In 2010-12, this Jew was constantly on TV and the JewTubez telling everyone to buy gold, gold stocks, and international stocks and avoid US equities completely, warning of hyperinflation, collapse of the US dollar, and recessions worse than 2008.
He also sold overpriced asset management services through his firm, Euro-Pacific capital, following this investment strategy.
People who listened to him (or worse, invested with Euro-Pacific) had a flat or negative return, during one of the greatest stock bull markets ever.
Then he fled to Puerto Rico, where he pays no income tax, hangs out on the beach, and fucks destitute (especially after the hurricane) chicas with his tiny, circumcised jewcock:

Communication has been poor and infused with false optimism. They are all theory, no substance.

Gold is a REAL ASSET. It is also not overpriced because it is simply real savings. The dollar value of gold is irrelevant. Gold is undervalued and silver is the most undervalued asset on earth.

You value gold and silver in relation to other real assets.

Which is why once the bolivar collapsed in venezeula 1 ounce of silver would buy you 3-4 months worth of food on the black market...yet the dollar value of silver is 18$ and 18$ barely buys you lunch for 2 at taco bell.

see him for what he is: a filter for character flaws.
most people out there do not deserve wealth for various reasons, and each particular flaw has its common filters that prevent them from either becoming or staying rich (if they've gotten rich by accident/luck).

schiff is in place to make sure that certain people that fall for his lies will bind their ressources in an asset that is unlikely to ever multiply by more than 3x - 5x, keeping them from participating in the greatest reorganization of wealth in human history (crypto/BTC).
in other words: all he does is punish weakness.
something like 90% of all people in the west do not even remotely grasp the inherent scam of our financial systems. of those few that do, the majority is still intellectually and morally bankrupt and wouldn't deserve the opportunities brought by immense wealth. schiff "catches" those particular people that are somewhat redpilled about the general state of our economic system but pessimistic by nature, easily scared and risk-averse (born prey), presenting them a faux save-haven for a doomsday scenario that he constantly hypes up, even though recessions only make up like 10-20% of the market cycles.
do not hate these people, embrace them for what they do for you: the more people follow liars like him, the more you can accumulate.

simply do not fall for him or similar filters/gatekeepers of wealth yourself and do not feel for those that get caught either, as you necessarily need to possess negative qualities in order to fall for them in the first place.
if you are not a weakhanded, constantly anxious doomsday-seer and if you understand the rhythm of markets, there is no way in hell you'd listen to someone like him. let him catch idiots and shrug.

Although I dislike Schiffs business practices it doesn’t make him wrong or less smart. He has been right time and time again on a host of issues. From federal reserve interest rate reversals, the crash of 08 and the collapse of blue apron. Hell, even Ron Paul kept raising money towards the end of his campaign when he KNEW he had no chance but he wanted to pocket the extra cash. I mean Ron is one of if the best statesmen this country has ever had and he did that. Nobody is perfect and I’d love to find out who it is you listen to or admire. I bet they’re way more less based than peter and schiff is funny. He actually did a comic stand up for 10 minutes.

Your portfolio is full of crypto and you’re calling gold and silver a scam. It’s not a scam it’s real money. Peter gives advice and people take it. Yes he was a little early on the bubble popping but he’s not wrong in the end, he didn’t know when it would that’s the risk you take in investing. If you want to keep your money you buy gold and hold it, don’t give your money to an asset management firm. The 30 yr yield curve just inverted. That’s the second time the yield curve has inverted in the last two months. The recession is coming, the collapse is coming.

>Posts graph that's distorted by the high inflation of the 60's, 70's and 80's
Purchasing power is probably most accurately represented by the CPI. Which is why you used it in your graph. However, see the attached chart.

Does CPI increase by 8 times from 2000 to 2010? Not even close. But Gold did.

The US Dollar is the thing that most closely correlates with the CPI. Back in 1970, you could seriously argue that Gold was more stable than the US Dollar. Today, there is no argument.

Of course, long-term, the value of the dollar will go down, and Gold will go ... somewhere. Up maybe? Obviously, anybody who is going to own something for 30 years, would be better off with Gold that with cash (or money in the bank). But that doesn't make Gold more stable - it just makes it a better long-term store of value.

And you're a moron. Gold when up from around $250 in 2000, to around $1900 in 2010. That isn't a stable value. No reasonable person can think that's a stable value.

>Inflation is real, gold is money get over it pussy.
1) Inflation is not equal to stability. Gold is less stable than the US Dollar. Obviously, the US Dollar loses value long-term (it's called inflation).

2) Gold is not money. How many stores in your area will take Gold? Zero, or close to it? Then it's not money.

Money isn't some abstract concept. It's a practical term. In some countries with un-usable currencies, people actually use stuff like alcohol, or furs, as money. Do people in Venezuela or Zimbabwe use Gold as money? Largely not.

>Ummmm 100 years ago a good weekly salary was 20$ and an ounce of gold was 20$
Firstly, you're wrong. $20 was a terrible, terrible weekly salary. When the minimum wage was introduced, it was $0.25 per hour, and that was in 1938, which had lower price levels than 1920, due to the bank crisis/depression in 1929. $20 a week would have been poverty wages.

Secondly, so what? Why does that detract from my point?

That $20 invested in Gold would get you $1400 (or so) today, minus taxes. That $20 invested in the Stock Market would get you tens hundreds of thousands of dollars, minus taxes. And that $20 put in a bank account would get you maybe $400, minus taxes.

(If you're wondering why the bank account is so high, it's because bank accounts paid decent interest in the high-inflation period of the 60s, 70s and 80s)

That's not "inflation". Inflation is a rise in prices. That's literally where the word comes from. An "inflation" in price levels.

Again, Goldbugs don't know their history.

1) Recessions, as they are ordinarily defined, have to last more than 6 months. They're literally defined as two quarters of negative economic growth.

2) The majority of the pre-1913 recessions lasted longer than 12 months.

I've explained already. Feel free to take a look at the price of gold. The US Dollar declines in value at about 2%-3% compared to CPI. That's pretty reliable.

Has the US Dollar ever declined by almost 50%, in four years? See attached chart. It went from around 1900 (in 2012 dollars) to around 1050 (in 2016 dollars). Even during the super-volatile 60s, 70s, and 80s, the US dollar never was that volatile.

And I freely admit that I was imprecise. I don't have any way of accurately measuring long-term risk. By it's nature, the long-term happens very infrequently, and so it's impossible to collect a large data set of long-term volatility/returns.

The first part of the sentence is about gold being less stable, than it's followed by a comma and a second part of the sentence, which doesn't specify in what time period gold is less stable, it states that it's poor place for short-term saving because of that, because IT'S A LESS STABLE IN GENERAL. His mistake he can't form his sentences properly.

Gold lost almost 50% of it's value in 4 years. What does "stable" mean to you? Remember that stability and long-term performance mean different things.

Gold is volatile therefore not stable and a shitty short term investment, why don't you get it, you fucking boomer retard. It has the volatility of stocks, nobody would use stocks to store their money short term. That's why a guy like Buffet prefers Bonds over PMs.

Not really. Here's a longer-term chart.

From 1930 to 1970, it's mostly downhill. Same for 1980 to 2000. Also, the timeframe I "nitpicked".

I'm not saying I agree with it, but I think the usual "gold sales pitch to non-stupid investors" is that it's inversely correlated with other assets. That is, Gold goes up when stock/bonds go down. So your overall portfolio is less risky.

It's rather hard to test, though. If the great depression 2.0 happens, will the price of Gold quadruple? I don't know. I'm not sure anyone knows.

I'd agree.

Actually, if I were interested in Gold for it's performance in a depression/recession, I'd probably look into buying marginal gold-mining land.

If you own land, which has a little Gold in it, so that costs $2,000 to extract an ounce of Gold, it's not really worth anything. Gold is $1400/ounce. However, if the price of Gold shoots up and the price of fuel/labor decreases substantially, then it's a solid investment. Since I'd expect all three to happen in a severe recession/depression, you might be able to buy some decent gold-mining land rather cheap, and then rent it out to some gold miner.

But I'm not really interested in Gold, so whatever. And I think most of that land is outside my native country, which would make it even more difficult.

> no one has proven ability to predict a collapse

Austrian Economists have consistently.

Former Finance Minister of Switzerland Graf Schwerin von Krosigk:
"In early 1931 Swiss banker Felix Somary visited me, who became popular as
an economic theorist. [...] On the question, how long the world economic crisis
will endure, he answered, three things needed to happen before it could even be thought of a recovery:
banking in Vienna and Berlin had to be sanitized through a crisis, the English Pound had to disconnect from Gold,
and the Swedish match company of Ivar Kreuger would have to collapse.
In the summer of 1931 the banks crashed, in the late summer the pound was devalued.
When Somary was back in Berlin in '32, he was asked whether he really had to wait for the third event.
Somary did not take anything back, but gave the insurance that the Kreuger company
would be out of business in a short time. Four weeks later Kreuger shot himself in Paris."

Somary also predicted WWI when nobody could even think of it.
Ludwig von Mises 1924 said the biggest Austrian bank "Creditanstalt" would go broke.
Friedrich August von Hayek published several articles in 1929 in which he predicted the end of the boom.
Later, Roland Baader predicted in 2004 that Freddie Mae and Freddie Mac would collapse because of bad housing credits.

And last but not least, Peter Schiff became famous through a series of television appearances (2006-2007)
in which he opposed a variety of financial experts and predicted that a major downturn was imminent.
Schiff had already strongly warned against excessive real estate speculation, mortgage loans and upcoming bailouts over several years.

Bullshit.

A stopped clock is right twice a day. A constant doom-predictor is going to be right several times in their life.

Austrian economists always predict recession/depression. Ron Paul has been doing so since he got into Congress. Peter Schiff has been predicting recession/depression since the 1990s. Sooner or later, they were going to be right, because sooner or later, a serious recession/depression is going to happen.

The trick, is only predicting a recession/depression a few times in your life, and being right ALL of those times.

this is true I work for the financial publishing industry and permabulls like Peter Schiff just cater to a certain segment of investors with their advice (or in Peters case hes selling gold). Theres analysts that have been warning about a recession or decades eventually they will be right and then keep hammering you with their correct calls. they conveniently never talk about all the wrong calls they made. If anyone could consistently predict the markets even a week from now he would be a billionaire and wouldnt need to shill gold or newsletters on the internet, its all a big crapshoot.

I agree with pretty much everything he's saying but what would happen if there was no government involvement and every bezos type decided to call it quits when they have say 500 billion and stop investing? Couldn't we easily end up with a country where the best businessmen end up with say 90% of the country's wealth and simply hoard it all?
