Portfolio Pulse from Shanthi Rexaline
Robert Kiyosaki, author of 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad', has reiterated his support for gold, silver, and Bitcoin, and predicted the demise of the dollar. He referred to gold as 'God's Dollar' and 'stored financial energy'. Kiyosaki has previously warned that the dollar could lose favor due to the proposed launch of a common currency by the BRICS nations, tied to gold. However, a South African official clarified that a common BRICS currency would not be discussed at the upcoming meeting. Kiyosaki also warned of a potential crash following Fitch's downgrade of the U.S. sovereign rating. The SPDR Gold Shares (NYSE:GLD), an ETF providing access to the gold bullion market, ended Friday’s session at $177.60, up 4.7% this year.
