If you clicked this article thinking I was serious, then I strongly advise you to take notes as you read through this piece.

The title of this article, is, never has been and never will be something I will claim to teach you because as much as I know about business and investments, I can tell you there are no secrets, unless you consider hard work a secret.

Rather than the title to my own article, this title is the common theme used by the investment gurus; you know, the marketing clowns plastered all over TV and the Internet, preying on the desperate and broke.

In the past, I've discussed cheeseball marketers. These are the guys who lie, deceive and use other tactics to make the sheep think they will lead you to easy riches.

Note that Donald trump and Robert Kiyosaki wrote a book together a few years ago. Why? because they wanted to team up their cheeseball marketing to suck more sheep into their trash bin, while making themselves wealthy.

Today, I ran across an ad that I just had to bring to your attention.

Robert Kiyosaki, one of the biggest marketers of dreams around is now claiming he predicted the market crash!   

This is obviously a big fat lie.

I want to emphasize that this is a man that you need to stay far away from.  He is a complete joke, like the other guys who spend most of their time marketing. 

Please have a look at an analysis of this cheeseball. It comes from a reputable man in my opinion.

http://johntreed.com/Kiyosaki.html

Kiyosaki is clueless about investments and doesn't even have any expertise in his claim to fame, real estate.

The fact is that Kiyosaki has only made money from the sheep who spent their money on his sales pitch. 

Funny how Kiyosaki timed his ad right when the market sold off hard last week, huh. 

Let me tell you what Kiyosaki is up to. See, he has been reading material from the doomer crowd...you know, the extremist marketers like Schiff, Roubini and Faber, as well as their followers (which can be found all over the Internet). 

The man can't even come up with flawed forecasts of his own!! He has to steal the useless trash of others. 

Have a look at this recent article, which is SO behind the curve and even largely wrong that it truly reveals what he is up to.  http://finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/richricher/211091

So how did he even get big?  First, understand that one of the requirements to hit the masses (and thus get mass media exposure) is that you have to support a big industry. Robert advocated get-rich-quick schemes in real estate; obviously this was a boost to the real estate industry.

But that's not enough. You need a boost from someone in the media with a huge sheep audience; enter Oprah center stage. This woman is completely irresponsible and has been responsible for launching the careers of more scam artists thany anyone in history. Once you get on Oprah, you'll become an instant millionaire because so many sheep watch her trash.

So what can you do to stop this kind of deception?  

First, click the "Ad Feedback" link and tell Yahoo! what you think. If the ad is no longer on Yahoo!'s home page, simply google "Kiyosaki workshop" or "Kiyosaki predicted the crash." You get the idea.

Next, contact the Attorney General and filing a complaint of fraud. Kiyosaki did NOT predict anything. 

If you don't realize these marketing clowns are complete bozos, God help you.

 

 

And now, an example of how the media partners and promotes these lying scam artists.

When are people going to wake up?  

Again, let me be clear. Kiyosaki is an IDIOT. He has no idea about investments. And he made all of his money selling people the delusion that they can make easy money. 

Today, after seeing how so many people have caught onto what a scam artist Kiyosaki is, he now hunts around online and reads what people like me and others are saying, takes notes and preaches it as if he did the research, as if he came up with his ideas. 

As the facts show, Kiyosaki was pumping real estate well into the collapse. Then once he realized it was all over, he suddenly declared himself an expert in the stock market because that was where the action was. People were looking for answers, good advice. And Robert had the media distribution. And the sheeps lined up again.

This is the reality. And if you don't see that, you will be the source of your own financial demise.

Now if after watching this hack video from Time, if you haven't committed yourself to NEVER again spending a dime on any media publication (including cutting your cable TV since the media gets a share of your monthly bill), then don't run to me asking for investment guidance because you are part of the problem. Everyone who remains an audience of the media and these epiphany gurus maintains demand for them. Without demand, there would be no supply.

When I see this trash, it makes me want to puke. Yes Robert, teach me how you got rich...by selling the dream of getting rich to desperate sheep. 

Apparently, now Kiyosaki has another useless epiphany book targeting the sheep, discussing some conspiracies of rich people, as if they have some special secrets. Ironically, Kevin Trudeau, the king of infomercials came out with a similar book.

It's amazing how gullible most people are. Do you not see how the media is in the business of screwing you? Whether it's lying and covering up for Wall Street or pumping up infomercial idiots, if you continue to pay attention to the media, you deserve to get screwed.

You will be much better off shutting yourself off from the media. That is my professional opinion.  Now ask yourself how often I'm wrong.  One thing is for certain. It's more acceptible (and easier) for a person to be wrong about predictions than it is analyzing something you see in front on your face. 

Listen folks. It doesn't take a genius to realize everything I'm telling you here is 100% true. It takes an idiot to think that it's not. If you are an idiot, it's time to wise up. Everyone is a sheep for a good part of their life. There are many things I'm still naive about. But the difference is that:

#1... I realize this so I am very careful about things I have not researched

#2... I am constantly desheeping myself

There's no reason why you can't do the same. 

It's mind-boggling how many people hold Kiyosaki as a mentor. Let me be clear. They are complete idiots and surely still as broke as they were before running across Kiyosaki (excluding the small statistical odds of them doing well even regardless of Kiyosaki). 

Once you really dig deep and see how the other side plays the game, you just might be shocked how begin to spot scam artists so easily. This applies to everything, whether it's the investment newsletter crowd, the get-rich gurus, the stock trading infomercial, or anything else.

By no means am I a genius, but one does not need to be in order to feel the frustration of living in a society filled with mostly with gulliable suckers.  There has and will always be big money for those who build a business telling lies and selling hope because the market for scams will always be large due to the flaws in human nature.

The best part about these scam artists is that they don't even have to deliver. After all, it's impossible for them to deliver. All they have to do is convince you that they've shown you the way. And when you fail to succeed, instead of realizing you were scammed, these gurus have programmed you to always blame yourself. And they're right. It's your fault for ever buying into their scams to begin with.  

Hell, selling hope is what got Obama elected.  And as we now see, hope is the last thing he has delivered. Yet, millions are still in the dark.
