    corporate bankruptcy doesnt mean he is a bankrupt, it is just one of his many companies

    That is a smart move. Just like what happen to all the developers who will set-up individual company to build houses. Any legal tussle will not affect the parent company.

    it is the end of his career ... this kind of sell book author, most important is reputation / image ... it is worthless

    frankly speaking there is nothing special about his books, he simply put investment 101 into an interesting brand called rich dad, poor dad

    in fact, I have read 10X much better investment theory for free ... if you even can understand it

    but at the end, it is the execution that matters, you have to put the theory to work
    Ride at your own risk !!!

    It also depends on the timing of executing his theory. I am glad that I have benefitted from it.

    isn't timing part of any investment theory so he never talks about timing lol

    in day trading, timing is everything, in HFT, timing is in terms of nanoseconds

    his is not even theory ... theory must be something fresh and profound

    Why would his reputation get hurt just because one of his many company folds? Company liquidation is an everyday affair and he sees no point paying up $26 million and if he can save on that amount and continue with his book business elsewhere, why not? I think anybody would do the same.

    I agree with phantom on execution. Seen too many people with so much solid theory but
    1. Procrastinate
    2. Dare not execute
    3 the most sad is no money to execute.

    The last is really a sad case. That why I told myself, must earn big bucks first, then can start playing. But life is a mockery on its own. We control our destiny.

    I actually enjoy phantom's post. Very mind provocative.

    It is so common in us to file chapter 7 and chapter 11.

    In this case chapter 7 in my opinion is the best!

    In order to show this Robert Kiyosaki book is not worth much, let me give u an example quote from George Soros:

    "Unfortunately, the more complex the system, the greater the room for error."
    "The hardest thing to judge is what level of risk is safe."

    ... if you apply the above quotes to Singapore property market right now which is very complex due to CMs and MAS ruling ... then you should pay attention to the 2nd quote

    Enough said ... tCSS:

    You with the sad eyes
    Don't be discouraged
    Oh I realize
    It's hard to take courage
    In a world full of people
    You can lose sight of it all
    And the darkness there inside you
    Makes you feel so small

    But I see your true colours
    Shining through
    I see your true colours
    That's why I love you
    So don't be afraid to let them show
    Your true colours
    True colours are beautiful,
    Like a rainbow
    Ride at your own risk !!!

    This part I have been doing. Sometimes people get too much conflicting info and getting confused. So the analytical part is not honed enough. The worst is when things changes and they refuse to align.

    But I have true respect on your capability to find info and digest it. Not many have this ability because of laziness.

    Cheers

    Actually a lot of these books are saying almost the same stuff, rich dad is just saying it from a different perspective.
