Why not? As a starting point it can help many people. There is a reason it is one of the top selling books over the past 15 years. Many of the principals are timeless. His book with Trump isn't that bad either. It is not all good but for many people these ideas can be transformational. I realize that he has consistently bashed mutual funds from the beginning but that isn't reason enough to discourage people from reading but might encourage people to examine the way they are investing. As a starting point for a broad overview Chilton, Kiyosaki, Bach, Edelman etc.all do an adequate job. Use them as a starting point but realize that much of what they are stating is taken from previous books such as Think and Grow Rich, The Richest Man in Babylon. So if you want timeless ideas in a very readable format.....Rich Dad Poor Dad.....What do you recommend that Trumps it?
