The author of "Rich Dad Poor Dad" Robert Kiyosaki cautioned that the U.S. national debt is approaching $40 trillion, stating that cash savers will be "the biggest losers." He criticized the Treasury's increased long-dated government debt buyback operations as "printing more fake $", which he believes will weaken the U.S. Dollar Index and accelerate inflation. Kiyosaki recommends that educated investors focus on assets that appreciate in value, such as gold, silver, and income-producing real estate. He specifically highlighted silver as the best choice for August 2026, citing economist Jim Rickards' forecast of silver reaching $200/ounce and gold $10,000/ounce. JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon has also suggested gold could "easily" rise to $10,000/ounce.
