I couldn’t agree more. Reminds me of the BusinessWeek valuation of Digg:
I find that interesting, considering that in the same article they mentioned they are only making 3 million a year in revenue?

Thanks for the links.
As with any bubbles luck plays a part with entry but sagacity determines how much $$$ the investor takes at the exit

I just read Rich Dad’s Prophecy - scary book, but basically says we’re going to have another (or rather, the biggest) bubble, before it all really goes pop!

Vinny,
Do you really think that Rich Dad’s Prophecy is worth buying?
I jotted down the title & info thinking perhaps I’d search for the book at the Library but after a glimpse of a couple of pages available through Amazon (thanks for the link), the book looks like a “New Age style economics book with a lot of fluffy filler” IMHO. There might be a few tips in the book that are worthwhile and I might still track it down at the library.
I got a kick out of some of the Amazon reviews (these can be read if one follows your given link).
H. Buning “harmgb2″ (Texas) said s/he would rather read Suze Orman
There were some other entertaining reviews as well.
Library Journal refers to Kiyosaki as a “superhot financial writer” without going into much detail as to why Kiyosaki’s book on this topic is so great.

Those memoirs have educational value that rings true to the present day.

His books are definitely geared at the more financially illiterate, but some of the arguments and conclusions that he presents are very interesting. Overall, there’s probably a few chapters worth reading, and some become really repetitive - but I would definitely say that I would have rather read what he, than to have not.
He does do a lot of shameless self plugs to his other books and materials - and in terms of investing, he is very conservative - overall though, it’s a nice primer and an easy read for people looking to understand financial economics (sic).

“…some of the arguments and conclusions that he presents are very interesting. Overall, there’s probably a few chapters worth reading …”
I’ll put that on my list to check out some day …
Are there any other economic related books you find interesting?
I studied macro- and micro- back in college.

It’s an enjoyable read (I own the book).
