Is an Everything Crash Coming?
Kiyosaki sees crashes as an opportunity to build wealth.
In a recentposton X, he noted, Crashes are the best time to get rich.
Bargains will float to the surface.
And hes not alone in this thinking.
The hardest part of capitalizing on a market crash is the timing.
Kiyosaki has a history of trying to predict where the market will go.
Kiyosaki has been predicting a crash since at least 2011.
Part of the reason we havent seen another crash is because of Federal Reserve intervention.
Why Havent We Seen a Large Crash in So Long?
The Federal Reserve has tools for fighting recessions.
When the Fed does either of these, it usually has an inflationary effect.
Quantitative easing in particular has been found to increase the prices of investments such as real estate.
Central banks worldwide have played a significant role in preventing serious recessions by injecting liquidity into the markets.
These measures have helped sustainconsumer spending and business investmentsin times of economic slowdown.
However, they may have unforeseen consequences in the future.
Investing During a Crash
So what should you do if the market does crash?
If you venture to invest in assets that are rapidly losing value, you may end up getting cut.
However, as Kiyosaki has noted, crashes can present wealth-building opportunities.
The sharp declines in stock prices that occur during acrisis or recessionmay present good opportunities to invest.
Some companies may be undervalued by the market.
Others may have a business model that makes them more resilient to an economic downturn, according toFulton Bank.
The problem is that many people may underestimate a crash.
During thedot-com bubble market crashin 2000, many companies never recovered from their peaks.
Those that did took a long time to do so.
For example, Amazon stock crashed 90% and took seven years to recover.
