Comments on: The NYT exposé on a financial scammer http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/blog/the-nyt-expose-on-a-financial-scammer/ Personal finance blog for college students, recent graduates and everyone else -- including entrepreneurship -- for getting rich. Featured in the Wall Street Journal and New York Times.

The majority of them are based off his first two. Real estate is made out to be some sort of easy investment. Sure...to get in! The hard part is getting out. Its so much easy to sell shares of a mutual fund or stock than it is to sell a house. Read John T Reed's info on his take of Robert Kiyosaki. I'd imagine Suze Orman will be on it soon. After seeing the current information she has put out, I'll never get married. Don't listen to these "guru" people. Put your money into an index based mutual fund and you'll be just fine. If you have a lot of money, and I mean a lot, go into real estate since its more beneficial for the tax advantages it throws off. And never day trade stocks!

I went to read the article so that I could write about it for my site, but found myself more struck by the mentality of the students than by Whitney's sliminess. Yes, he's slimey, but the people at his seminars need help. I'm in the middle of a protracted rant that I hope to post tomorrow... Wow, Ramit. Amazing find.

It was mainly about Reed and I think it was worth reading. There was an article about Whitney suing Reed in the (San Fracnisco Area) East Bay Express.

My girlfriend and I watched some of the PBS special together and determined that Suze is turning into quite the charlatan. Her new material is filled with gender stereotypes that supposedly reveal why women have a bad relationship with money. It's what I would expect from Dr. Phil or that idiot who wrote 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus', but not someone formerly credible like Suze.
