Is this guy legit or not so much when predicting the crash.

But what if he is correct? Don't go around crying that he didn't warn you.
I have stocked up on enough tuna, canned beans and other non-perishable food items to last my family of 5 for 9 months.

There will never be a crash like 1929 even again. This is for sure. Barring factors like the US going thru another Civil war.

You know how we know? The government has QE'd at least twice already in the last 15 years. The 2008 crash should have put America and the interlinked economies of the world in to the ground dead dead but instead that just ended up being a forced bottom and created the longest bull market in recent history.

All these billionaires are out saying it's going to be horrible the crash is coming it's coming. The End is nigh. etc etc. Creating all this FUD. Why?
Do you think they give 2 cents about the middle class etc?

Follow the money. They're shorting everything right now or before because indicators say to and they need things to crash so they win. When things are at their worse they'll paint a rosy picture because they've gone long. That decade plus bull run actually hurt them because they've gone short a couple times and were burnt when the market just busted to new ATHs. But don't feel too bad for them interest rates were super low.

It doesn't even take a conspiracy theorist for this level of crazy.
Take the comical tracking of Pelosi's trading positions.
Look at how Hedge funds had been performing in the last decade. Without volatility they had nothing to hedge. They could barely beat the S&P500 for periods.

If you are making financial decisions around free financial advice and analysis that should make you stop and think carefully about conflicts of interest, biases, and applicability. You are probably the product.

In many cases these people are pumping or shorting whatever subject they are discussing and you are the bag holder.

It's not enough just to avoid free advice - paid advisors can also be biased. What you need is independent advice. That's hard to find.

After the 2008 sub-prime mortgage collapse it was revealed that major investment firms were advising their paying clients to buy the junk securities they were holding while at the same time they were desperately trying to get rid of them. Needless to say, the firms and the advisors involved escaped prosecution for this illegal practice.

I really can't stand that guy.

And the posters who recommend his book.

Very much this.

The best time to enter the market is ASAP (time in the market > timing the market)

The next best time is when everyone is talking about a crash.

I don't understand these "buy high, sell low" types. What sense does that make?

The only time I'd suggest you not invest throughout this year is if you believe the market will never recover, or you know of a better investment.

Also, this guy is a tool and his book is overrated.

Only 5 to 9 months? Good luck! I have non perishables to last 5 years in my underground nuke proof bunker.

Yes but also try to dollar cost average down … increases your stake while minimizing risk. Agreed he is a tool though he gives horrible financial advice and he promotes indebtedness while raking it in on his book. If it were that simple he wouldn’t have to keep on pushing his book. Complete huckster.

Also, listen to what your gut says. I did, last November, when I ask my bank to renew early. I could, but by only 3 months (so I had to wait until January). Whatever the case, experts and my banker were telling me that variable was the best option, which I firmly declined. Just had a sense things would sour from that standpoint before my renewal. And they did. I am now a good 3% lower than any variable out there.

Same! Everyone said variable. Glad stuck with the fixed too.

Economists are great at explaining what's happening, but have unfortunately proven pretty much useless at predicting what will happen.

In fact, Economists are the experts explaining why what they predicted didn't happen.

Granted, there are still lots of things wrong with Kiyosaki's work, but you can fish out what is beneficial and what advice is there to ruin you by hooking you into his MLM seminars...
