I'm not really sure what his point is other than that no matter what happens to the economy, the rich will be just fine. He says this as if all you and I have to do is decide to be rich. (Isn't that how easy he makes it sound anyway?)
I'm not even sure I should be writing this because I'm giving him much more of my attention than he deserves. Oh well I started so I might as well finish.
In the article he uses a friend of his who works at the New York Mercantile Exchange as an example of a successful person, which I'm sure he is. But what does he mean exactly with this line? For Steven, it didn't matter if the market was going up or down. He was busily buying and selling as he ran between the gold and crude oil pits. In less than an hour, he'd made over $70,000 in profits."
Yeah? So? In less than an hour he could lose more than $100,000. What's your point? Later at the end of the article he asks "One way to approach the coming changes is to ask yourself whether you'll be like my friend Steven Spivak -- trading rapidly, earning over $70,000 an hour -- or like that 19-year NYMEX employee, who's content to work for $70,000 a year at best."
Again what exactly is he saying? Speed makes money? Trade often and rapidly and you'll be rich? There were over 1,000 words in this latest article but he said nothing at all.
I'll save Robert some typing and tell you what he should have. The only person you can rely on to improve your finances is yourself. If you want to do better then get to work. Even though there isn't much of use in those two sentences it's more than Mr. Kiyosaki gave you.
