    Whilst I cant stand Johnny rotten, The liberals have done a good job overall on the economy……

    Latham, sounds good etc, but I just don’t know what he’s really going to do if he gets into power…..

    Either way we are screwed, but I think the Libs may be safer for us all…..

    I guess the other question is, will Costello make a play for power, and, would he be any better than john howard ??

    Still, it’s not the sort of conduct that can be condoned…. AND it further tars wrappers…..

    The sooner we get some regulation, the better…..

    Whether this issue- dodgy gurus- has been discussed before or not… there’s always new people coming onto the Forum, and people can have access to all kinds of info.

    Um, yeah, but most of the 44 points are rubbish…. things that John Reed cant understand…..

    Discussed before or not…. and your point is ??? All posts are here, and searchable…..

    Peter,

    Thanks for a most comprehensive response…..

    Another person who keeps popping up, when I read / listen to interviews is Deepak Chopra….

    As well as my reading, I’m also listening to conversations with Millionaires by Mike Litman. ( when are they interviewing you ?? [blush2] )

    BTW – would you know if your publishers are distributing your books overseas ?? I’m having trouble getting them in Singapore….. [annoyed] My last resort is the ‘ol “relative express” ( get the folks to carry it up for me….. )

    I know this is going to sound stupid, but I have to say, from what I have read of your postings so far, you have gained another fan….. It’s been good to find somebody who obviously gets it, replies with honesty, and, without the hype….

    I look forward to getting to meet you one day.

    I Think we can say that John T Reed is America’s version of Neil Jenman…..

    Striking fear into people so that he can sell his own products / systems……

    A new question for you Peter,

    I assume you have read a few books in your time on investing etc…..

    Which Book or Author has most influenced your way of thinking ???

    Cheers

    Peter,

    Unfortunately some people get too tied up with the minute details of a book….. Thinking it’s a HOW TO book instead of a HOW I DID IT…..

    And the funniest thing about it is…. very often they are the people who are yet to be truely wealthy….. Everyone does things differently….. it’s about MINDSET…..

    Assuming Kiyosaki’s rich dad is not real, I would applaud you for being honest and open about it….. even though it’s a moot point……

    Cheers

    Scott

    PS – Did you know none of the bookshops in Singapore have your books….. Looks like I’ll have to get some sent up….. am currently expanding my library…..

    Next on the reading list :

    1. Think & grow Rich – Napoleon Hill
    2. Richest man in babylon
    3. Wealth Magic + yr new book….
    4. Creating Wealth – Robert Allen

    This whole issue has been discussed before…. and even John T Reed “DON’T GET IT…”

    It’s about the principles / philosophy’s of investing….. Do we REALLY care about RICH DAD being real or not ??? I certainly dont…. it’s the lessons on life / wealth and investing that I care about, and they HAVE DEFINITELY helped…..

    IT’s THE MESSAGE YOU DUMMY !!! not the point by point fact breakdown….. simply put many of John Reed’s comments also dont add up…..

    Dolf De Roos gets a “roasting by association” because he’s linked to Kiyosaki…..

    We all have different paths to follow…. Some people forget that a lot of the books, even Steve’s, are not “HOW TO” they are “WHAT I DID” along with some guiding words to help you start your own journey….

    Each to his own….. we are all different….. it’s often what we take from the many books that guides us to invest & live the way we do….. Do I want to be mini-Steve ?? NO…. I want to do things my way…… Did Steve / Rick Otton / Robert Allen / Dolf De Roos / Peter Spann / Napoleon Hill / others help me…… Sure did…

    I rest my case…… DOH !!!

    Just a quick question,

    If I read the latest book, will I miss much from the first book ? i.e. are they a part 1 / part 2 kind of thing, or is the new book more of an update/expansion to Wealth Magic…

    BTW – a small plug for another good book to read… Mike Litman – Conversations with Millionaires…… interesting discussions…..

    As a wrapper I’d say both….. for the following reasons :

    1) was a bit excessive, BUT it SHOULD have been disclosed
    2) unforgivable…

    For the record we wrap with full disclosure…. to banks AND customers….

    Delboy, by all means go for the lo-doc 95-100% loans, but just be aware that once you have 1.5 mill worth of property insured, you wont be able to get any more LMI in your/company name……

    Obviously going 80/20 avoids that, but, yes, it does tie up your funds……

    NEWGEN,

    So Sorry to hear of yor troubles…..

    Just a thought…. If you have his mobile, maybe you should ring him up, saying you forgot to give him a CD/CASE/CABLE/DRIVE for the laptop, and can you meet him to give it to him ???

    IF he goes for it, simply advise the cops, and, hopefully you get to catch the guy…..

    Just a thought….. He doesn’t know YOU know the cheque is fake….. you could simply tell him, you have been busy and are going to bank next week…..

    Just a crazy thought…. but… maybe…. worth a try ??/ who knows…..

    anyway…. I wish you some GOOD LUCK from now on… you deserve some….

    Chin up…..

    Colio,

    Sad to say you have missed my point……

    It’a about you LEARNING how to do it……so that long term you can become successful in your own right…

    There’s an old saying, which maybe explains it for you :

    Give a man a fish, you feed him for the day….. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime……

    I sincerely hope you get to learn how to do it yourself so, that one day when you have the time, you can run with the business………

    Colio,

    Do you work for Richmastery ???

    You seem to be very one-sided…..

    So, are you saying you’d rather pay someone $5000 to find a deal that may take 1-2 years to pay off the fees charged, before you earn a profit ???

    Come on…. If you want to be a real investor, then you need to get out there and find your own deals…… It’s all part of the education process……

    The only posts I have seen from you so far have been in support of Richmastery….

    Button is now in danger, as, IF the contract recognition board rule against his move, he’ll lose his super licence….

    exit stage right, career over……..

    IF he does make it to Williams, I still feel that Webber will be faster than Jenson……

    Wallflower,

    Bluetooth is also for connecting devices together, but is not used for network or connecting to the Internet as such….

    You’d use bluetooth on your laptop to connect to your mobile phone, to then dial the net……

    Bluetooth only has a 20m range as well….. and not all laptops have it…. but wireless lan IS in most new laptops now…..

    cheers
