Home Depot's Options: A Look at What the Big Money is Thinking

American entrepreneur and business owner Robert Kiyosaki said in an interview, "America is going to be the poorest country in the world, starting now."
Kiyosaki, known for his book "Rich Dad Poor Dad," was interviewed on a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zHt5Mdr0QFk">podcast</a> while he was in India for Growth Summit India 2023. He talked about visiting Mumbai during this trip, saying, "I always go to slums. So, this time, I went to the slums of Mumbai. And I'm looking at, talking to people. But what shocked most people was that America had never had slums like that. Today, slums are everywhere across America."
Don't Miss:
<ul>
<li>Are you richer than most people you know?<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-richer-than-most-people"> Here&#8217;s the net worth you need at every age to be above average.</a></li>
<li>Rory McIlroy&#8217;s mansion in Florida is worth $22 million today, doubling from 2017 —<a href="https://benzinga.com/money/rory-mcilroys-florida-mansion-doubled-in-value"> here&#8217;s how to get started investing in real estate with just $100</a></li>
</ul>
He added, "The slums of Mumbai are spreading across America," and "San Francisco used to be the most beautiful city in America in my opinion … I worked in San Francisco and all that. Now, you don&#8217;t walk in the streets because it&#8217;s like the slums of Mumbai."&nbsp;
In more than an hour-long discussion, Kiyosaki discussed many different topics. For instance, he compared the U.S. dollar to toilet paper and called fiat currency fake, saying, "This is toilet paper, and our schoolteachers will never tell us this because the schoolteachers are Marxists. They're good people."&nbsp;
He added, "Everybody who works for dollars, yen, pesos, rupee – this is fake. Stupid people work for this stuff."

When he later shared his thoughts on inflation, he pointed out, &#8220;There's inflation right now in America. I'm sure it's here too. Many people can't afford to eat anymore; it has become expensive. The homeless people in America, some of them are on drugs, obviously, but a lot of them just <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/real-estate/24/07/39838937/affording-a-home-now-requires-double-the-salary-thanks-to-the-pandemic-check-your-citys-new-reality">can't afford a house</a>."
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Kiyosaki's Favorite Investments</h2>
Kiyosaki said he holds about 60 Bitcoins but warned crypto enthusiasts that "you are messing with the federal government." On the other hand, he strongly supports <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-buy-gold-and-silver">investing in assets like gold and silver</a>.
He also mentioned that "Being a capitalist, I own gold mines, and I own silver mines. So when the dollar crashes, I get richer."
Nevertheless, investors have several options to gain exposure to precious metals. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/OR">Osisko Gold Royalties Ltd</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/OR#NYSE">OR</a>) acquires and manages precious metal royalties, allowing the company to earn a percentage of the revenue from mines worldwide. The benefit of investing in Osisko Gold Royalties instead of bullion is that the company pays a dividend with a 0.97% annual yield.
Trending: Many are surprised by Mark Cuban&#8217;s advice for lotto winners:<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/mark-cubans-annuity-adv"> Cash or annuity?</a>
Real estate is another of Kiyosaki's favorite investment classes. When asked whether to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/renting-vs-buying-a-home">buy or rent a house</a>, the American business owner said he owns 15,000 houses.
Retail investors can add real estate to their portfolios without buying an entire property or dealing with the hassles of becoming a landlord. Publicly traded REITs offer a simpler and less expensive way to invest in real estate. Companies like <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/24/07/39858849/which-of-these-three-monthly-dividend-reits-will-make-you-the-most-money-in-a-year-with-a-10-000-inv">Realty Income Corp</a> (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/O#NYSE">O</a>) own large portfolios of income-producing properties, and investors get a share of the cash flow. Realty Income pays a monthly dividend to its shareholders with an annual yield of 5.7%.
Fractional ownership is another popular option. Platforms exist that allow investors to buy shares of single-family rentals for<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/bezos-landlord-100-dollars"> as little as $100</a> and earn passive income in addition to long-term gains.
Don&#8217;t take everything highly successful entrepreneurs and business owners say literally. There&#8217;s often a lot of wisdom in their words. However, always do your research and consult with an investment advisor before making any investment decisions.

The following post was written and/or published as a collaboration between Benzinga&rsquo;s in-house sponsored content team and a financial partner of Benzinga.

One of the challenges of investing in small and micro-cap companies has always been access to information&mdash;or lack thereof.&nbsp;

&ldquo;There tends not to be a lot of information about these companies publicly available,&rdquo; said Scott Powell, president, and CEO of Skyline Corporate Communications Group, an investor relations firm. &ldquo;It&rsquo;s not like household names like Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) or Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), which have so much information so readily available. Investors have to work harder to find information about these small public companies.&rdquo;

Though Powell said reaching out to investor relations firms like his can be helpful, he also advised that the best way to learn about a smaller publicly traded company is to hear directly from the company via earnings reports and conference calls.&nbsp;

Technology has helped in this regard. Resources like arnings presentations, transcripts, and press releases for small-cap companies are available on most company websites and platforms like <a href="http://otcmarkets.com">OTC Markets</a>. But Powell said investors don&rsquo;t always make use of this information.&nbsp;

&ldquo;Sometimes investors aren&rsquo;t using the resources available to them, like press releases, like earnings conference calls. A lot of times I&rsquo;ll get calls about XYZ company and the information is clearly there in the most recent earnings press release.&rdquo;

Another valuable tool for investors is virtual conferences, which have also increased public access to executives&mdash;particularly during COVID-19.&nbsp;

This week&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.virtualinvestorconferences.com/events/event-details/october8-investor-conference-?utm_source=Article&amp;utm_medium=Benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=10%2008%2020">Growth Opportunities Investor Conference</a> is one such example. Representatives from 15 small-cap growth companies will provide investors with updates on operations and future plans, as well as take questions from investors and analysts.&nbsp;

The conference will also feature a keynote presentation from Powell and Doug Gerlach, editor-in-chief of SmallCap Informer, which will cover how to research for small-cap stocks.&nbsp;

Below is the schedule for the conference. Each presentation is also available on demand.

To register for the free conference, <a href="https://www.virtualinvestorconferences.com/events/event-details/october8-investor-conference-?utm_source=Article&amp;utm_medium=Benzinga&amp;utm_campaign=10%2008%2020">click here</a>.
