd be more than happy to upload them and post the links (if thats okay with the mods on the site) for you all to download.

    If I can do this and anyone wants to listen to them please let me know .

    Kiyosucki san would be pleased. No one wants your pirated tapes.

    BTW, they are FREE at the library, or can be bought for 50 cents at any used books store. Overpriced, I know.

    Agree. But he drills one point very well: To separate Assets and Liabilities. I wouldn't touch any of his books now, but seven years ago it was an 'aha' moment for me

    Again no book will make you wealthy or give you an exact path to riches. The best any book can do is provide you tools for your thinking and decision making. But you still have to do the hard work and suffer through the initial phase

    My "light and easy to read" book will.

    Merely send me $200 for the secret. You can then sell this information to all your friends who want to get rich too!

    As a fan of Wikipedia, this is exactly the kind of topic that you shouldn't use Wikipedia for. i.e. controversies and opinions about a person

    Having said that, except for Warren Buffett, Soros and some handful of popular names, I doubt any of the 'financial' advisors have beaten S&P 500.

    You know why Robert Kiyosaki is successful? Because much like Dr. Phil and Kevin Trudeau, he was smart enough to learn there's no shortage of feeble-minded people who want the easy way out, and are wiling to hand over any amount of their money for a good batch of snake oil. THAT'S how you generate "passive income".

    FFS, the man is selling a board game for $195. If it weren't illegal, pirating his audio books would almost seem fitting.

    $195 for you .. over$300 for me. Yeah. I was sucked into the whole Rich Dad, Poor Dad thing. I paid good money to get my hands on his board game here in Aust. and it costs over $300 (or at least around that price) to do so.

    Granted, I don't totally regret that decision as surprisingly enough I have learnt a few things from that board game by playing it.

    I find Jim Cramer to be quite good... though he reviews too many stocks, thus lessening his averages.

    Jim Rogers is good to listen to for long term trends. He's bang on nearly all the time.

    My dad also said to watch what a few lesser known successful people do as they are skilled at finding value... some names: Slim Helu, Jerry Zucker, David Dreman, etc...

    I also like sneaking a peak at my dad's copies of Hulbert's Financial Digest as he rates the top investment newsletters. There you get a good idea of who's been near the best for a long time.

    As for mr. Kiyosaki,

    I like do'ers, not guru's...

    Kiyosaki is lame. Although I will admit that plaing the cashflow boardgame when I was 21 or so is what finally made a bunch of investment concepts 'click' for me.

    Yes, all his investment philosophies can be boiled down to one sentence.

    "Buy Assets that produces Positive Cash flow". It is a simple, yet very powerful.

    Investing is not really complicated. It is just a matter of discipline. All your macro, global, political, derivatives, insider, sophisticated knowledge is worthless if you forget the basics and go against universal truths

    There are two types of people I see, who read Kiyosaki

    1. Self-motivated, enterprising, and entrepeneuarial people like Scarlett and Briney Ireland. They have taken pieces of knowledge from Kiyosaki, and others, and have turned it into action.

    2. The get rick quick scene. These people refute any negative opinion of R.S. as "you don't get it". They will never accomplish anything, but will spend all their money trying to get 'one over' the standard philosophies of save, invest, manage risk, continue to learn and educate yourself, etc...

    Edit: John Reed does have an agenda in his critique of RS. He is trying to shill his own books. So take his information with a grain of salt, like you should towards everything!

    Managing risk is the key. My brother asked me to manage his brokerage account for him. NO WAY! I have not problem risking my own money...but not someone elses!
