In the afternoon of March 11, just one day after warning that a massive Recession might start in 2026 with the collapse of BlackRock (NYSE: BLK ), Robert Kiyosaki took to X to advise his followers on what to do should they lose money in the stock market . The famous investor and author of the best-selling personal finance book ‘Rich Dad Poor Dad’ structured his tweet as a series of questions and answers regarding investment losses and his own trading fortunes. In a nutshell, Robert Kiyosaki stated that, should one make poor stock market investments, they ought to change their ‘teachers.’ While refraining from saying so explicitly, the famed author positioned himself as the finest teacher by mentioning that he knows many popular finance influencers who lost a lot of money, while underlining that he made a lot of wealth: I could name some YouTube financial rock stars who lost a lot of money. But that would not be cool. And I could brag about how much money I made. But that would be even more uncool. If you lost money you may want to find better teachers. Would investing in the ‘Robert Kiyosaki portfolio’ be a winning strategy? Looking at the recent years in the financial markets, one must concede that many of Robert Kiyosaki’s top recommendations have been performing very well. To begin with, the famed author is possibly most associated with Bitcoin ( BTC ), the world’s premier cryptocurrency . Considering BTC is, at press time, changing hands at $69,695, and that Kiyosaki first recommended buying it in 2017 , it would be easier to examine when investing in the digital asset wouldn’t have been profitable.

The situation is similar, albeit slightly less favorable for Ethereum ( ETH ), which spent most of 2021 and half of 2022, and almost the entirety of 2024 and 2025 changing hands above its press time price of $2,041. Precious metals remain Robert Kiyosaki’s top recommendation for 2026 Elsewhere, Robert Kiyosaki’s other top assets are represented by two major commodities : gold and silver. Thanks to the staggering rally the precious metals have enjoyed in recent months, following the ‘Rich Dad’ author into the market would have been a winning bet, essentially no matter what, as long as it was done before approximately February of 2026. For example, though gold is below its highs above $5,400, investing in it just five years ago would have led to 200% returns thanks to the rise from $1,700 to nearly $5,200.

Specifically, the argent metal was trading at $25 five years ago and is, at press time, changing hands at $87 – 25% below the highs near $117 – meaning a trader could have enjoyed 248% returns. How does Robert Kiyosaki compare against the market and other analysts? Elsewhere and for the sake of fairness, not following any influencer – except, perhaps, Warren Buffett , as it was a common piece of advice of his – and investing in the benchmark S&P 500 index five years ago would have led to 72% returns by press time on March 12. Even listening to Jim Cramer – a man who is often made fun of for his stock picks – could have yielded major returns. One of the former hedge fund manager and TV host’s most prominent recommendations is the blue-chip chipmaker Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA ).
