Is the stock god turning to gold? Buffett buys gold, and "Rich Dad Poor Dad" author Kiyosaki warns of "stock and bond crash".
Robert Kiyosaki, the author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad," posted on the X platform mocking stock god Warren Buffett, calling his change in attitude towards gold "disgusting," and using this as a signal to predict an impending crash in the stock and bond markets. Kiyosaki once again urged investors to buy gold, silver, and Bitcoin as a hedge asset.
Rich Dad Sarcastically Turns Around His Attitude Towards the Stock God
Robert Kiyosaki, who is optimistic about precious metals and cryptocurrencies in the long term, posted a controversial message on the social platform X, directly stating that Warren Buffett's recent praise for gold and silver makes him "want to vomit."
Kiyosaki wrote in the text: "Listening to Buffett praise the merits of gold and silver makes me feel nauseous... yet he has been mocking gold and silver for years. Does this mean the stock market and bond market are about to crash? Is a great depression imminent?"
Kiyosaki believes that Buffett, who has always scoffed at precious metals, suddenly turning to support gold must represent that the traditional financial market is about to face a major crisis. Although there is currently no public information about Buffett actually buying precious metals, Kiyosaki's remarks still attract market attention.
Buffett's historical stance on gold
As the CEO of Berkshire Hathaway, Buffett is known globally for value investing and has publicly criticized gold multiple times as a "non-yielding asset," believing that stocks and businesses are the core of long-term wealth growth. If his attitude has indeed changed as Kiyosaki claims, it would be a significant turning point in the investment philosophy of the oracle of Omaha.
It is worth noting that the "insider information" mentioned by Kiyosaki cannot be verified at the moment, and the market is still waiting for Berkshire Hathaway's official position report.
Bitcoin and Precious Metals Become New Hedging Choices
At the end of the post, Kiyosaki wrote humorously: "Maybe it's time to listen to Buffett and buy some gold, silver, Bitcoin, and Ether. Take care." This is consistent with his long-standing investment stance - viewing precious metals and cryptocurrencies as the ultimate hedging tools against the volatility of traditional financial markets.
Kiyosaki's Recommended Hedge Asset Portfolio:
Gold: The King of Traditional Hedging
Silver: Industrial demand supports its value
Bitcoin: Digital Gold Against Inflation
Ethereum: The leading smart contract platform
Although Kiyosaki has been shouting "market crash" for many years, the prices of gold, silver, and Bitcoin have indeed risen significantly over the past few years, proving that its hedging logic has been validated by the market to some extent.
Will this crash prediction come true?
The current global economy is facing multiple challenges: the U.S. government has faced a shutdown crisis, Trump's tariff policy continues to pressure the supply chain, and the direction of the Federal Reserve's interest rate cut policy remains unclear. However, paradoxically, major stock markets such as the U.S. stock market continue to maintain relatively strong performance, indicating that the market still holds an optimistic outlook on the economic prospects.
If Kiyosaki's prediction comes true, it will trigger a rare panic sell-off and asset reallocation in the global market. However, investors should also be aware that the track record of doomsayers (Perma-bears) who have long been bearish on the market is not perfect; excessive panic may lead to missing long-term investment opportunities.
