For my dollar he is too much focused on real estate, which can be a dangerous type of pyramid schema, because when you own X number of properties and also have mortgages on them up to 100%, what do you really own? At best you might make some cash flow, but with a rather low profit margin. What happens when 10% or 20% of your rental properties are being vacant? Who is then paying the mortgages? It's not you are loosing just 20%, like if you'd invested it in stocks or bonds. You'll unravel it all. Its a very risky game he is talking. If only Guy would also give sound advise for getting rich.

It is also amazing that most VCs believe in God and quite a few that I know are also deeply religious. His quip about Apple and digital music is really humorous and quite apt!
