Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, said investors should not let the price of gold and silver alone guide their decisions. In a post quoted by Maariv Online on June 21, 2026, he argued that the broader economic context, leadership quality and market signals matter more than whether prices are currently rising or falling.
Kiyosaki said one of his mistakes was allowing price to determine when to buy or sell any asset. Instead, he said he learned to look at the “context” around an asset. As an example, he said that when real estate prices collapse, he examines employment growth and the area around the property. For gold and silver, he said he watches political and banking leaders and asks whether they are solving problems in the US and global economy or making them worse.
He added that he believes global leaders are “incompetent” and are worsening conditions. Because of that, he said he follows gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum on technical charts and would buy when the downward trend reverses. According to Kiyosaki, the technical charts for gold and silver show they are “ready for a massive rise in prices.”
He ended by urging readers not to simply accept his view, asking, “What do you think? What do you see?” and writing, “Take care. Exciting times. The wise will get rich, the ignorant will do nothing, and that may be the smartest thing for them to do.” The article frames his message as a warning that falling prices may create the next opportunity for investors who focus on the bigger picture.
