10/09/09 Stockholm, Sweden – Robert Kiyosaki, a king of the real estate boom, has drastically changed his tune… he’s now touting commodities and silver in particular. He claims to have started buying silver at $3 an ounce, largely because “the US dollar is trash.”
He points out that because there’s “more gold on planet earth” now than silver, and silver has so many industrial uses, it’s the “number one investment today” and a “smoking deal.” He also notes that he owns his own gold and silver mines.

Personally, I’m tired of seeing your obnoxiously white teeth twice per day spamming the DR with just links to other people’s opinions and work. Can’t you put a little more ORIGINAL thought into this and offer some quality instead of quantity?
