Now I'm not trying to get in to the e-thugging... but ya seems inevitable.... anyway, zooloo is it? I think by specifics Vexer might mean examples of how you're "changing peoples lives" and "touching" them... got any community projects on the go? paying a few homey's rent? supporting a mom with a crack habit by dealing drugs? written any books lately? read any books lately? stuff like that... look you might be as good as you say you are, only time will tell but for real guy actions speak loudest and you actually doing yourself a disservice right now cos your attitude is turning people off enough to make them actively not want to give you a chance and unless you've already made millions you more than likely gonna need every fan you can get. Or are you going for the Bizarre syndrome.. you know the crew member nobody likes but tolerates cos they like the crew.
Btw i do happen to use "bollocks" in everyday conversation, and i know other people who do... relax its just a word.
Now I don't know Vexer and i certainly don't always agree with him, and Vex, guy sometimes your regard for Pac smacks of obsession for me and that makes me a lil uneasy, i just have trouble finding parity between your obvious sharpness and an almost fanaticism, but hey diffrent strokes and all. At this points it seems you boys are arguing just to argue and its not even amusing anymore.
You gotta realise you both talking at brickwalls (no offense briCK :wink: ) just leave it and ignore each other already, you're not gonna see eye to eye.
Anyway since this isn't actually the Financial Intelligence thread it relaes to both new entertainment and finance, About one of Kiyosaki's references to Trump as an example of a real estate mogul,... the fact that Trump lost more than 70% of his real estate empire and that side of his business is now worth only 4% more than his ex's (Ivana Trump) real estate development company, which is still basically a start-up, makes any advice Kiyosaki gives a bit dodgy, to me at least. Personally I've always felt like he's the kind of guy you gotta watch out the corner of your eye when you turn your back, just a bit of the charlatan about him, it makes it all too easy and he's very narrow with his exposition, he makes the right noises but doesn't actually fill the pot if you will. As for trump as a mogul, isn't it funny how to make ends meet, yup he doesn't wholly own any of the new developments which carry his name, he's had to resort to exposing himself as an object of ridicule in reality shows and the like, the latest laff fest of his being how he's now entering a wrestling challenge with Vince Mcmahon from WWE, the loser shaves his head... personally I reckon The Donald needs to do that anyway.
Best financial advice a layman can get or give, just like Dplanet said, get a good financial advisor and a diverse investment portfolio. At the same time don't always be the ignorant guy who just pays in the money and is perpetually ignorant of the process, educate yourself about how your money is working, I'm currently doing alot of reading on economics, corporate finance and stock trading and seriously do what you want about all current books purporting to give you the financial edge, The Theory of Games and Economic Behaviour by Morgenstern and von Neumann published in 1944 is the bible of modern finance and economics, this book is the route of the marriage of Game Theory and Economics and is where all the practices and principles of modern economics in the global political and hard money sense, originate.
