Review: Robert Allen has created a masterpiece with Multiple Streams of Income. So many diverse ways to make money and best of all, they all work!The investing advice is pure genius! Almost everyone I talk to has lost a bundle over the last three years. In fact I read a statistic that nearly $10 trillion was lost since March 2000 in the stock market. Lucky for me, Multiple Streams of Income came out right around that time. I bought it and used the advice. I didn't lose money. I made money. But I guess that is because I followed the advice of Robert Allen and Mr. Donahue and did not follow the advice of brokers (who are really jokers)And I am not just talking about moving money into a money market fund (safe but wimpy) or even the money made on non stock market investtments like rental real estate, tax liens, discounted mortgages or my network marketing business. I am talking about investing in stocks and no load mutuals. I am talking about unconvnetional wisdom that works. What is it? That's easy, read the book. It's worth the 12 bucks or even borrow it from the library. I'm sure Mr. Allen doesn't care. At least you can get his books at the library. Thanks to Robert Allens advice I was able to move from a dying midwestern city to the robust and dynamic Las Vegas, Nv. I don't have to worry about an employer since I am self employed. Don't have to punch a time clock and what I do is legal and ethical. I would never stoop to trying to make a living by sending out spam, pump-n-dump penny stocks, be a paid shill for authors or write 3rd rate self publsihed books that are just regurgitated information that has been around, never makes it to any bookrack, library and are available only via the internet (caveat emptor) or send popups ad nauseum. Thanks to Robert G. I now own my life whereas before, everybodyelse owned me. 1 star reviewers, try buying and reading the book not to mention applying the techniques (what a novel idea!--your welcome) then come back and write a review. Put those 1,000 page 1979 financial books written by newsweak writers or fancy smansy technique books that talk about candlesticks (hw about chinese chopsticks? Italian breadsticks?) and people still aren't making any money but feel so cool because they can talk about something besides Motel Hell, or pc games like Grand Auto Theft. It would also help you to break away from the pc and get a frickin life too. Nothing wrong with horror movies, pc games or surfing on the internet; as long as you make it a part of your life, not your whole life! Okay for fun, not okay for a lifestyle. But then, if you actually read any of Robert Allens books, you would already know this wouldn't you?

I live on these Amazon boards and o nothing else but bash good books like Robert A. I have never been in business, what the heck who cares. People still buy my books and I don't even have to give a refund. I claim to be a consultlant. So what if I can't provide even 1 client referral. I use a lot of names. Sometimes I post as Derk G THE G stands for geek. I am holding on to my top 500 rating rating due to a computer glitch (actually people hate me and have beeninundated Amazon with so many 1 star reviews that I had to have Amazon halt the ratings untill I can get caught up) I hate these best selling authors like Robert G. They can get their books published without self publishing and what's more they sell. They actually work. Nobody has ever written a postive review about my books, in fact, I even bashed my own books. People like Robert G. RTK, W.Cook really bother me. These guys are so damned successful and have such a great following. Doen't seem fair.
Rating: ![5 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-5-0.gif) Summary: Doable Review: I bought the 2000 edition of this book, so am not sure what, if any, additional information is included in this 2004 2nd edition. I assume it could only be better. In Multiple Streams of Income he explains what to do and how to do it, and gives lots of sources to contact. There are so many ideas to choose from, that it seems at least one will work for everyone if you are willing to implement it. And they are not complicated.
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Thought provoking first chapter Review: I rate this book 2 stars primarily for the first chapter. The first chapter did change the way that I look at the value of a single dollar. This chapter at least is worth reading as for the rest, I'm not so sure. I do disagree with and am suspicious of some of the adamantly negative reviewsI've read. Mr. Allen's ideas are worth a look and are thought provoking at least.

Review: and I've sent my army to pump up the reviews of this book by hyping it with five stars and almost religous reviews, while saying that those who have voted negatively against the book that their reviews were of no help. Hope no one noticed. Well, if you did, dont pay any attention, it's just a coincidence.

Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Dont believe the positive Review: reviews on this one. Its shallow and horrible. Ideas at best, but no way a "how to" bible. I'm suspicious about the positives.
Rating: ![1 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-1-0.gif) Summary: Can you Smell the Stench Review: coming from the warehouse that holds all these books? Cause man this one stinks. PLEASE, PLEASE dont waste any dough on this one.
Rating: ![2 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-2-0.gif) Summary: Convict Review: wasnt this guy up on charges for some of his dubious real estate investment scams? This book is worthless by the by. Doesnt go into enough depth on any of its topics
