Why Warren Buffett, Jim Rogers are ditching stocks & bonds? Rich Dad Poor Dad author Robert Kiyosaki explains

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the bestselling book Rich Dad Poor Dad, in his recent post on X (formerly Twitter), explained how investment veterans Warren Buffett and Jim Rogers have sold most of their stocks and bonds and are now holding cash or silver.

Referring to their actions, Kiyosaki urged followers to find out why, and added that he is staying invested in gold, silver, and Bitcoin.

“If you do not know why Buffet and Rogers have sold their stocks and bonds you may want to find out. I sit tight with gold, silver, & Bitcoin,” he said in his tweet.



He noted that America’s debt levels are historically high and suggested that continued reliance on printed money may not be sustainable.

In a strongly worded message, Kiyosaki wrote, “Good luck. We may be on the brink of another 1929 crash and another Great Depression.”

The recent tweet reiterates his long-standing belief that the current U.S. economic trajectory is unsustainable due to surging national debt and unchecked money printing by the Federal Reserve.

Kiyosaki, on multiple occasions, has declared that he personally prefers holding physical gold, silver, and Bitcoin over equities or ETFs. In his previous tweet, he said, “You can only print money to pay your bills…for so long,” emphasizing his view that reliance on fiat currency and fiscal stimulus is pushing the U.S. economy toward a collapse.

Today, he has urged the investors to do their own research and to explore why figures like Buffett and Rogers may be rotating out of traditional assets.

This tweet aligns with his previous posts that emphasized the importance of real, tangible assets in times of economic instability, even drawing a metaphor comparing ETFs to a "picture of a gun for personal defense," suggesting that while financial instruments like gold or Bitcoin ETFs are convenient for average investors, they lack the protection of physically held assets.

“Sometimes it’s best to have real gold, silver, Bitcoin, and a gun,” he has said.

As concerns over inflation, interest rates, and global market volatility continue, Kiyosaki’s repeated calls to diversify into hard assets are drawing fresh attention—especially when accompanied by mentions of high-profile investors like Buffett.

His warnings may not predict the exact timing of market events but they continue to influence investor sentiment around safe-haven assets in uncertain times.
