  • Robert Kiyosaki Warns of 'Biggest Bubble' Threatening Baby Boomers' Investments
    January 24, 2026, 11:41 AM EST. Robert Kiyosaki, author and investor, warns of a looming stock market crash that could devastate baby boomers' retirement savings due to their reliance on 401(k) plans. Despite his calls, the S&P 500 has risen 36% since his tweet. Kiyosaki advocates for portfolio diversification, notably recommending gold as a hedge because it can't be created like fiat currency. He predicts gold could hit $27,000 per ounce by 2025, citing its 71% rise over the past year to $4,673 in January 2026. For retail investors, gold IRAs offer a tax-advantaged way to include gold in retirement portfolios, though storage fees apply. Kiyosaki also supports Bitcoin for growth potential despite its volatility. Market timing remains uncertain, underscoring the importance of diversified strategies.
