RG Allen Accolade

Hi,

Just back after some extended time away writing book #2.

Trusted… hmmm… trust needs to be earned on a person by person basis. Still, in my case, I’d say it has been as his Bob Allen’s investing strategies have made me a lot of money. His marketing techniques may seem strange to Australians, but that is because he applied a US based approach to our market only to find that it didn’t work as expected.

I thought much of what was written about him came from ignorance in an attempt to gain publicity rather than objective analysis.

Some – but the biggest leanring for me came from looking at the business side to investing rather than treating it as a gathering of random assets. To understand this you need to draw a distinction b/w an investing business and the business of investing. Having an investing business means automated as much as possible, and Bob Allen’s info helped me to understand and then profit from his information.

In respect to his r/e stuff, many of his books contain good ideas which I’ve absorbed or tailored into my own approach with good results.

Overall – credit where credit is due.

Bye,

Steve McKnight
