The Gold Dip: Macro vs Shorts and Retail

The bull market in gold is being driven by many forces, and it isn’t just speculative fervor that caused the latest drop. Macro factors like monetary expansion, interest rates that are still far too low, broad global uncertainty, and de-dollarization are going to push gold higher. In the meantime, corrections will occur, but this isn’t […]

Schiff vs. Ammous: Tokenized Gold Trumps Bitcoin

Peter recently debated longtime Bitcoin proponent Saifedean Ammous to turn the usual Bitcoin-vs.-gold argument on its head. Rather than rehashing the old debate, he focuses on tokenized gold—specifically Tether Gold— and explains why a claim on real metal is a far better monetary proposition than a claim on nothing. He argues tokenized gold brings convenience […]

Schiff w/ Sanchez: Blockchain is a Digital Ponzi Scheme

Earlier this week, Peter appeared on the Sanchez Effect for an interview with Rick Sanchez. Together they sift through the international fallout from America’s fiscal and monetary choices and explains why other countries are actively trying to reduce their exposure to the dollar. Peter connects that trend to production, trade balances, the enormous off-balance-sheet liabilities […]

Peter Schiff: Powell Sends Gold Soaring

Peter took to the mic on Wednesday to walk listeners through a dramatic day in the markets and to explain what it all means for ordinary savers.

13 Week Money Supply Growth Reaches 6.5%

Money Supply is a very important indicator. It helps show how tight or loose current monetary conditions are regardless of what the Fed is doing with interest rates. Even if the Fed is tight, if Money Supply is increasing, it has an inflationary effect. One key metric shown below is the “Wenzel” 13-week annualized money […]

Covid Was Normal

The COVID-19 pandemic allowed for a concerted campaign to convince people that the situation was anything but normal. For both businesses and government entities, the only thing everyone could seem to agree on was that we were in “unprecedented times.” This belief parroted over and over again was used to promote and support a seizure […]

Schiff w/ Horowitz: Gold Will Climb as the Dollar Fades

Last week, Peter joined Daniel Horowitz on the CR Podcast to lay out a clear, sweeping case for why gold is not merely a safe haven but the logical outcome of decades of monetary mismanagement. He walks through his long-standing gold forecast, why the dollar’s reserve role is unraveling, how bonds are signaling inflation, why […]

Schiff on Wealth Building Blueprint: Higher Rates are the Cure

In a recent appearance on the Wealth Building Blueprint, Peter goes wide on the gold and silver setup and the macro limits of policy in this episode, arguing that everything from central banks to retail investors will be forced to take notice of the metals’ recent price action. He traces the last cycle, explains why […]

The Fed’s “Self-Financing” Is a Dangerous Illusion

With Trump’s latest attack on Fed Chairman Jerome Powell in the news, mainstream pundits have jumped to defend Powell from what is obviously an attempt to make the Fed less hawkish on inflation. In these defenses, however, an absurd myth is often advanced– that the Fed is somehow “self-financing.” The following article was originally published […]

Gold Nears $5,000

Everyone was wrong once again. From the big banks to even free market pundits, no one predicted the massive price increase of gold in so short a timeframe. Even after being disproven by gold’s rapid rise to 4000 just a few months ago, the mainstream narrative still stood that gold was slowing. Just as they […]
