Don't Call Rich Dad's Kiyosaki A Gold Investor: It's Much More Than That

Robert Kiyosaki, famed author of the New York Times bestseller "Rich Dad, Poor Dad," does not consider gold an “investment,” but rather, the only form of currency he considers “real.” 

His new book, "FAKE: Fake Money, Fake Teachers, Fake Assets," due for release in April, 2019, documents the difference between real and fake assets, and he likens gold to “God’s money,” a tribute to the yellow metal’s origins as a naturally occurring element. 

“Long after you and I are gone and all that’s left is God, I promise you, the dollar will not be here, the yen will not be here, the euro will not be here…

I doubt crypto will be here if everything else is gone, but anyway, I’d rather have God’s money than man’s money,” Kiyosaki told Kitco News. Kiyosaki noted that there is no scenario in which he would abandon his holdings on gold. 

“I’m not an investor in gold. I hold gold. Gold is real money. Gold is God’s money. Gold is foundational money,” he said. On cryptocurrencies, the best-selling author said that while bitcoin may not last forever, blockchain could still be around. 

“Blockchain is going after the dollar, fiat currency. The real threat to fiat currency is blockchain,” he said. Kiyosaki added that blockchain investors should be as knowledgeable as possible before buying cryptocurrencies, as they should with any other asset.

This Could be the Next Black Swan...

With stocks at or near all time highs, and the message from the mainstream media that all is well in the economy, the mention of a possible black swan event may seem out of place.

Kevin Shipp: MSM Covering Up DOJ Wrote Phony Trump Dossier in Failed Coup

The mainstream media (MSM) is laser focused on the recent Cohen plea and the Manafort conviction that have nothing to do with Russian collusion. 

The Left wants to remove Trump from office even if the Mueller investigation is illegitimate and started with phony documents and fraudulent wiretap warrant applications. 

So, don’t expect to hear of this failed coup to remove Trump from office from the propaganda MSM. Shipp says the MSM are conspirators, and Shipp charges, “We know the mainstream media (MSM) is not interested in the news. They have, from their editors on down and their corporate owners, an objective and, in this case, to remove Donald Trump. 

He stands against everything that they are, the Left or the ‘Dark Left’ as I call it. Trump is actually confronting the Shadow Government and Deep State, and he has them shaking. He has the news media shaking that pushes these really leftist things. So, they are intentionally and on purpose blocking the news and deleting the news about things like this soft coup, the (phony) dossier.” 

The MSM will not tell you the latest revelation and that is Bruce Ohr, who was the fourth highest ranking official in the Obama Justice Department (DOJ), wrote the now infamous phony Trump Dossier which was used to apply for fraudulent federal wiretaps (with the FISA Court) to spy on Trump.”

Bank FORCED To Pay Fine! Royal Bank of Scotland's CRISIS Era Misconduct

Josh Sigurdson talks with author and economic analyst John Sneisen about recent news out of RBS (The Royal Bank of Scotland) as the bank was forced to pay a fine for crisis-era misconduct. 

The $4.9 billion fine is record breaking and is for misleading investors ahead of the 2008 financial crisis which is certainly nothing out of the ordinary. 

We are seeing the banks do similar stuff today. When the markets and economy reach peaks, the bankers get desperate. The U.S. Justice Department imposed the fine on RBS saying from 2005 to 2008 RBS "routinely made misrepresentations to investors" who bought securities backed by risky mortgages, concealing their high risk of default. 

The bank made hundreds of millions of dollars while Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae crashed. In 2017, RBS was forced to pay $5.5 billion in a separate settlement with the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Let's not forget how the banks pushed forward collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) leading up the housing crisis in 2007. 

Alongside credit default swaps and mortgage backed securities, we saw the bubble expand and burst. They're doing it again and this time it's going to be far worse. They have learned how to better prop up a bubble, centralized market. It'll only get heavier and crash harder. 

In fact, Goldman Sachs investors just recently won their right to sue over CDOs. It's an infinite cycle. The banks are insolvent/bankrupt and yet we continue to depend on these entities which benefit from our debt. Same as the state. 

Time to break free, learn how to be self sustainable, independent and financially free. Decentralize everything and rule yourself.

Sentiment Has Changed Drastically in the Last Month For Precious Metals

Brett sees severe capitulation across the board from the metals to the majors and down to the juniors. Most of the majors are at or near 52-week lows. 

This looks like scary times, and both gold and silver are incredibly volatile right now. The sentiment has changed drastically from just a month ago. 

What we have seen for the last two years is gold stuck in a channel. It was looking like gold and silver were setting up for a very good run, but that did not materialize. He warns that the market may continue to be oversold for some time. 

With this latest market decline, a lot of issuers were caught off guard. Many are in a vulnerable position with their stock holdings down forty percent. Investors need to be ready to take advantage of opportunities. You do not want to be holding companies that need to raise capital in the next year as they will likely get very unfavorable terms. 

You want to understand the financial situation of the companies you do hold and where the value truly lies. Royalty and streaming companies can benefit from this type of market. When companies or holders see this level of negative sentiment, they may throw in the towel. 

Historically this is when the real deals are made. Brett outlines how Metalla operates and why they differ from other royalty and streaming companies. 

He says, “Investors get killed when they act on fear, they need to learn to use the fear in the markets to their advantage.”
