Bond investors are considered some of the smartest investors around. But today bonds are paying some of the lowest returns in history—like 0%. How is investing for a 0% return smart?

The government can’t use investor money for free forever. Interest rates will rise, and when they do, what will become of the bond market? The stock market too?

"Millions of people and institutions look to the bond markets of the world to park their money. They must know something I don’t. It’s a mystery to me why someone would put money in a US Treasury bond for zero percent interest. Would someone explain this to me? Aren’t bond investors supposed to be the smartest of all investors?"

– Excerpt from Robert’s Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin

In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki discusses the future of the bond and stock markets, and what it means for you—and your money.

Recently, President Obama signed into law historic health care reform legislation…but what will history remember it for? Will it help or hurt the poor and middle class it’s meant to help? In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki explores the implications of the health care bill for you and your money.

"As an entrepreneur and employer, this new healthcare bill affects how I look at and evaluate every employee. As employee costs go up, taxes increase, and business slows, I’m forced to let more workers go as well as hire more slowly and carefully."

A lot of people put their faith in Obama and the government to save them and the economy. But can Obama really save the world?

In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki explains why Obama is powerless to save the world—and reveals who’s really in control.

"I began writing COR before Senator Obama became President Obama. At the time, he was hailed as a savior, the president that was going to make things right, and was swept into office with very high approval ratings. Today, his ratings are down, even after winning the healthcare reform issue. Why?"

Most people think their cash is money. But the reality is that it’s debt. This is confusing for normal people – and for good reason.

In the second installment of his series on “Why This Crisis Doesn’t Make Sense to Normal People,” Robert Kiyosaki explains why your banker wants you to use your credit cards and spend your savings–and why understanding the system will help you win as others lose financially.

All of the paper money in your wallet or bank account is really debt. In earlier times, paper money was backed by gold or silver. After 1971, money became an IOU from the government. Today, money doesn’t exist unless someone borrows money."

Seems like things are going from bad to worse in today’s economy. Have you ever wondered why?

In the latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki explores why yesterday’s entitlement programs, used to solve the Great Depression, are now leading the charge to a New Depression—and widening the gap between the rich and the poor.

"If you’ve read COR, you know that trying to save poor people only creates more poor people. Every time the government prints more money, the rich get richer and the gap between the rich and everyone else increases."

The phrase that keeps the economic world running: The full faith and credit of the United States.

Unfortunately, that phrase is increasingly empty and hollow.

In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki explores why Moody’s is ready to downgrade the US credit rating—and what that means for you and your money.

"Being downgraded is like taking a hit to your FICO score. If you have a poor FICO rating, you pay more for your debt. If the US doesn’t improve its own financial standing and the interest rates on our debt increase as a result, the US will suffer."

Rich Dad always said, “There are two sides to every table.” In order to understand this financial crisis, you have to understand your banker’s point of view.

In the first installment of his series, “Why This Crisis Doesn’t Make Sense to Normal People”, Robert Kiyosaki explains why your banker doesn’t want your savings – he wants your debt – and tells you why knowing this simple truth is essential to not only survive but also thrive.

"For people who believe in the old rules of going to school, getting a job, working hard, living below your means, saving money, buying a house, and investing in a government approved retirement plan, this brave new world of money can be very confusing. This is why the 8 New Rules of Money, detailed in Conspiracy of the Rich: The 8 New Rules of Money (COR), are essential for financial survival as well as financial success."

As the economic turbulence continues on a global scale, the unfortunate truth is that many people – those playing by outdated rules – will lose everything they have worked so hard for.

The rich countries of the world – including the US – are edging closer to bankruptcy. If one falls, the world’s economy will fall with them, and millions will be wiped out.

Are you prepared to prosper even as the world economy crumbles?

In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki talks about the precarious state of the global economy–and how you can survive and thrive.

"The world is in a precarious situation. I’m afraid the rich countries of the world will soon be the poor countries of the world, and when that happens, the world will go bankrupt... In the near future, only the strong will survive and thrive due to less competition. Unfortunately, this will mean more suffering for the weak or naïve."

The USA Today claims the financial crisis is history. But Robert Kiyosaki points out in his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin that those who believe this will be financially wiped out.

Why?

The crisis isn’t history. It’s shaping up to be the biggest crisis in history.

And the actions you take now will shape your financial future for years to come. Find out how to survive and thrive.


"If you want to believe the crisis is history, go ahead and drift off into dreamland. Personally, I’d rather face the facts, look at the real numbers, and prepare for the biggest financial crisis and wealth transfer in the history of the world.

An epic international financial crisis is looming as Greece desperately tries to cut its deficits by cutting its payroll–or risk going bankrupt. There’s just one problem: the government employs 1 in 3 Grecians.

And those employees aren’t too happy about the proposed cuts. They’re taking it to the streets. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki breaks down what the Greek financial crisis means for you and your money.

"When the government of Greece proposed cutting wages and pensions for government workers, they hit the streets in protest…could this be America next year? What will happen when Americans finally realize that there’s no money in the Social Security Trust Fund and that Social Security is just one big Ponzi scheme?"

Is Gold Getting Ready to Crash?
Noted economist, Nouriel Roubini, is predicting that the gold bubble is getting ready to pop. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki discusses Roubini’s prediction, the state of the gold market, and whether you can expect gold to keep rising or to come crashing down.


"A wise man once said, 'The worst reason to buy a stock is because the price is going up.' That goes for gold also. Gold hit a record high of $1,226.10 on December 3, 2009 and closed out the year at $1,096.35, up 24.8 percent for the year. While a 24.8 percent gain in one year is impressive, it isn’t a reason to buy gold – or anything else for that matter."

What Would Happen to You if China’s Economy Collapsed?
In 2003, Richard Duncan’s groundbreaking book, The Dollar Crisis, exposed the inevitable fall of the dollar – even as the stock markets were roaring back to life. Today, much of what Duncan predicted is coming true.

Now, in his latest book, The Corruption of Capitalism, Duncan takes a hard look at the relationship between China and the US. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert gives you exclusive quotes from Duncan’s new book and explains what the fall of China will mean for you and your money.

"So is the crisis over? I don’t think so. We are, as Richard Duncan states, in the New Depression. This is why The 8 New Rules of Money are important. The rules of money have changed, and we need to change with them – or we’re toast."

Chances are you know that people who set goals – and write them down – are more successful than people who don’t. If you’re looking to make 2010 your best year yet, don’t miss Robert’s latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin. Robert discusses his goals for 2010, and the spiritual importance of setting your own goals.

"For over fifteen years, Kim and I have hiked the mountains near our home to set our goals for the New Year surrounded by Arizona’s natural beauty. This New Year was no different. We hiked for an hour, climbing the same hill we always climb, and spent some time discussing the past year, our wins, our losses, and what we were grateful for. Then we focused on our goals for 2010."

As 2009 comes to a close, the recession is still raging. Many people are losing it all as the economic storm marches on. For some, this is the worst of times. But for others, this is the best of times.

In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert shares how you can make 2010 your best year ever – even as others are wiped out.

"In 2009, the world faced an even bigger financial crisis than in 1989 – one that is still growing. For many people, the next few years will be the worst of times. For others, the next few years will be the opportunity of a lifetime."

Are You Prepared for the Coming Depression?

History is full of winners and losers. During hard, economic times some do well, most are wiped out. If you want to win financially, you need to understand what you’re up against. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, Robert talks about the two different types of depression, which we are likely to see – and how you can prepare to prosper.

Read Robert's latest post here "In Conspiracy of the Rich, I wrote about the eight new rules of money. People who understand and implement the new rules of money will do well as the two types of depressions grow. Those that are following the old rules of money, “Go to school, get a job, work hard, save money, buy a house, get out of debt, and invest for the long term in mutual funds,” will probably be slaughtered in the coming years."

I consider myself to be a fortunate man.

I know that my wife Kim didn't marry me for my money because when I met her, I didn't have any. I married a woman who was willing to learn, grow, take on financial challenges, and achieve her dream to become an independent woman. Both of our lives are better as a result.

This is the reason I invite all women, whether it's you, your partner, or your daughter, to experience what I believe will be a most incredible event for women.

I believe that for all women....

It's time to Reveal Your Dreams... and Achieve them.

The Roman satirist, Juvenal, once wrote of the Roman Empire, “Give them bread and circuses and they will never revolt.” Today, thousands of years later, the U.S. government is taking Juvenal’s advice. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki breaks down our modern-day circuses, and clues you in on what you should really be focusing on.

Today, the American Empire is looking eerily like the Roman Empire. When America was first founded, the tallest buildings were churches. Then came sky scrappers for business. Now, our largest buildings are sports arenas. The Dallas Cowboys just spent over a billion dollars to build a new arena. Today, pro-football is America’s most popular sport. Rather than carry swords and shields, millionaire football players put on helmets and shoulder pads. Also, today in America rather than watch horse drawn chariots we have NASCAR races, high priced cars going round and round on a track.

The article that Robert wrote for this month’s Yahoo!Finance column generated over 800 comments, many negative. Some comments were against the concept that a 401(k) is not a smart investment, while others attacked Robert personally. Clearly this article hit a nerve with readers, and showcases just how entrenched most people are in the old ways of thinking – especially when those old ways of thinking are still being peddled by many of the financial “experts” on TV.

Some things never seem to change. The Fed continues to back big banks and powerful corporations at the expense of the little guy. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki talks about Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke’s latest speech, why it’s just more financial mumble jumble, and what it means for you. You don’t want to miss this insightful analysis.

The tragedy is that while the Fed bails out multi-millionaires and big banks, it is the little guy that pays the price. California schools are now letting go of Vice-Principles, counselors, and librarians to save money. Today in America, billionaires get bailout money, and teachers and our children pay the price.

All over the world, people and governments are quietly exchanging their dollars for gold and silver. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin, Robert Kiyosaki discusses the implications of the dollars seeming demise – and what you can do to prepare and protect you family and your money. Don’t be the last to know the dollar is toast.

If the world’s central banks stop buying our bonds and dollars, the U.S. will have to raise interest rates, which will crush the stock market. If higher interest rates do not work, then the U.S. will have to print even more money, possibly leading to a hyperinflationary state, once again stealing from those that work for and save money. As you know from COR, the rich know how to print their own money like the Fed – it’s the middle-class that is most affected by the financial crisis.

If breaking deficit records were an Olympic sport, the U.S. would be a gold medal winner. With record shortfalls racking up every month, the U.S. government is now at the threshold of reaching its credit limit of $12.1 trillion. The only option is for the U.S. Congress to vote to increase the credit limit…but the world is growing weary. In his latest COR Bulletin, Robert breaks down what the crumbling credit worthiness of the U.S. means for you and your money.

"I like to think of the global banking system as a vampire. A vampire does not want to kill you. A vampire only wants your blood. The same is true for the global banking system. They don’t want to kill you or your debt, they just want to keep sipping interest off the top, and keep you just crippled enough that you can’t get better but not so crippled that you die."

On November 3, the International Monetary Fund sold India 2,000 tons of gold for $6.7 billion. What is interesting is that India purchased the gold at the highest price in history. In other words, they do not care what the price of gold is. They simply do not want counterfeit money. This purchase makes India’s Central Bank, the 9th largest holder of gold.

In 1974, the rules of money changed and employees who once relied on a pension for retirement were forced to rely on the stock market. Now, over three decades later, the great experiment of the 401(k) is failing. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin, Robert exposes the 401(k) and why it’s “The biggest scam ever put on the American people."

My message is simply this: "This is a great time to get rich." But don’t listen to insurance salespeople masquerading as financial planners, selling you the wonders of the 401(k). The 401(k) was designed for people who know nothing about investing, which is why The New York Times says, "401(k)’s might not be ideal, but they’re all some investors have."

3. You must have the item(s) to be traded with you if it is small enough to carry. Or,

4. If the item is too big to bring to the auction:

In 2002, Robert Kiyosaki predicted the demise of the 401(k) as a viable retirement option in his book, Rich Dad’s Prophecy. The so-called experts mocked him. Today, they’re a singing a different tune. Robert shares his thoughts on TIME magazine’s latest cover article, “Why It’s Time to Retire the 401(k),” in his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin.

"As COR readers, you already know that siphoning off wealth via our retirement savings is one of the ways the conspiracy gets richer. The TIME magazine article verifies my concerns expressed in Conspiracy of the Rich and in Rich Dad’s Prophecy. There are better ways to protect and grow your wealth than in a 401(k). That is what Part Two of COR is about."

lot of people say that greed is the reason for this crisis – that the leaders of our government and banks were too greedy. But as Robert discusses in his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin, greed isn’t the problem – it’s treachery.

"What the Federal Reserve Bank, the US Treasury, and Wall Street have done goes far beyond greed. What they have done is commit acts of treason. They have committed acts of treason upon the very people they were supposed to be protecting. Our leaders use their power to make their friends rich as they destroy the people that give them power. Using power to destroy the people and government that give you that power is the very definition of treason."

Real Life Story: No money deal

On November 6, 7th and 8th I am presenting a once-in-a-lifetime seminar about doing deals without money. It’s called The Art of a Deal. In these financial times, credit has shriveled up and knowing the art of doing no-money deals is more crucial than ever. At my interactive event, you will experience a new way to think about structuring transactions. I'll show you various forms that “money” can take, other than cash.

Would you like to know an alternative way to make deals happen without cash? Let me show you how I learned the secrets of this business. I’ve surrounded myself with those who know these secrets. It may appear to be more work than just throwing down cash, but it is definitely possible and an indispensible skill in today’s market. To close "no-money deals” takes real creativity - the wealth of the mind. It requires a spirit of cooperation and dedication to finding a win-win solution for all parties. Join my students and learn to look at opportunities from a different perspective - and discover the real gems lurking beneath the surface.

Throughout my years of teaching I’ve learned that examples hold a lot of power. Below is an example from my book, The Real Book of Real Estate, where my creative finance and exchange coach, Wayne Palmer, tells a story about a seller who creatively financed a property for Wayne.

“I purchased a condo from a private party who owned the unit free and clear. They agreed to accept a $20,000 down payment and to carry a note of $78,000 at 7.5 percent for twenty years. The monthly principal and interest payment was to be $628.36. I asked for a clause in the note that provided for all payments made in the first year to be allocated to principal, such that the interest rate for the first year of the note was effectively 0 percent.

The seller would still receive the same monthly income, while I could prepay as much of the balance as I desired, within twelve months, without interest. However, 7.5 percent interest would begin accruing against the unpaid balance on the first anniversary of the loan. That one simple clause, written into the private note, shortened the amortization of the note from 240 months to 205.68 months, a savings of $21,565.76. You might note that the savings exceeded my down payment. In other words, the zero interest clause was, in essence, an agreement by the seller to rebate my down payment .”

– Wayne Palmer from The Real Book of Real Estate

Seems that even financial gurus are hurting in this economic downturn. Suze Orman recently teamed up with the FDIC in an endorsement campaign engineered to assure you that your money is safe in US banks. But as Robert says in his latest Conspiracy of the Rich bulletin, while your money might be physically safe in the bank – you could still be losing.

"Suze claims that no one has lost money deposited in a bank that was insured by the FDIC. That may be true, but how do you define losing money? The true picture is that the Fed is printing trillions of dollars. This means you may not be losing your dollars, but your dollars are being diluted with trillions in counterfeit money. Parking your dollars in an insured bank causes them to lose purchasing power as commodities such as gold and oil are going up in price. "

– Excerpt from Robert’s Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin

Learn how to protect your money better than the FDIC ever could.

The dollar has long been the reserve currency of the world, giving the US tremendous power. But that power was built on the world’s fragile faith in our currency. Stress cracks are beginning to show in the world’s willingness to accept the dollar. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin, Robert discusses Iran’s latest move against the dollar – and what that means for you.

"I know Iran’s President is not the most popular man in the world, or in his country. I know he is scrambling to retain power in Iran. And I know he is switching from the dollar to the euro in order to throw mud in our face. Nonetheless, this change is right in line with what is predicted in Conspiracy of the Rich. The dollar is losing its power as the reserve currency of the world. In other words, the American empire of debt is coming to an end. "

There is a growing discontent bubbling to the surface in America. No longer a fringe idea, conspiracy is slowly becoming a mainstream thought. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin, Robert discusses the difference between those who are simply angry about the conspiracy – and those who are doing something about it.

"Unfortunately, it seems that many people now jumping on the conspiracy theory bandwagon are losers who are angry. Many are either born losers or recent losers in the job, stock, and real estate markets. The biggest difference between those losers and the Rich Dad Conspiracy of the Rich message is that I want you to be the biggest winners, following the same 8 new rules of money that the real rich really use."

Yes, you read correctly. In his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin, Robert discusses how the government is proposing a plan to have the banks bailout the government – and how the FDIC is not the solution, but the problem.

"The conspiracy of the rich knows no boundaries. For months now, the government has bailed out the banks. Now the government is proposing that banks bail out the government, which, of course, the banks are enthusiastically supporting."

n his latest Conspiracy of the Rich Bulletin, Robert shows why it’s the incompetence of our leaders that has lead to this financial crisis by highlighting the incompetence of Chrysler’s Deputy CEO, James Press.

"Can you imagine a man in such a high level position of a major corporation being so foolish with his money? Even the lowest paid employee at Chrysler knows the company is in financial trouble. Why would an executive expect a bonus after mismanaging the company?."

In this fourth installment of his exclusive preview of his upcoming book on leadership for entrepreneurs, Robert talks about the most destructive and powerful cause of negative emotions in business and life – blame.

Always remember that the word blame comes from the words be-lame. When you blame someone else for your problems, you give the power over your problems to the person you blame. By being lame, you volunteer yourself to be the victim. You are the lame victim, and they have more power than you.

- Excerpt from The Four Main Causes of Negative Emotions

In the third installment of The Four Main Causes of Negative Emotions, a preview of his upcoming book on leadership entrepreneurship, Robert Kiyosaki talks about the lack of consideration and how that feeds negative emotions. Rather than wallow in other’s lack of consideration towards you, Robert writes, focus on how you are treating others.

Give what you want. If you feel any kind of lack, for example, a lack of recognition, lack of love, lack of happiness, lack of money, it could be that you are not giving what you want…If you want more recognition, give more recognition. One of the more valuable lessons I learned in military school was to take responsibility for things that go wrong and give credit for your success to others.

We all know the definition of stupidity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. Yet, isn’t that what conventional investing advice asks of us – to keep investing for the long term, even when markets are crashing, and expect different results?

"In my lifetime, I have lost a lot of money. Yet with most losses came a valuable lesson. The primary reason I say this caller is asking a stupid question is because I believe she not only is failing to learn a lesson, she is actively making the same mistake. She is living out the definition of stupidity: Doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results."

Read Robert Kiyosaki’s third installment of his bonus column, Stupid Answers to Stupid Financial Questions, written exclusively for the Conspiracy of the Rich community, and learn how to recognize stupid financial questions – and more importantly the stupid answers to them.

We were taught in school that there was no such thing as a stupid question. That might be true for children, but not for adults. In reality we all know there are stupid questions – especially stupid financial questions – questions that betray one’s financial ignorance. But more importantly – and more tragically – there are even more stupid answers to those questions.

Robert and Kim enjoyed a great time in beautiful Argentina where they promoted Robert's new book, The Conspiracy of the Rich, and shared the Rich Dad message of financial education and freedom with thousands. While there, they relished in the tremendous hospitality of the Argentinean people, drank some fabulous local Malbec wines, and explored the natural beauty of the Andes on horseback. The trip generated plenty of buzz and Robert was featured on the covers of both Newseek (Newsweek) and Fortuna (Fortune) Magazine.

In September, Robert and Kim will continue their South American tour in Brazil, meeting the great people there and spreading the Rich Dad message.

Chapter 8 excerpt:

"We can all create money out of thin air - derivatives of our thoughts. We all have the power to print our own money - if we train our minds to think in terms of derivatives. In other words, money can be a derivative of financial knowledge. This is why financial education is so important, and why I believe it is not taught in schools. The conspiracy does not want you and me getting in on their game!"

As of September 19, 2008, the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), acting with the U.K. Financial Services Authority, has temporarily prohibited short sales of the securities of 799 financial institutions for 10 business days.

It should be noted that the SEC may extend the prohibition beyond 10 business days if it is deemed necessary in the public interest and for the protection of investors. At this time, the SEC has stated that it will not extend the order for more than 30 calendar days in total duration.

I just finished watching Robert Kiyosaki and Steve Forbes speak on "Stocks, Politics, and the Economy: Prudent Strategies" at the Forbes.com iConference.

Here are a few bits of wisdom Robert offered:

"The biggest thing about financial intelligence is knowing when to save and when not to save." (He pointed out that in today's economy, he's not saving -- he's investing!)

"Banks will always give me money for real estate." (Banks typically won't give you money to invest in stock)

"If you’re going to invest today, invest globally."

"The tax code incentivizes the entrepreneur and punishes the employee." (Become an entrepreneur to build your wealth and to take advantage of the tax breaks the tax code offers.)

In a comment about today's political situation, Steve Forbes noted: "Never underestimate the power of politicians to muck things up."

A concise summary of the discussion is: Increase your own financial IQ so that you can take care of yourself regardless of what happens to the economy.

Recently, Robert Kiyosaki appeared on Fox News to promote his newest book, Increase Your Financial IQ.

On Your World with Neil Cavuto, Robert talked about how his earlier predictions have come true and discussed the current real estate market, including explaining how he chooses where to invest. His real estate investments follow the job market—in other words, he buys properties where the job market is strong because workers need places to live. He said: “We don’t have a real estate crisis, we’re having a financing crisis.”

At the end of the interview, Neil Cavuto said: “Robert Kiyosaki – he has been right every step of the way.”

When Robert appeared on Fox Business Network’s Happy Hour, he repeated that this is a great time to look for investment bargains. But, he cautioned, you need to be smart about it. “Financial intelligence is your greatest asset,” he said. “Invest in your intelligence first before you go buy a stock or bond or gold or silver.”

He was critical of financial “gurus” who tell people to cut up their credit cards. He pointed out that you need credit cards to function in today’s economy—to rent a car, check into a hotel, purchase merchandise online, and so on. The key is to use credit cards responsibly. When people get into financial problems because of credit cards, the fault is not the credit cards, but the person using them.
