Stijn Schmitz welcomes Peter Schiff to the show. Peter Schiff is CEO of Euro Pacific Asset Management, and Chairman of Schiff Gold. The discussion centers on the current economic landscape, focusing on precious metals, monetary policy, and global economic shifts. Schiff argues that the Federal Reserve has effectively returned to quantitative easing by purchasing T-bills and expanding its balance sheet. He believes this signals a highly accommodative monetary policy that will continue to fuel inflation and prop up economic bubbles. The conversation highlights the ongoing transfer of wealth from the West to the East, with central banks in Eastern countries accumulating gold at unprecedented rates.

Regarding precious metals, Schiff is bullish on both gold and silver. He predicts silver could reach $100 per ounce in the next year and believes the current bull market is still in its early stages. He emphasizes that investors should not wait for pullbacks but start building positions now, as the long-term trajectory for precious metals looks promising.

The discussion also explores the broader economic challenges facing the United States, including unsustainable government debt, declining industrial capacity, and the potential loss of global reserve currency status. Schiff is critical of current economic policies, arguing that the country needs significant structural changes to address its fundamental economic weaknesses. On investment strategy, Schiff recommends a diversified approach that includes physical gold and silver, mining stocks, and international value stocks. Schiff’s outlook is cautiously optimistic about precious metals while remaining pessimistic about the U.S. economic trajectory. He believes the current trends will continue, with gold and silver serving as critical safe havens as global economic dynamics continue to shift.
