Deep dives
Peter Schiff discusses the state of the current economy and predicts a severe recession.
Peter Schiff believes that the current economy is worse than in 2008 and predicts a greater recession ahead. He points to rising inflation numbers, consumer borrowing and spending, and government spending as factors that will contribute to the severity of the recession. Schiff also highlights the problems with the Federal Reserve's actions and its inability to control inflation. He believes that the markets are not prepared for the crash landing that is coming.
Schiff explains the ineffectiveness of the Federal Reserve's actions and the risk of inflation.
Schiff argues that the Federal Reserve's attempt to tighten monetary policy and control inflation has been ineffective. He points out that consumers are not reducing borrowing and spending despite high interest rates, and government spending continues to rise. Schiff believes that inflation is not dead and buried, as the markets believe, but rather alive and well. He warns that inflation is headed back up and expects it to worsen in the coming years. Schiff also criticizes the Fed's inability to raise interest rates due to the fragile economy.
Schiff discusses the potential impact of inflation on gold and Bitcoin.
Schiff predicts that inflation will lead to a rise in the price of gold. He believes that gold is a safer and more reliable store of value compared to Bitcoin, which he sees as a speculative asset. While acknowledging the potential for Bitcoin to rally further, Schiff does not see enough upside in Bitcoin at its current price. He advises investors to consider gold mining stocks as a better alternative for potential gains and a safe haven store of value.
Schiff shares his thoughts on central banks and their approach to reserves.
Schiff dismisses the possibility of central banks buying Bitcoin as a reserve asset. He argues that central banks seek conservative and liquid assets to protect their currencies, and Bitcoin does not fit the criteria. Schiff believes that central banks are more likely to continue buying gold and that gold remains the ultimate safe haven store of value. He emphasizes that gold does not rely on belief or speculation and maintains its value regardless of people's opinions.
Schiff provides insights on his investment strategy, including gold stocks and conservative dividend-paying companies.
Schiff discusses his investment allocation, which includes a significant portion in gold stocks, although he acknowledges that his personal overinvestment may not be suitable for everyone. He also invests in conservative dividend-paying companies that offer stable returns and do not depend on the price of commodities like gold. Schiff advises investors to focus on value, dividends, and income when selecting investments. He also highlights the importance of investing abroad and diversifying portfolios in anticipation of potential market challenges in the future.
Peter Schiff is the Chief Economist of Euro Pacific Asset Management, and the Chairman of Schiff Gold. In this conversation, we talk about the current US economy, inflation, soft landing, global liquidity, national debt, credit system, gold, stocks, and why he is mentioning bitcoin and $100,000 in the same sentence.
