I went to a Robert Kiyosaki (Rich Dad Poor Dad) seminar

Last fall I went to a Robert Kiyosaki seminar on the stock market. It was a sales pitch for the 2.5 day seminar which taught you how to trade (puts, options, etc) using his software. One of Robert's sales associates ran it, and it was an overview of what the 2.5 seminar would be covering, as well as a "sample" of what you see. It came with a free gift, a flash drive which has selected chapters from his books. I was pleased with the seminar, and if I was going to play the market I would have signed up. My strategy is buy and hold gold/silver and wait for the crisis to bottom out. The free seminar included a pressure sale, where if you signed up immediately it was $500, and if you waited it was $1000.

I am a fan of Robert Kiyosaki because he is spreading truth about the financial system. I have gotten free information from him from his web site and youtube videos. His latest book "Conspiracy of the Rich" is like a condensed version of "The Creature from Jekyll Island" from an investing perspective. Moral of the book: gold and silver! His "Rich Dad Prophecy" is also key because it explains how the Baby Boomer retirements are going to seriously impact the markets,

I went to the seminar. It basically was a 90 minute sales pitch, for the 3 day seminar. You're right. It's probaby a 2.5 day seminar, and then half of the 3rd day, they will dedicate to UPSELLING you on MORE seminars, online coaching, cd-roms, etc. Yesterday, they said the seminar was only $199.00. I didn't sign up, because they also want to charge my credit card $39.00 a month, for access to some internet site with macd indicators, and stochastics, which are already FREE on Scottrade

@VeteransAgainstKonop Ahh, that makes sense, $199 for a cheap seminar but they hit you with the monthly fees!

I know the allow a free guest for somebody who signs up for the seminar... perhaps the thing to do is find somebody who is signing up, and then paying the $199 for them to let you be the guest so you don't have to have a monthly charge.

Nice little video there.......SilverFuturist. I'm going to the (same) Robert Kiyosaki / Rich Dad / Stock Market seminar - in about an hour, here in Columbus, Ohio. - Usually these types of seminars are just BIG sales pitches. I'm still going to go anyway, just for some kicks and the free door prize. They will probably put me on a list and send me literature and solicitations down the road. If you walk away from a seminar with even just a few ideas, for FREE, you did good. - See Ya'

@VeteransAgainstKonop Have fun! Looking back, I might have spent the $495 for the 2.5 day seminar... but if you don't sign up right away it costs $995!

@JustAnotherDisguise

Hasn't it already been established that "Rich dad" didn't exist? No one knows who he is in Hawaii, and Kiyosaki himself refuses to identify him. It is 100% confirmed without a doubt that the whole rich dad poor dad thing is made up, it doesn't mean he gives bad advice. Kiyosaki is just a snake oil salesman type, he tried different businesses and eventually found he could become rich by telling other how to become rich... oh the IRONY

No disrespect good sir, but I must say (and if I don't then I would feel that the 3 minutes I spent watching your video were unjustified and for naught) that you are quite the gullible puppet. I suggest you look into the con-scheme that they employ during their seminars. Again, with all due respect, you seem to be a gullible, misguided and rather fanatically confused consumer.But then again, if it wasn't for individuals such as your respectable self, these con-artists would be out on their asses

this guy says "he is a sales person.. he was sharp was very polished and entertaining. he moved it along and u can tell he was very trained very well..." pretty fucking trippy lol. he knows hes getting fucked, but he doesnt really fucking know. LOL

[moisesfermin]

what you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it.

[cwxzeng]

u sir... are an idiot....

[OccupyWallStreetSays]

Boy this guy is a sheep. He will end up broke like the rest of the sheep.

[justcallmeassinine]

@john5246 No real irony here.Good con-men have always been around to satisfy the sucker's lust for a quick buck and they do quite well at it.

Pay 500 dollars now or pay 1000 dollars later if you delay. Sounds like a variation on the Spanish Prisoner con.

@ChesterDoraemon

People not putting their own money down precisely what got the world into the mess its in right now. I don't leverage, not only would it blunt my already scant upside, it'd napalm me on the downside. That WOULD be a way of losing everything. Hell, I don't even keep all the money I have in trading in my account in case they decide to get cute & go MF Global on me. Makes me glad I'm unprofessional.

[ChesterDoraemon]

@TheKlink one of the things that annoys me are beginners and poor people who think they know everything and claim it is possible to make millions (I literally have dozens of poeple in mind as I say this) when they haven't even stepped knee deep in the shit. One guy lost his ass and still thinks he can become millionaire drinking koolaid from paid premium newsletters. You lose all at once or you get chipped away slowly thereby not only wasting money, but also time. The end result is the same.

[ChesterDoraemon]

@TheKlink appreciate your honesty. best of luck to you. I am a professional at this game. Trust me, the only ones winning on balance are the ones that ain't trading their own money.
