Peter Schiff: Rate Cuts Will Make Inflation Worse

In his latest podcast, Peter goes through the just-released August consumer price data and uses the report as a springboard to explain why the markets are misreading the Fed and why ordinary Americans are likely to pay the price.

Why Has the Upcoming Fed Meeting Not Bumped Gold More?

The odds are set at 94% that the federal reserve will cut rates following the September 17th meeting. Trump has pressured Powell for this for months, and if the Wednesday meeting confirms these rate cuts, it will be a historic step for the Fed.

One key feature of market economies is the “profit and loss test,” whereby successful companies are rewarded for creating value and wasteful companies go bankrupt.

Jobs Mirage: BLS Slashes 911,000 Positions from the Economy

The Bureau of Labor Statistics dropped a quiet bombshell on September 9, unveiling a preliminary benchmark revision that erased 911,000 jobs from March 2025 payroll tallies. The 0.6% markdown is roughly triple the average adjustment of the past decade and instantly casts doubt on months of breezy “resilient labor market” headlines. Almost the entire shortfall […]

After its Bitcoin-buying spree, El Salvador has made its largest gold purchase in over three decades, diversifying its holdings into real money. Across the world, Bitcoin evangelists are joining central banks and funneling capital into history’s one and only hard money asset. If they were smart, El Salvador would trade all their so-called “digital gold” […]

Why Gold is A Manipulator’s Nightmare

From 2003 to 2014, Deutsche Bank manipulated the daily price of gold. In the past, they set gold prices in conjunction with four other banks through phone calls, and they positioned themselves before releasing the prices to the public. Of course, this archaic means of price-setting was done away with, but this situation showed gold […]
