What Rich Dad's Guide to Investing is about
Robert T. Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter follow the New York Times bestsellers Rich Dad, Poor Dad and Rich Dad's CASHFLOW Quadrant with a guide focused on investing. His central claim is that the best investments never make it to market, and he sets out what the rich put their money into that the poor and middle class do not. He offers an insider's view of how wealthy investors find good opportunities, lays out Rich Dad's basic rules of investing and his 10 Investor Controls, and explains ways to reduce risk. He also shows how to turn earned income into passive and portfolio income. Sharon Lechter is named alongside him for the rules and methods. The tone is brash and motivational.
