Rich Dad's Advisors: Guide to Investing In Gold and Silver: Protect Your Financial Future,   ISBN:9780446510998

Customer Rating: 

I was already convinced that owning gold and silver was a good investment but had heard from an internet source that this was a good guide to investing in metals, and saw that (at the time) ALL the reviews here were high praise.

The book is called "Guide to Investing in Gold and Silver" but Maloney spends the first 154 pages of a 202 page book making a historical case for the strength of gold and silver vs currency and other investments. (Title page - pg 155: Part 4 - How to invest in precious metals)

The final Chapter, 7 pages, returns to the history of metals investing and the opportunities it gives in todays economic climate.

In the end, there are just 40 pages of actual investing advice (what to buy, where, pit-falls etc).

Maloney's research is exhausting and initially I found it interesting but at the end of each chapter I'd turn the page hoping to finally get to the "guide to investing", only to find yet another chapter of history, charts and graphs.

In my opinion, this is a book only for those not already convinced about buying metals...or for those who are but also really want a detailed history to go with their guide.

Customer Rating: 

This book does an excellent job of laying out both the history and the details behind investing in gold and silver. Don't get pulled into the hype of precious metals investment services who rush you into buying before you educate yourself. This extremely readable book will set you on the path toward understanding your options for investment and the rationale. I have recommended this to countless friends already...and you as well!

Customer Rating: 

The author starts out by taking you on a journey through time, explaining the history of precious metals. Then he reviews more recent events, what precious metals have done and may do. The final segment of the book is very informative regarding how to invest in gold and silver, the pitfalls to watch out for, and the possible tax and other ramifications of buying and selling. His website [...] is also very informative. This is a "must read" before you buy gold or silver!

I really enjoyed this book that I read it 2 times in the last 30 days. No way during my college years would I ever have attempted to read something like this, buy Mike Maloney has a great way of teaching economics 101. I loves his examples and how he uses history to back up his theory. Definite read if you want to survive the next economic downturn.
