Robert Kiyosaki
Rich Dad Poor Dad
Robert Kiyosaki, author of Rich Dad Poor Dad - the international runaway bestseller that has held a top spot on the New York Times bestsellers list for over six years - is an investor, entrepreneur and educator whose perspectives on money and investing fly in the face of conventional wisdom. He has, virtually single-handedly, challenged and changed the way tens of millions, around the world, think about money.
OVER 6 YEARS ON THE NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER LIST!
- November 2007 -
In communicating his point of view on why 'old' advice - get a good job, save money, get out of debt, invest for the long term, and diversify - is 'bad' (both obsolete and flawed) advice, Robert has earned a reputation for straight talk, irreverence and courage.
Rich Dad Poor Dad ranks as the longest-running bestseller on all four of the lists that report to Publisher's Weekly - The New York Times, Business Week, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today - and was named "USA Today's #1 Money Book" two years in a row. It is the third longest-running 'how-to' best seller of all time.
Translated into 51 languages and available in 109 countries, the Rich Dad series has sold over 27 million copies worldwide and has dominated best sellers lists across Asia, Australia, South America, Mexico and Europe. In 2005, Robert was inducted into Amazon.com Hall of Fame as one of that bookseller's Top 25 Authors. There are currently 26 books in the Rich Dad series.
In 2006 Robert teamed up with Donald Trump to co-author Why We Want You To Be Rich - Two Men - One Message. It debuted at #1 on The New York Times bestsellers list.
Robert writes a bi-weekly column - 'Why the Rich Are Getting Richer' - for Yahoo! Finance and a monthly column titled 'Rich Returns' for Entrepreneur magazine.
Prior to writing Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert created the educational board game CASHFLOW 101 to teach individuals the financial and investment strategies that his rich dad spent years teaching him. It was those same strategies that allowed Robert to retire at age 47.
Today there are more that 2,100 CASHFLOW Clubs - game groups independent of the Rich Dad Company - in cities throughout the world.
Born and raised in Hawaii, Robert Kiyosaki is a fourth-generation Japanese-American. After graduating from college in New York, Robert joined the Marine Corps and served in Vietnam as an officer and helicopter gunship pilot. Following the war, Robert went to work in sales for Xerox Corporation and, in 1977, started a company that brought the first nylon and Velcro 'surfer wallets' to market. He founded an international education company in 1985 that taught business and investing to tens of thousands of students throughout the world. In 1994 Robert sold his business and, through his investments, was able to retire at the age of 47. During his short-lived retirement he wrote Rich Dad Poor Dad.
"We go to school to learn to work hard for money. I write books and create products that teach people how to have money work hard for them." -- Robert Kiyosaki

Mike Maloney
A Bull In China
Michael Maloney is the founder and owner of GoldSilver.com, a global leader in gold and silver sales and one of the world's most highly regarded investment education companies since 2005. He is author of the best selling precious metals investment book of all time, Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver, published in 2008.
Mike Maloney was born in Willamette, Oregon, and spent most of his youth in the Los Angeles area. He is a life-long inventor and entrepreneur. At age 17 he traveled all over the U.S. selling mini-bikes and go-karts.
By age 23, Mike founded the sales firm of Michael Maloney & Associates, growing it to five employees and two branch offices. He became a designer and manufacturer of high-end stereo equipment that won several engineering and industry awards. In 1992 his designs were selected as one of five permanent exhibits for display at the opening of the 20th century design wing of the royal Victoria & Albert museum in London, the world's greatest design museum. "That's about the time I had my first up close and personal encounter with economic cycles," Mike says.
In 1992, the U.S. economy was in recession, and the market for luxury audio equipment quickly dried up. To make matters worse, a real estate bubble had burst, and the home Mike then owned dropped 60 percent in value. Still he managed to stay in business and in 1998 launched a trade show for his industry, which grew to become a successful business.
In 2000, Mike was given the responsibility of managing his family's estate. He decided to trust a professional financial planner to manage the investments. The results were disastrous, and for two years Mike watched the value of his family's investment portfolio plummet. So he fired the planner and began to educate himself.
"I soaked up the information like a sponge," he recalls. "I studied every evening for five or six hours, and all day long on weekends." Delving into financial markets, U.S. and global economics, Mike discovered a passion for monetary history, devouring dozens of books and thousands of web pages. He discovered that the same economic patterns, or cycles, kept repeating over and over throughout history, from ancient times to modern day.
One recurring cycle, the inflation and subsequent crash of currencies, always ended the same way with the return to the safe haven of gold and silver. From his years of studying, it became apparent to Mike that the global currency system was at a point where it was about to happen again only at an intensity that would be magnitudes greater, due to the size of our modern global economy.
With that newfound understanding, Mike invested his family's wealth 100% in gold and silver, and remains 100% invested in them today.
Several years ago, Mike met financial educator Robert Kiyosaki, author of the "Rich Dad, Poor Dad" series, and was invited to speak at one of Kiyosaki's seminars. That experience inspired Mike to share his understanding of economic history and recurring "wealth cycles" with others, so that they, too, would have the ability to secure their wealth and their families' futures against the certain future crash of the global currency system. He began speaking at investment seminars all over the world. After founding GoldSilver.com in 2007, he began work on his book, Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver. In 2010 he launched WealthCycles.com as another forum with which to help educate and empower others to benefit from history's greatest wealth transfer.
"For 2,400 years as people have lost faith in fiat currencies, they have turned to 'real money,' gold and silver," Mike says. "Today the stage is set for a world-wide 'gold rush' to the safe haven of precious metals just when supplies of those metals are precariously low. The opportunity for those who position themselves in precious metals ahead of the crowd is like none we will see again in our lifetimes."
Dr. Ron Paul
ronpaul.org
Congressman Ron Paul of Texas enjoys a national reputation as the premier advocate for liberty in politics today. Dr. Paul is the leading spokesman in Washington for limited constitutional government, low taxes, free markets, and a return to sound monetary policies based on commodity-backed currency. He is known among both his colleagues in Congress and his constituents for his consistent voting record in the House of Representatives: Dr. Paul never votes for legislation unless the proposed measure is expressly authorized by the Constitution. In the words of former Treasury Secretary William Simon, Dr. Paul is the "one exception to the Gang of 535" on Capitol Hill.
