Peter Schiff warned us! (VID) - GoFuckYourself.com

Adam_M · 11-20-2008, 06:56 PM

These "experts" laughed in his face!

StuBradley · 11-20-2008, 07:16 PM

Yes they did. Who's laughing now?

IllTestYourGirls · 11-20-2008, 07:19 PM

He gave a good speech in 06 to real estate agents that is on Youtube. I dont have the link of hand but if you do a search you will find it. The video is about an hour long and he gave great detail of the problems that the fed and the market were creating. Most of his predictions in that speech came true.

Fucking Ben Stein, what a retard

Here's the link: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6G3Qefbt0n4

Dude's so right on, it's scary.

However, I hope he's not right on his ultimate prediction--the USD will be essentially worthless. Another guy who predicted the crash is putting all his money on China.

onwebcam · 11-20-2008, 09:06 PM

Better start looking into the New World Order. This is real stuff people. They are intentionally causing the US to collapse as will the entire world financial system. Everyone will be robbing and killing each other for something to eat if we as a people don't put a stop to it.

onwebcam · 11-20-2008, 09:15 PM

And with the new proposed tax on cows and pigs under the guise of "methane emissions" imagine how much food is going to cost. Before you know it we'll be paying a tax on farting.

Sadly no one really cares or even trys to understand the real reason we are here. MSM has been telling people not to sell since 11,000. They have been wrong the whole way. Listen to the wording of MSM tomorrow IF the market rebounds they will be saying things like "the market HAS rebounded from yesterdays loses" or "the market is rallying from yesterdays loses" When in FACT the only market trend is down.

DaddyHalbucks · 11-20-2008, 09:38 PM

That's important to note.

The problem with Schiff is that he never offers any solutions.

None....none whatsoever.

Never....ever.

No solutions.

Except maybe to put a gun in your mouth.

Let's hope that the man's not thaaaat right

Why should he? He's not in a position to fix anything.. and they don't listen to him anyway..

Tempest · 11-20-2008, 10:25 PM

And so what's the lesson to learn? That no one knows anything about this stuff when it comes right down to it.. They all hold on and wish for luck.. So listen to a bunch of them and make your own decisions.. The sooner people learn that there are no "experts" the better everyone will be.

The recession won't end until people do start spending again. The longer the recession lasts the higher the unemployment numbers will get. Kinda hard to save money when you ain't got no job.

As for producing, produce what? We shipped almost all of our manufacturing jobs overseas years ago. Once the big three automakers go down (and Schiff strongly advises against bailing them out) they'll be no manufacturing jobs left. None, zip, nada, that's nothing to produce.

Like it or not we've got ourselves a service economy now and we're stuck with it.

A classic catch 22, eh?

I love how all the experts said buy Merril Lynch, Bearns Sterns and Goldman Sachs adn Shiff said no way stay away and they all basically called him a fucking reatrd. Who are the real retards. I hope all these fucktards lost everything. So much for trickle down economics. Only time that works is when things go bad. The bad financial dealings fo the rich trickle down and hurt the poor and middle class. Actually more like deluge instead of trickle though.

Do you not pay attention we can NOT have a economy that based on mostly comsumer spending. So no if everyone started spending things won't get better not for long anyways. American compnaies that produce things will have to move factories back to the US if they want to survive. The days of making a kiling off of 5 cent an hour Chinese labor are over. Funny thing is even a retard could tell you that if you ship all the jobs overseas no one will have any money to buy these products even if they are cheaper.

$5 submissions · 11-21-2008, 02:34 AM

Actually, he does. He says go back to 'sound money' (gold standard), slash govt spending, lower taxes, and go through a period of "withdrawal" from the recent capital markets' 'sugar high'. Watch the series: https://youtube.com/watch?v=6G3Qefbt0n4 He gave that lecture WAY before the credit crunch and current crisis.

And those retards represented the majority of American public opinion for the last 25 years. Problem is our governments, both Republican and Democrat, ignored the wishes of the public and rammed NAFTA, and similar garbage, down our throats anyway.

And now....those good paying manufacturing jobs are gone.

Thing is, you can't turn the clock back. It would take f-o-r-e-v-e-r to re-tool our industrial base. Hell, the only thing we manufacture nowadays are weapons and cars and by the looks of it we won't be doing the latter for much longer.

It sucks. It really, really sucks but we've got to play with the hand we're left with.

Cause it's all we got.

buyandsell · 11-21-2008, 08:15 AM

should have listenned to this guy!

ADL Colin · 01-26-2009, 11:38 AM

I read Schiff's most recent book and though he called some things right he missed on others big-time and there is a public record on all that. For one he believed strongly that the US economy was decoupled from others. That it was safe to invest overseas because the coming problems in the US would not infect the rest of the world. He particularly liked Asia. Last I checked China was down more than the US. Decoupling, while all the rage for a few months. has turned out to be completely wrong. A worldwide recession hit, not a US one. The economies of the world are highly coupled.

Schiff specifically said that oil was NOT in a bubble in May of 2008. Oil was $117 at the time. He predicted that oil could see "$150-$200" in 2009. Oil is now in the $40s.

He also thought the US dollar would collapse. He said that when it was at $160 vs Euro. He said it would drop 40-50% and that as early as 2009 we could see aggressive moves by Asian and Middle Eastern countries that could really put pressure on the dollar.

He also predicted that oil would hit $1200 to $1500 by the end of 2008.

Here is an article (Peter Schiff was wrong).
http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogsp...was-wrong.html

There are a number of points made, some similar to, some different than mine. Also according to that website the author knows a number of people who lost 40-70% with Schiff. Probably not very unreliable but considering Schiff's views and misses it seems highly likely that his clients were losing chunks of money if he was putting then in oil and going negative on the dollar.

Schiff loves to position himself as the guy who got everything right when everyone else was wrong. David facing Goliath. but when i read his book I thought he got more wrong than right - based on what has happened so far. Now, sure there's always the future .. but we ain't there yet. It reminds me of those companies that run dozens of funds, some long some short. Every year they can blast their successes. What they leave out is all the funds that did poorly. Schiff himself won't tell you what he missed wildly on. His record is out there though.

ADL Colin · 01-26-2009, 11:51 AM

Check out this video of Schiff in 2002.
http://seekingalpha.com/article/1068...hiff-right-now

"My prediction is that the Dow will go to 2000-4000. Maybe even lower than 2000 and that the NASDAQ will go to 500.

Anyone wanna jump on board with that one? I don't think it will happen.

Warren Buffet in a recent statement tells us the market is extremely undervalued right now at DOW 8000. Buffet tells us specifically that the way to value the market as a whole is to compare GDP to the market cap of all domestically traded company. He tells us that this method is "probably the best single measure of where valuations stand at any given moment". And by this method the market is severely undervalued.

We've heard similar statement from Marty Whitman, Ron Barron, Wally Weitz, etc etc

you are right and you are wrong.. the root of the problem is the housing market, dropping real estate values started the entire demise and it is still going strong.. the feds have been dancing around the issue and think that putting money in the hands of banks will make all good again, WRONG they must fix the real estate problem, either fed start buying homes or "force" banks to buy up real estate so that the values dont keep dropping.
real estate is like currency, if they start free falling government must intervene, and at this point just dropping interest rates is not enough since the banks will not release the funds.

The root of the problem is the Fed debt based/fractional reserve MT banking itself and the derivative market. Not the Housing market. There are ten of trillions if not 100s of trillions of derivatives floating around that all blew up because of the housing downturn. They used the housing market as an excuse to pass the problem off on the general public. The reason the housing market blew up is because the prices grew too much faster than peoples earnings. More or less prices were greatly increasing and wages were not. As far as schiff is concerned you have to take your information from many places but those who are telling the truth about certain things that people don't want to accept they are ridiculed.

"12 Ways Schiff Was Wrong in 2008":

Schiff's Investment Thesis

* US Dollar Will Go To Zero (Hyperinflation).
* Decoupling (The rest of the world would be immune to a US slowdown.
* Buy foreign equities and commodities and hold them with no exit strategy.

12 Ways Schiff Was Wrong in 2008

* Wrong about hyperinflation
* Wrong about the dollar
* Wrong about commodities except for gold
* Wrong about foreign currencies except for the Yen
* Wrong about foreign equities
* Wrong in timing
* Wrong in risk management
* Wrong in buy and hold thesis
* Wrong on decoupling
* Wrong on China
* Wrong on US treasuries
* Wrong on interest rates, both foreign and domestic

That's a lot of things to be wrong about, especially given all the "Peter Schiff Was Right" videos floating around everywhere. The one thing he was right about was the collapse of US equities and no part of his investment strategy sought to make a gain from that prediction.

At least he didn't lead everyone into the slaughterhouse. I'll agree with yo on the other countries being a safe haven. There really isn't a safe haven right now besides food and bills paid up for as long as you can afford. As far as those predictions most of them are still on the table. There's tension with China at this very moment. US Treasuries (not sure what his prediction was) were trading in the negative for a period of time which is strange considering the market was crashing. Gold should have also went up majorly during the market crashing but it went down as well only to now slowly creeping up. I could go on and on. The whole point is that everything that would have been a complete norm wasn't happening if you look at the market numbers. What was happening is people were making their moves to the save havens and they were immediately getting cut down by the "working group." Simply put the markets didn't crash the wealth just got transferred to someone else. Considering that the "working group" is also the same group who are being bailed out and the same one's who lead everyone to the slaughter house then you don't have to look very far.

"All kinds of dirt"? No, I just pointed out that Paul's prediction of an imminent recession in '83 was - like you said - "dead wrong". It was far off the mark.

http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclop...980s-recession

"
On Black Monday of October 1987 a stock collapse of unprecedented size lopped twenty-five percent off the Dow Jones Industrial Average. The collapse, larger than that of 1929, was handled well by the economy and the stock market began to quickly recover. However the lumbering savings and loans were beginning to collapse, putting the savings of millions of Americans in jeopardy.

The panic that followed lead to a sharp recession that hit hardest those countries most closely linked to the United States, including Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The economies of Europe and Japan were hurt, but not as badly. The US economy continued to grow as a whole, although certain sectors of the market such as energy and real estate slumped.

The first burst of the recession was short-lived, as fervent activity by the government leading up to elections in both the United States and Canada created what many economists at the time saw as an economic miracle a growing consumer confidence and increased consumer spending almost single handedly lifted the North American economy out of recession.

It soon turned out that the quick recovery was illusory, and by 1989 economic malaise had returned. For the next several years high unemployment, massive government deficits, and slow GDP growth affected the United States until 1992 and Canada until 1995. "

Its official, Ron Paul is a fraud, he couldnt give out an exact date and is wrong on a few details... All other great economists are always spot on! Lets praise them and give out a few names can we? lol

One of the thins that companies have lost in general is the ability to turn a TRUE profit. They can no longer run without the help of banks and thats just silly.

I dont have the link of hand but if you do a search you will find it. The video is about an hour long and he gave great detail of the problems that the fed and the market were creating. Most of his predictions in that speech came true. __________________

That no one knows anything about this stuff when it comes right down to it.. They all hold on and wish for luck.. So listen to a bunch of them and make your own decisions.. The sooner people learn that there are no "experts" the better everyone will be.

ADL Colin Too lazy to set a custom title Join Date: Feb 2001 Location: Tube Titans, USA Posts: 11,929	I read Schiff's most recent book and though he called some things right he missed on others big-time and there is a public record on all that. For one he believed strongly that the US economy was decoupled from others. That it was safe to invest overseas because the coming problems in the US would not infect the rest of the world. He particularly liked Asia. Last I checked China was down more than the US. Decoupling, while all the rage for a few months. has turned out to be completely wrong. A worldwide recession hit, not a US one. The economies of the world are highly coupled. Schiff specifically said that oil was NOT in a bubble in May of 2008. Oil was $117 at the time. He predicted that oil could see "$150-$200" in 2009. Oil is now in the $40s. He also thought the US dollar would collapse. He said that when it was at $160 vs Euro. He said it would drop 40-50% and that as early as 2009 we could see aggressive moves by Asian and Middle Eastern countries that could really put pressure on the dollar. He also predicted that oil would hit $1200 to $1500 by the end of 2008. Here is an article (Peter Schiff was wrong). http://globaleconomicanalysis.blogsp...was-wrong.html There are a number of points made, some similar to, some different than mine. Also according to that website the author knows a number of people who lost 40-70% with Schiff. Probably not very unreliable but considering Schiff's views and misses it seems highly likely that his clients were losing chunks of money if he was putting then in oil and going negative on the dollar. Schiff loves to position himself as the guy who got everything right when everyone else was wrong. David facing Goliath. but when i read his book I thought he got more wrong than right - based on what has happened so far. Now, sure there's always the future .. but we ain't there yet. It reminds me of those companies that run dozens of funds, some long some short. Every year they can blast their successes. What they leave out is all the funds that did poorly. Schiff himself won't tell you what he missed wildly on. His record is out there though. __________________ Adult Date Link - $50 PPS starting NOW! -- good and JUICY! skype = "adultdatelink"

ADL Colin Too lazy to set a custom title Join Date: Feb 2001 Location: Tube Titans, USA Posts: 11,929	Check out this video of Schiff in 2002. http://seekingalpha.com/article/1068...hiff-right-now "My prediction is that the Dow will go to 2000-4000. Maybe even lower than 2000 and that the NASDAQ will go to 500. Anyone wanna jump on board with that one? I don't think it will happen. Warren Buffet in a recent statement tells us the market is extremely undervalued right now at DOW 8000. Buffet tells us specifically that the way to value the market as a whole is to compare GDP to the market cap of all domestically traded company. He tells us that this method is "probably the best single measure of where valuations stand at any given moment". And by this method the market is severely undervalued. We've heard similar statement from Marty Whitman, Ron Barron, Wally Weitz, etc etc __________________ Adult Date Link - $50 PPS starting NOW! -- good and JUICY! skype = "adultdatelink"

The one thing he was right about was the collapse of US equities and no part of his investment strategy sought to make a gain from that prediction. __________________ When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I’ve never tried before.
