Robert Kiyosaki warns 401(k) stockholders may face crash risk
He cited an “Everything Bubble” and pointed to holding gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum as potential protection, amid ongoing debate over how retirement portfolios are exposed to stocks.
Yahoo Finance reports that Robert Kiyosaki warned Americans who hold stock-heavy retirement accounts, including 401(k)s and IRAs, that the US could be approaching another major market crash, framing the risk in terms of a potential “Great Depression.”
The Rich Dad Poor Dad author said in a July 2025 post that people with 401(k)s filled with stocks could face conditions similar to the 1929 crash, describing it as another “1929 crash and another Great Depression.” He later doubled down in March 2026 by warning the “Everything Bubble” could burst and urging investors to own gold, silver, Bitcoin and Ethereum to help protect against a potential downturn.
Yahoo Finance also revisited historical drawdowns, noting that during the 1929 sell-off beginning on October 28, 1929, the Dow lost nearly half its value before mid-November, and by the summer of 1932 it had fallen 89% from its peak.
The piece further referenced a 2022 market sell-off estimate from CBS News that 401(k) and IRA participants experienced around $3 trillion in losses, and contrasted Kiyosaki’s framing with Berkshire Hathaway’s position, noting Buffett’s company remained a large holder of equity securities even after trimming over time, according to the outlet.
