New Delhi: In the domestic market, silver rates fell further on Wednesday, the last trading session of 2025 on profit booking after the white metal posted a record rally this year.
Silver futures for March 2026 on MCX tumbled 4.63 per cent to Rs 2,39,395 per kg and gold futures for February 2026 slipped 0.51 per cent to Rs 1,35,973 per 10 grams in morning trade. Domestic spot gold prices have surged over 76 per cent year‑to‑date and international gold prices over 70 per cent in 2025, on track for their strongest annual performance since 1979.
This change in silver prices has switched investor attention towards the white metal, prompting debate about whether investors should buy now or wait, especially in light of the recent comments from Robert Kiyosaki, the bestselling author of Rich Dad Poor Dad. In a post on X, Kiyosaki questioned whether the silver bubble was about to burst, warning against buying out of fear of missing out.
In the X post, Kiyosaki asked, "Silver bubble about to burst?" He went on to warn of a looming correction, suggesting a surge of FOMO-driven buying might result in a disaster. "FOMO Fear of Missing Out MANIA crash is coming. If you are planning on investing in silver be patient. Wait for a crash then GO or NO," he wrote.
Kiyosaki predicted that the white metal will eventually rise to $200, potentially an ounce by 2026. "I believe silver will go through $100 in 2026….possibly $200 an ounce," he wrote.
Kiyosaki made a powerful point that profit is made when we buy and not when we sell and advised savvy investors to be patient. "Yet remember I my Rich Dads lesson: 'Your profit is made when you buy….NOT when you sell.' Patience is essential for smart investors," he wrote.As of January 1, 2026, Robert Kiyosaki, the author of Rich Dad Poor Dad, has become even more aggressive in his "pro-silver" stance. Over the last week of 2025, he issued a series of bold predictions, claiming that silver is currently "hotter than gold" and heading toward a massive breakout.
Here is what he is telling investors right now:
1. The $200 Price Target
Kiyosaki has set a target of $200 per ounce for silver by the end of 2026.
Current Context: With silver trading around $70–$75 (up over 140% in 2025), Kiyosaki argues that if you think the metal is at an all-time high, "you're too late" in your thinking.
His Logic: He believes silver is entering a "price discovery" phase driven by extreme industrial demand (AI, solar, EVs) and a declining trust in the U.S. dollar.
2. "The Poor Man’s Gold"
Kiyosaki famously calls silver the "poor man's gold" because it is still more accessible to the average person than gold, which recently crossed historic levels (over ₹1.39 lakh per 10g in India).
He recently posted that if he had only $100, he would spend it on silver coins rather than saving the cash.
He views silver as the ultimate "real money" asset for people looking to protect their wealth from what he calls the "biggest crash in world history."
3. Industrial Demand vs. "Fake" Money
Kiyosaki’s bullishness isn't just about inflation; it’s about scarcity:
Industrial Utility: He points out that silver is consumed in industry (electronics, medical, green tech), whereas gold is mostly stored. This makes silver's supply more vulnerable to a squeeze.
The "Crash" Hedge: He warns that as AI wipes out jobs and the real estate market faces pressure, only "hard assets" like silver, gold, Bitcoin, and Ethereum will survive the fallout.
Current Silver Market Snapshot (Early 2026)
| Metric | Estimated Value |
| Global Spot Price | ~$72 / ounce |
| India MCX Price | ~₹2.35 - 2.40 lakh / kg |
| 2025 Performance | ~140% - 150% gain |
| Kiyosaki 2026 Target | $200 / ounce |
Important Reality Check
While Kiyosaki is famously optimistic about precious metals, institutional brokerages are more conservative:
Bank of America recently set a 2026 target for silver at $65.
Analysts warn that silver is "high-beta," meaning it can crash just as fast as it rises if industrial demand slows or if the Federal Reserve stops cutting rates.
Kiyosaki's Advice: "Don't just listen to me. Do your own research, start small, and let your wealth be in your head and your hands."
