Thank you Peter Schiff

I went all in on gold and silver when gold was at $600, thanks to Peter Schiff's book "Crash Proof." He was right then and ever since about the economy and it would be wise for those new to PMs to listen to what he says. There are now many "wise" gurus that the see the future now that it has been clearly illuminated, but I continue to put more trust in those that called it beforehand. They will hopefully be the ones brave enough to be first to call for a change in current scenery.

If I could just get on Peter's speed dial list for when it's time to sell. image

    one thing is that one wouldn't really need his advice to sell, especially at your buy priceimage
  • QE is an implicit tax on the population. Input costs go up. This is an effective tax increase on everyone in the country. A dollar increase in the price of gasoline is an effective $140 billion dollars a year in additional tax, as just part of the impact. Basic staples are already up about 10% annualized, despite Bernanke's claim of "no inflation." Note that the "tax on the rich" everyone is talking about is a mere $70 billion a year by comparison.
    2. This in turn means lower disposable income for consumers. That in turn hits discretionary spending. And that, in turn, means companies don't need to hire people to provide discretionary goods and services. This is what Bernanke did with QE1. He in fact destroyed job creation, which is a big part of why we still have 10% unemployment! Bernanke CAUSED that unemployment by creating a price ramp in the commodity space!
    3. This, in turn, means more demand for social programs. More unemployment. More Medicaid. More food stamps. More government spending of all sorts. But there is no tax revenue increase coming in to pay for these increased demands (it's all going to the commodity producers) so the government once again turns to the bond market and issues debt to fund this increased spending demand.
    4. Left alone, the bond market will react to this "never]ending" deficit spending cycle by increasing rates in an attempt to cut it off. This in turn provokes The Fed into even more QE to "spur employment and increase asset prices."

    I liked my thread better before it became political! I believe Huffington Post has a political forum, give them a try.

    Good point DerryB!

    Back to basics: Kudos to those that suggested we put our cash into PM's when Gold was at $300 and Silver at $4 an ounce!

    I concur with Schiff. You can catch his radio show on Schiffradio.com at 5 p.m. CDT, although he'll be in Europe starting tomorrow. But he has a sub on the rest of the week. But check out the show.

    Peter Schiff says almost the exact same things that you have just referred to as being political. I'm confused.image

  • "LATEST SHOW
    Today's guest is Robert Prechter, founder and president of Elliott Wave International, on why America's gravest current threat is deflation, which is covered in his new book Conquer The Crash. As always, Peter will take your calls on the politics of finance and the economy."

    Why is Peter having this moron on his show?

    All the gold bugs have been right for the last 10 years.
    The one who calls when to sell is the important one.

    derryb, now I'm really confused! Is that what you think Schiff is saying? Sell gold?

  • Is Peter Schiff's radio show any good? Someone recommended it to me, but haven't checked it out yet.

    Yes. It's on daily so it sounds repetitive, but he has guests on his show. This week he's in Europe and has a comrad from Europacific fillingin for him. It's good. You'd enjoy it. Schiffradio.com--5 p.m. CDT.

    I'm a paid subscriber to his show - I listen on iTunes, you can also get the first 10mn for free.

    He's launched a precious metal store, and he had his partner as a guest on his show yesterday. The guy (incidentally, Peter's cousin) said it takes about 10 days to process & ship orders! Silver takes at least 2 weeks (it might be an additional 2 weeks, it wasn't clear. I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt.) What's up with that? Ten days to process and ship orders???? This seems crazy to me.

    Furthermore, I think that it's more about being able to see things as they really are, than it is about predicting the future. If you can see somewhat clearly and have any type of analytical or rational mind, then the predictions aren't as critical - because you've already taken the possibilities into account and have arranged your finances accordingly.

    Sinclair and Schiff are valuable resources because they keep important issues on the top of the pile for further consideration. And I agree with that. I'd rather be somewhat correct about the direction of a trend than the timing of the peak or the trough. I don't get my answers from either of them, but I continue to weigh the issues that they lay down in front of me. It keeps me thinking and generally - out of trouble.

    I bot a basket of mining stocks --xme-- when he mentioned a couple of months ago that they hadn't participated in the rally in the metals. Well the fund has risen nicely in the paste several weeks.

    Switched all my mining stocks over to AGQ when silver was at 25. Have been doing great with this double pumper ETF.
