While experts caution against relying solely on the Cardboard Box Index due to its inherent volatility, they acknowledge its potential when used in conjunction with other indicators. Kiyosaki's emphasis on this index underscores his concern over a possible slowdown in manufacturing, prompting him to advise followers to take immediate action.
