Robert Kiyosaki Warns of Silver Price Crash, Eyes Trading for Gold

Robert Kiyosaki, the famous writer of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has issued a sharp warning about silver prices spiking amid speculative excitement, forecasting a huge market fall. In a January 12, 2026, post on X, he warned that millions of "silver speculators" are selling as prices increase, perhaps crashing the market before it can rise any further.

Current Silver Rally and Warning Signs

Silver has lately risen above $80 per ounce, with U.S. Silver Eagle coins dealing at premiums of up to $104. Kiyosaki praised the gains—"Silver over $80…Yay,"—but warned investors to avoid FOMO and wait for troughs. He intends to purchase further silver at up to $100 per ounce, but cautions about potential price drops. I will be patient and wait until the silver market tells me what to do next."

Kiyosaki's Trading Strategy

Kiyosaki indicated plans to trade some of his silver holdings for gold whenever prices stabilized following the drop. He has been a silver investor since 1965, when he purchased an ounce for $1. He became a solid believer during the Hunt Brothers squeeze in the 1990s, when the price reached $4-5. He advised against greed: "Pigs become fat. "Hogs get slaughtered," indicating a strategic asset rotation into gold during the impending slump.

Long-Term Outlook Remains Bullish

Despite the short-term crash warning, Kiyosaki remains convicted of precious metals for wealth preservation. He earlier predicted that silver will reach $200 by the end of 2026, and even $500 from lower levels, accompanying enormous rises in gold, Bitcoin, and Ethereum to offset hyperinflation and market crashes.
