Financial commentator Robert Kiyosaki, author of “Rich Dad Poor Dad,” has added to his holdings of gold and silver during the recent market pullback, echoing fellow investor Jim Rogers in predicting that both metals are headed higher.
Kiyosaki shared his view on July 17, describing the current price retracement as a buying opportunity rather than a reason for concern. The precious metals sector has experienced a pullback in recent weeks, but both Kiyosaki and Rogers see the decline as a temporary setback within a longer-term upward trend.
Jim Rogers, the veteran investor who co-founded the Quantum Fund with George Soros, has been similarly bullish on precious metals. Both figures have pointed to macroeconomic factors including persistent inflation concerns, central bank gold purchases, and geopolitical uncertainty as drivers that could push gold and silver prices significantly higher.
The broader commodities market has seen renewed interest from investors seeking hedges against currency depreciation and fiscal instability. Gold has historically served as a store of value during periods of economic uncertainty, while silver benefits from both investment demand and its industrial applications in electronics and solar energy.
Kiyosaki has been a consistent advocate for hard assets, frequently warning about the risks of fiat currency debasement and encouraging his followers to diversify into precious metals and Bitcoin. His latest comments suggest he views the recent price dip as an opportunity to accumulate more at lower prices.
Critics note that Kiyosaki has made bullish calls on gold that have not always materialized on his expected timelines. While his long-term perspective on precious metals has been consistent, short-term price movements in gold and silver have been volatile, influenced by Federal Reserve policy decisions and dollar strength.
Gold prices have remained under pressure in 2026 as the Fed maintains a cautious approach to rate cuts, while silver has been more volatile due to its dual nature as both a precious and industrial metal. Despite these headwinds, both Kiyosaki and Rogers maintain that the structural case for higher precious metals prices remains intact.
