What Schools Will Never Teach You About Money By Robert T. Kiyosaki

4. Fair Share 
Nothing is fair when it comes to money. God is not fair. If God 
were fair, I would look like Johnny Depp.
Nothing is fair in the stock market. Some people get more than 
their fair share for their shares. The average investor invests in the 
Today, I see the frenzy in gold. Everywhere I go, I see signs, “We 
buy gold.” You know the buyer will pay $300 an ounce, not $1300 
an ounce to the seller, desperate for cash and selling his or her 
mother’s jewelry.
Even when a person invests in gold coins, many new investors are 
fooled by fool’s gold, buying “rare gold coins,” aka numismatic 
coins. A friend of a friend was all excited about buying a rare gold 
coin from the last depression. He paid nearly $3,000 for a coin 
that was worth $1,200.
I believe it is possible for gold to hit $3,000 an ounce in a few 
years, and I don’t think $7,000 is out of the question. Does this 
mean you should go out and buy it? My answer is no. You still 
need to be educated on the gold markets, especially at these prices.
In overly simple terms and in theory, the price of gold is equal 
to the money supply. The more governments print money and 
increase the money supply, the more the price of gold goes up. 
Gold goes up as the purchasing power of the dollar goes down. 
This is why I think it’s funny that Fed Chairman Bernanke stated 
on June 9, 2010: “I don’t fully understand movements in the
gold price.”
This is the guy who is printing the money. He graduated from MIT, 
taught at Stanford and Harvard, is the expert on the last depression, 
now heads the most powerful bank in the world, and he does not 
understand the movements in the price of gold? 
This is disturbing, but his lack of understanding makes him 
the best friend of gold investors. The more confused Chairman 
Bernanke is, the more I buy gold, silver, and oil. 
Fed Chairman Bernanke reminds me of my poor dad, a college 
professor, a PhD, gazing out at the world from the mind-set of the 
E quadrant. If Bernanke worked out of the I quadrant, he might 
understand why the price of gold goes up with every dollar he 
prints, aka quantitative easing.

When you perform your research of a public company by looking 
at a prospectus of a public company, you will see a category known 
as “selling shareholders.” These are the shareholders who own large 
blocks of the stock, say 1 million to 10 million shares.
They are called “selling shareholders” because they sold only a 
percentage of their company and received a large block of shares.
Building a business and taking your company public via an IPO 
(initial public offering) is another form of printing money, in this 
case, printing shares, or stock certificates.
When I took my gold mine public, Kim and I were selling 
shareholders, not buying shareholders. 
There are differences between selling shareholders, preferred 
shareholders, and common shareholders. 
This is why fair share is an oxymoron.
