Schiff is a joke. OK, got lucky once. Has been saying gold will be $5K oz since 2012. Said that economy will tank starting in 2016....
Keep in mind he's a gold DEALER.
From CNBC: When asked about this call (gold at $5k and major recession), he maintained in an email to CNBC that "most of those jobs" that have been created "will be lost in the coming recession that will likely begin in 2016.

Anyway, perma bulls could be right eventually. My opinion is not, though.
What will it take to get there, though again. I could be wrong, right?
So what are the signs? Hyperinflation? That seems late stage,but going with that then we are nowhere close to hyperinflation.
But what would it take to get there? A dollar collapse. We are nowhere near that.
So, my question has changed: why predict doom and gloom near-term when it isn't on the horizon? Credibility is at stake.
We have been witnessing a slow motion dollar collapse since the 1800's, but it has sped up since Nixon, FDR, and Brenton Woods. The funny thing people fail to realize is that in hyperinflation, real estate and stock indexes go up the exact same equivalent of gold. You can pick anything BUT fiat to hedge against hyperinflation. People many times get hyperinflation and the deflationary events scrambled because they understand that people run for the safety of precious metals in times of crisis. But, the key thing to remember, is that the crises never last very long.
Also, stock indexes and real estate can be just as good of investments against inflation. It just depends on your timing. One more thing to remember is that CPI inflation, household inflation, asset inflation, and regular inflation are all separate types of inflation and occur in very different parts of the cycle. So, when you hear the words "inflation" and "hyperinflation," they don't apply to every single entity of property at the same time. Follow me @UNSCAMMABLE on twitter for more investing knowledge.
Venezuela's been having problems already for years now. Weimar Germany had a problem with hyperinflation for years also - you can study their coinage, paper currency or postage stamps for a full impact of what that meant and for how long.

People like Schiff are not wrong, they just fail to grasp the power of the prolongers. They are only very early in their lack of confidence. The rest of America will lose theirs when it is too late to plan for it.
I'll admit I'm guilty of the same failure in recognizing the power and will of the money controllers. It does not weaken my belief in the day of reckoning, it only affects my belief in how soon it will appear. It will appear.

I believe he is correct on the coming crisis and I believe we will know he was correct in far less than 50 years. Hopefully this the major difference it what you economically believe and what I economically believe. It is my hope that you and others in your realm of denial do in fact see the warning signs.
Anyone who recognizes the boom/bust cycles created by modern monetary policy/action knows that it is only a matter of time. Debt is the leading cause of these cycles and is best illustrated by a chart I posted elsewhere (note the average time span between recessions):

China sells Panda gold coins at a significant mark-up over gold value. They use this money to buy more raw gold which they get at near melt value. They repeat this cycle over and over and the amount of gold they have greatly increases over time.

I agree, and while that's true it's concerning to me that other people in other countries always seem to blame the US for their problems but don't hold their politicians or bankers any more accountable than we do ours, as the debt continues to spiral out of control everywhere. I agree with Reagan, we are the last, best hope.
There will be no equitable solutions anywhere if we lose our republic, and if the Fed is allowed to continue to control the economy using debt - that is what will happen. Accountability has to start somewhere.

JP Morgan cornered both the gold and silver markets years ago. Note that every time fundamentals kick in and PMs start to advance, they suddenly get wacked by "buyer unknown" futures shorts. . . like clock work. PMs will not reach new highs until JPM decides to let them. Also note that JPM has NEVER lost money in their PM futures market trading, they always miraculously know when to sell the paper and when to buy it. JPM is the poster child on how to corner a market.
JPM's current limit on Gold appears to be $1,200.

The dollar is on one side of 87% of forex transactions. There isn’t a currency that could overtake the dollar for years and years.
The dollar is on one side of 87% of forex transactions. There isn’t a currency that could overtake the dollar for years and years
China is #13 at 1.7% and 5 of the top 10 currency banks are US. It looks like we could easily manipulate any currency or commodity.
Which is exactly the problem. The U.S. benefits from having the world's reserve currency - no doubt about it. The problem therein lies in the fact that not everyone pays their bills for one reason or another, and when the defaults begin to roll downhill - someone will be "holding the bag". The bagholders certainly won't be happy, and that's when the wrestling match will begin (behind closed doors, ala' Lehman, BoA, etc..)
The problem with THAT, is that there is massively much more leveraged debt than liquidity around the world - so either the bailouts get larger and larger or the defaults will trigger more and more bankruptcies and defaults in all of the leveraged entities around the world who can't get paid in time to service their own leveraged debt positions.
It's not just a question of the U.S. printing more money (although that will certainly happen). It's a question of who owes whom, and what happens when you don't get paid. There WILL be a problem. We just don't get to know the details because we aren't the big boys involved in the deals being made.
Well, maybe except for one person I can think of.
There may be a "debt jubilee" but unfortunately, it won't trickle down to individuals' debts. It will only apply to tbtf entities. Sound familiar? At some point, when enough ordinary people are involved, a general strike will happen in protest. It just depends on how bad it gets.
In this country, we aren't as self-reliant as our grandparents were, and the generations that came after us are even less so. Could be a big deal even here. We may dodge the bullet simply based on the depth and breadth of our existing economy and reservoir of wealth. We shall see.
Yesterday, I read a blog that really gave me pause. It was well-written and had too many interesting details to be 100% conspiracy bs. It does seem that gold plays a larger role in government affairs than is mentioned very often. We live in interesting times.
