He told us How to buy stock: buy it if you want to own the business, never sell; How to short stock: when you know the business and detect a trouble balance sheet.

On the stock market, think of it as a ecosystem. All players have a position in the food chain. All the big shots are the top predators. Small investor could easily fall prey to them. The only chance you can win in this game is cut your loss short. Think of it like choosing between feeding your finger to lions or feeding your whole arms or legs, even your whole torso. If and ONLY if you can survive the game of “cut loss short”, can you patiently find a chance to pounce the table when times comes. How many people do you think can they survive this brutal game? not many, I guess. That is why mark urge you to stay away from investing in stock.

It’s the very reasons you state that I have been hesitant about investing in the market. However, I have a unique problem (and not complaining): I recently won my state’s lottery for 6mil (not a huge jackpot, but I should do alright with strategic financial planning) so far I’ve bought a nice house (1 and a quarter acre) and have several money market accounts, CDs and an IRA. Most of these can be liquidated quickly if a nice real estate investment deal comes along. I still don’t feel that these are the wisest venues for the money (I took the cash option–2.8mil) but as with most lottery winners, I have no real experience with investing. Any advice? (I won’t hold anyone responsible for bad advice!!)

I think every person should the basic book on financial literacy, Rich Dad Poor Dad, which if you haven’t read it, go the library and do so as it spells out the differences between the rich and the poor/middle class. I am, by the way, not associated with this company at all. Anyways this book details the differences in thinking between the rich and those not rich. Read it.

Concerning stock plays, one strategy that no one has mentioned, perhaps out of not having any idea what it is, is writing covered calls. Substantial monthly cash flow can be generated using this method. It the one strategy that EVERYONE should learn about when looking to invest in the stock market. Many books can be found about this play. Read them and your view on the stock market and investing in it may change.

The book is very short on specifics and any information it does provide is questionable. Several references on how to invest your money are presented inaccurately. For example, setting up REIT (Real Estate Investment Trusts) which it makes sound easy to do for john doe investor but really aren’t.

A quick internet search will turn up sites refuting Kiyosaki and an excellent example is http://www.johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html

I urge anyone reading the Rich Dad/Poor Dad series to do some research on your own to see how realistic the principles Kiyosaki preaches are.

1)The Millionaire Next Door
2)The Millionaire Mind

(both by Thomas Stanley)

“Readers with an entrepreneurial turn of mind will devour The Millionaire Mind because it provides road maps on how millonaires found their niches” (back cover…USAToday quote)

BTW. I was just going to publish that link above (about Kiyosaki) by Larry L. Johnson…beet me by seconds.

I am a firm believer in thinking for one’s self. The arguments that are presented on the website are, in my opinion, very weak. If anyone wants me to comment on them, I have no problem doing so, whether I agree or disagree, all I ask is to provide me with the specific arguments you would like my opinion on. There are a lot on there so it would take me a long time to write about all of them.
