On Jan. 26, he took to X to double down on what <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/07/40041316/laugh-all-you-want-robert-kiyosaki-rich-dad-poor-dad-warns-millions-of-401-k-s-and-iras-will-be-">he's been warning about for years</a>: a massive stock market crash. This time, though, he's naming a specific date – February 2025 – as the tipping point for what he calls "the biggest stock market crash in history."
In his post, Kiyosaki referenced his 2013 book, Rich Dad's Prophecy, where he claimed this crash was inevitable. But it's not just doom and gloom from him. Kiyosaki argues that market crashes create opportunities for those prepared, saying everything from cars to houses will "go on sale." He wrote, "Good news because in a crash everything goes on sale. Cars and houses on sale now."

</ul>
Even more interestingly, he predicts that billions will leave traditional investments like stocks and bonds, flowing into assets like Bitcoin, gold and silver. He advises people to "get out of fake and into real," emphasizing that even owning a single Satoshi could be enough to secure wealth in the chaos.
But Kiyosaki isn't alone in predicting trouble.
Goldman Sachs analysts also warn of a significant market correction, estimating a potential 30% drop in 2025. Their concerns stem from high valuations and ongoing economic uncertainty. Economist Harry Dent is on a similar page, pointing to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/11/42236424/1-in-5-dollars-the-government-expends-goes-to-repaying-investors-heres-why-this-spells-trouble-for-trump-and-doge">America's growing private debt</a> as a time bomb waiting to go off.

Meanwhile, Jeremy Grantham, a veteran investor known for spotting financial bubbles, is predicting a "cataclysmic decline" in the stock market. He attributes this to overvaluation, demographic shifts like declining population growth, and global challenges such as climate change.
With heavyweights like Kiyosaki, Goldman Sachs, Dent and Grantham all predicting a downturn, the message is clear: prepare now. While the specifics of these warnings differ, they all share a common theme – markets are fragile, and significant challenges are ahead.
For the average investor, this means reassessing your financial strategy. Diversification becomes even more critical in uncertain times. Kiyosaki suggests moving from traditional "fake" assets like stocks and bonds into alternatives like cryptocurrency, gold and silver. While his Bitcoin predictions of "boom, boom, boom" may seem extreme, crypto has historically performed well during periods of economic uncertainty.

No one can predict the future with absolute certainty, but financial experts' growing chorus of warnings is hard to ignore.

Outlook
The company anticipates that adjusted earnings per share for the full year 2025 will be in the range of $7.75 to $8.05, which at the mid-point represents EPS growth of 7% excluding the impact of foreign currency translation and a higher tax rate. This range is based on current global economic activity and foreign exchange rates, ongoing soft global industrial production, and mixed demand across the various regions in which we operate. The company expects that annual EPS growth will be weighted toward the second half of 2025 as global industrial demand weakened and the U.S. dollar strengthened in the second half of 2024. Additionally, we expect to realize more than $100 million in annualized share gains in our Industrial Coatings segment beginning in the second half of the year.
Additional information related to 2025 financial projections is posted within the slides and prepared commentary associated with the fourth quarter earnings documents on the Investors section of PPG.com.
The term organic sales as used in this press release is defined as net sales excluding the impact of currency, acquisitions and divestitures.

Billionaire Jeff Bezos appears to have a major conflict of interest on his hands with a newspaper he owns trying to get records from another<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/04/20675447/5-things-you-might-not-know-about-jeff-bezos"> company he founded.</a>
What Happened: While he's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/21/07/21849808/jeff-bezos-is-officially-no-longer-the-amazon-ceo">no longer the CEO</a> of Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), Bezos remains a shareholder and the executive chairman of the company.
This means that a lawsuit filed by Amazon against the Washington Post, which Bezos owns, now has the billionaire on both sides of the legal fight.
The Washington Post is trying to obtain records related to Amazon's Project Kuiper satellite business, <a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/jeff-bezos-amazon-sues-block-records-requests-washington-post-1236121933/">according </a>to The Hollywood Reporter.
Amazon is fighting back and has sued to block the records request as the e-commerce company states releasing the information could be harmful as it contains trade secrets.
The report says items requested by the news outlet include inspection records, investigation notes and complaints related to visits to the company by the Washington Department of Labor and Industries.
Amazon says the records contain proprietary satellite designs and other information that could give competitors "a competitive edge."
Amazon has not sued the newspaper directly, instead filing a lawsuit against a Washington state agency that agreed to disclose the records. The company is not seeking to block the release of all of the requested records, only a small portion that it believes contains trade secrets.
You may not be a billionaire like Jeff Bezos, but you can uncover hidden gems in the stock market using our proprietary data and pattern recognition — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/01/43201590/benzinga-stock-whisper-index-5-stocks-investors-secretly-monitor-but-dont-talk-about-yet-2">check out five stocks flying under the radar that deserve your attention.</a>
Why It's Important: The news of the battle by The Washington Post against Amazon comes as the newspaper faces public pushback after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41557083/jeff-bezos-ends-washington-posts-36-year-tradition-of-endorsements-leaving-staff-roiled">not endorsing a candidate </a>for president for the first time since 1988.
The decision was said to have been made by Bezos, who bought the newspaper in 2013. The move led to the exit of several newspaper workers and saw around 250,000 subscribers cancel their subscriptions as a result.
The battle between The Washington Post and Amazon and the outcome could become a storyline for Bezos and whether or not billionaires should own news outlets.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has turned increasingly political in recent years, a move that may have hurt the brand value of the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/25/01/43172806/tesla-lost-15-billion-in-brand-value-in-2024-report-says-did-elon-musks-political-push-hurt-ev-giant">electric vehicle company.</a>
While Musk is OK with supporting President Donald Trump and the end of the $7,500 federal tax credit, the billionaire also has his eyes set on a sustainable future.
What Happened: A proposed end to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/trading-ideas/25/01/43116755/trumps-plan-to-end-7500-ev-tax-credits-could-be-devastating-for-telsa-rivals-poll-says-could-be-bullish-for-elon-musks-company">$7,500 EV tax credit </a>by Trump is one of the biggest storylines for the electric vehicle sector and Musk is a supporter of making such a change.
Musk and Tesla analysts believe the decision to end the credit would be bad for Tesla in the short term, but ultimately benefit the company in the long term as it would be tougher on competitors.
The Tesla CEO was asked about electric vehicle policies under Trump during the company's<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43321103/tesla-q4-earnings-highlights-revenue-miss-eps-miss-ev-updates-automaker-says-2025-will-be-a-seminal-year"> fourth-quarter earnings call.</a>
An analyst asked about plans to reverse the "EV mandate" and potential slowdowns of electric vehicle demand in the U.S. due to regulations.
Musk shied away from the question but did highlight his continued belief on electric vehicles being a big part of the future.
"At this point, I think that sustainable transport is inevitable," Musk said, as shared by <a href="https://insideevs.com/news/749018/musk-q4-call-ev-regulations/">InsideEVs</a>. "I'm highly confident that all transport will be autonomous, electric, including aircraft, and that simply, it can't be stopped."
Musk went on to compare the rise of electric vehicles to the introduction of the internal combustion engine.
"Even if you've been the biggest horse advocate on Earth … like, ‘horses are the way, not these new-fangled automobiles,' you can't stop the advent of the automobile and you can't stop the advent of electric cars. It's going to happen."
The Tesla CEO said the only thing holding back electric vehicles previously was range, which has been solved.

</ul>
Why It's Important: While investors and analysts wanted to hear about Musk's relationship with Trump, what his role<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently"> at the D.O.G.E. </a>means for his time commitment at Tesla and how Trump's EV policies could shape the industry, the earnings call left many questions unanswered.
Trump has been a vocal critic of electric vehicles and also previously said he would ban autonomous vehicles from U.S. roads, a move that would severely hurt the future growth plan of Tesla and its robotaxis.
New Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy shared in a memo that the previous push by Joe Biden's administration for electric vehicles was "forced" on people.
Musk's comments about the future being all-electric and autonomous go against the commentary of Trump and his administration, which could make the friendship between the billionaire and president an interesting development to watch as Musk will likely have to push for support of autonomous vehicles.
Rivian Automotive CEO RJ Scaringe recently <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43279098/rivian-ceo-brushes-off-7500-electric-vehicle-tax-credit-concerns-evs-are-not-a-political-thing">shared a similar commentary</a> of keeping his eyes on the future and ignoring the short-term "speed bumps" created by items like the end of the federal tax credit.
&#8220;I started the company with the view of making highly compelling products, and none of my decision to start Rivian had anything to do with what the policy was going to look like,&#8221; Scaringe said.
Scaringe said that the potential elimination of the $7,500 tax credit would be &#8220;equally applied to all,&#8221; which could mean a level playing field for all companies in the electric vehicle sector.
&#8220;The future of transportation will be electric.&#8221;
Scaringe said policy revisions like this can&#8217;t slow down the long-term trend of electric vehicle growth and the necessity of having more electric vehicles on the road.
&#8220;This is not a political thing. It&#8217;s not like the left wants to move to electrification. It&#8217;s that the future of transportation will be electric.&#8221;

Technical Analyst Clive Maund takes a look at Aztec Minerals Corp. to explain why he believes it is a Strong Buy.

Aztec Minerals Corp. (OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AZZTF#OTC">AZZTF</a>) is primarily an established gold-silver exploration company that is positioned to make a potentially big discovery or discoveries in mining-friendly areas in Arizona and NW Mexico with a view to greatly increasing its value which will likely result in it being bought out at a premium by a major mining company.

The reason that it is of interest to us as investors and speculators is that its shares are currently trading at relatively low prices at a time when the entire mining sector is at the point of embarking on a major bull market for a variety of reasons likely to be of unprecedented proportions.

Before examining the latest stock charts for Aztec, we will overview the fundamentals of the company using a range of slides lifted from its latest investor deck, but note that we will not be looking at those detailing the geology of the company&#39;s properties for reasons of space and because we don&#39;t need to go into this kind of detail. Those of you who have knowledge of geology and are interested can, of course, find this information in the deck linked above.

So, we&#39;ll start with an overview of the company.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120648_1.jpg" style="height:740px; width:1000px" />

This slide from the deck makes the case for buying the stock on one page, provided that this is confirmed by what we are seeing on the stock charts, and it is.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120711_2.jpg" style="height:752px; width:1000px" />

The next slide shows the locations of the company&#39;s two big properties, one just north of the border near Tombstone, Arizona, and the other not too far away in NW Mexico.

The Tombstone property is primarily gold and silver, and the Cervantes property is mainly gold.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120730_3.jpg" style="height:751px; width:1000px" />

Now, we&#39;ll briefly overview these two big properties, starting with Tombstone.

The map on the following slide shows Tombstone&#39;s location relative to other deposits in the area, some of which are BIG, like the Taylor deposit found by Arizona Mining, which was subsequently gobbled up by South32, resulting in massive windfall gains for investors in the company, and Tombstone has similar potential.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120758_4.jpg" style="height:749px; width:1000px" />

The following slide lists the attributes of the Tombstone property, in which the company has a 75% joint venture interest, and it shows a photo of the oval-shaped Contention Pit.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120819_5.jpg" style="height:747px; width:1000px" />

The location and environs of the other big property, the Cervantes property in NW Mexico, is shown on this slide, and it is interesting to see that there are other big and mid-cap companies operating nearby, such as Agnico-Eagle, Alamos Gold, Minera Alamos, and Osisko, and they wouldn&#39;t be in the area without good reason.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120839_6.jpg" style="height:749px; width:1000px" />

The following slide lists the attributes of the Cervantes property.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430120900_7.jpg" style="height:743px; width:1000px" />

The company makes no secret of the fact that it will become a takeover target if it makes a sizeable discovery as looks likely and gives the example of what happened to the stock price of Arizona Mining after it discovered the massive Taylor deposit and was then bought out by South32.

The last slide shows the capital structure, and it is of note that of the 109 million shares in issue, insiders own 14%, with 35% being closely held, and Alamos Gold is a strategic investor.

Now, we will examine the latest stock charts for Aztec Minerals to see what they have to say about its prospects.

We will start by looking at the long-term 9-year chart in order to gain a &quot;big picture&quot; perspective of the history of the stock and what it implies for the future. On this chart, we can see that the stock has been in a persistent bear market since mid-2020 for almost four years now; however, for various reasons, this bear market is thought to have run its course, with the final low being put in in February.

One big reason is that all of the action from the mid-2020 spike high is thought to constitute the Handle of the giant Cup and Handle base depicted on the chart. This is a very important observation because, if true, it implies that the stock will, in due course, blast right out of the top of this pattern, and that is a perfectly reasonable expectation given that gold, silver, and copper are beginning what should prove to be their greatest bull markets of all time &mdash; and here we should note that the price of the stock will triple from the current position even before it breaks out of the top of the Cup and Handle base.

Before leaving this chart, it is worth observing the upside volume buildup in recent months that has caused the Accumulation line to take a turn for the better &mdash; this is a sign that the giant base pattern is complete and that a new bull market is about to start, which makes sense given that the great metals bull market has now begun.

Zooming in now using a 2-year chart, we see that a severe decline followed the spike high almost a year ago last April, and this has been followed by a base pattern building out from last October that is best classified as a Double Bottom.

We can see that there has been good upside volume as this base pattern has formed, which has driven the Accumulation line higher. This is bullish. The sharp rally around the start of this month is a sign that this base pattern is complete, and we will now look at recent action in more detail on a 7-month chart, this time period being selected to enable us to see the first low of base pattern which occurred last October.

<img alt="" class="No_img_class" src="https://www.theaureport.com/images/auto_up/2024430121035_11.jpg" style="height:857px; width:670px" />

On the 7-month chart, we can see the base pattern almost entirely, and the attempt to break out from it was made early in April. Although the price has reacted back into the base pattern following the breakout attempt, this action is not viewed as bearish at all &mdash; on the contrary, the attempt at a breakout has served to clear some of the overhanging supply and swung the moving averages into better alignment, paving the way for a more sustained upleg soon.

In addition, we can see that a bullish cross of the moving averages is occurring now, and with the reaction of the past couple of weeks having completely neutralized the earlier overbought condition, all the pieces are in place for the stock to advance anew in a second upleg whose gains will be less likely to be surrendered.

Aztec Minerals is therefore rated a Strong Buy for all timeframes.
