    Hi Devilc8,

    At first I was a little surprised on the basis that great deals exist in all markets.

    However, on a closer read, I’d say that Kiyosaki was just returning to basics by saying that speculation on property gains is much riskier than investing for cashflow.

    When the market is booming there are more gains to be made by speculating, however this is not sustainable as the run will eventually end and those over exposed usually suffer significant losses.

    All in all though, it comes down to managing your portfolio and ensuring that you are using skill to underpin your profits rather than luck.

    What did you think of the article?

    Cheers,

    Steve McKnight

    As has been said before there is markets within markets and you cant generalize..Rich KIYOSAKI is still buying real estate, he’s just being a bit more choosy, maybe property has ‘peaked’ in his nick of the woods also..

    How about yourself Steve, your philosophy seems to have evolved as well??

    I found it interesting that Kiyosaki mentioned that the Australian government has decided to create a national program for teaching financial literacy to children.
    Does anyone know more about this? It’s the first I’ve heard of it.

    I’ve spoken to some teachers that claim they are teaching kids how to buy stocks.

    I think they are confused, they don’t teach anything about stop losses or risk management and without that in place, I would call it GAMBLING!!!

    I reckon one of the best learning things for kids is plain old monopoly. In our house (when dads not too tired)I think I get the biggest kick out of it. My kids are 10 , 8 & 6. Just seeing them get a buzz from it and watching their personality ……….. And hopefully no tantrums!!!!!
