Schiff on Capital Cosm: Buy Gold, Dump Crypto

In his latest Capital Cosm interview, Peter lays out a clear case for gold as the reliable hedge against policy-driven inflation and economic turmoil.

Warren Buffett solidly trounced the S&P 500 for the first 35 years of his career, and then something terrible happened to him. While in the past, he was able to receive stock tips ahead of time, in 2000 the US government began to require uniform disclosure patterns for earnings information. Buffet had been merely arbitraging […]

Peter Schiff: Silver Is the Big Story

On Thursday’s episode of the Peter Schiff Show, Peter lays out why precious metals are taking center stage while fiat currency policy unravels.

Why Equities Just Might not be the Same Anymore

While for decades, the historically high returns of the stock market have been used to justify putting more money into the stock market, some underlying factors have changed that make this constant growth story no longer as sure of a narrative.

Silver’s impressive gains have left it, yet again, outpacing gold by around 50% year-to-date. This is a common pattern for the metal, which has historically tended to outperform gold during certain stages of bull markets.  Just as silver has done before, it’s capitalizing on the same macroeconomic conditions that have been a boon for gold, […]

World Gold Council: ETF Tsunami Lifts U.S. Gold Demand 58% 

Gold’s third-quarter scorecard shows a tale of two markets. Overall U.S. demand leapt 58% year-over-year to 186 metric tons, the largest Q3 tonnage in more than a decade. Yet traditional consumer demand—jewellery plus bar & coin—actually shrank by a third to just 32 t. The gap was filled almost entirely by institutional money flooding into […]

Is It Too Late To Hop On The Gold Train?

Everyone from central banks to people saving for retirement are wondering whether now is too late to buy gold or whether the recent price increases will keep going. Gold has beat the market in the last two years, and kept even with it over the last 20 years. The rise in price of the last […]

Why Gold is Still King

While gold has been used to hoard wealth since the beginning of history, many mainstream experts still deride it in favor of nearly any newly invented investment opportunity. Financial advisors only suggest that gold should make up under 10% of an individual’s portfolio. Independent individual investors, dark money, and governments have recently contributed to gold’s […]
