The famous author of the best-selling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, says it's time to open his closed mind after listening to economist Harry Dent. He is now buying 2-year U.S. Treasury bonds despite repeatedly saying he does not invest in anything printed by the Federal Reserve or Wall Street.

Robert Kiyosaki Influenced by Harry Dent, Buys Treasury Bonds

The author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, Robert Kiyosaki, is opening his "closed mind" and buying 2-year U.S. Treasury bonds after listening to economic forecaster Harry Dent.

Rich Dad Poor Dad is a 1997 book co-authored by Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. It has been on the New York Times Best Seller List for over six years. More than 32 million copies of the book have been sold in over 51 languages across more than 109 countries.

Kiyosaki tweeted Tuesday:

Opening my closed mind. I don't invest in things Fed or Wall Street print. Time to open my mind. After listening to Harry Dent, I am buying U.S. Treasury 2-year bonds.

His tweet drew much criticism. Some people noted that Harry Dent has been saying the same thing for years. Another reminded the famous author that Dent does not recommend 2-year Treasury bonds, pointing out that the economic forecaster said he prefers longer-term bonds, such as 20 or 30 years.
