  • China possesses all the money in the world... problem is, it's all counterfeit! :P

  • "It's possible that I'm getting it wrong again." I love Peter Schiff... even though he has NAILED so many things, he admits to missing some things, and even warns against his possible future mistake. So refreshing to hear someone - especially someone so brilliant and prescient - admit their fallibility. We definitely won't hear that in the MSM.

  • @mooseythejuiceman

    he is a moron who is perennially wrong.

  • @FinancialLeverage

    it's not nice to call everybody here a moron or dumb !

    Put your own Video in YT , let us rate your opinions !!

  • @arka67

    i'd love to but your IQ would have to be over 140 to view my videos so i guess you wouldn't be able to qualify.

  • @FinancialLeverage

    I bet $100, idiot like you have no idea how to put a camera ON......

  • @arka67

    and i bet $100, dumb pollack like you have no idea how to construct sentence hahahahaha.

    did you swim to canada?

  • @FinancialLeverage

    how is your camera ?? do you need instruction book to put it on....

    why, can't we see your face ?? you are so brave with your mouth... put your face on , so we can see you !!

  • @arka67 shut up you melon head. Disrespectful d-bag.

  • @Ascended111111

    I am speaking to FinancialLeverage, read first before criticizing !!!

  • @arka67 I know you were, but before i realized it, it was too late. Apologies.

  • it appears that the euro is correcting the bull rally it had for 8 years straight. We are in a c wave that will finish much lower. A great time to buy eur/usd at the end of the year for a long term target of 1.50 -1.80

  • watch and subscribe to my channel to see both sides of Peter's argument!

  • if you read this Mr. Schiff: i have learn a lot from you and start study by myself about economics ,this should motivate a lot of Americans do so to make the proper decisions not only for themselves but for the country too. we killing our own economy by printing more money, moving factory's to other country's , bailing out rich people and rising minimum wages too kill low skill jobs. many of the stuff that you said i just common sense!!. Blessings!

  • @joypr12

    schiff for senate: epic fail

    schiff on economics: even more epic fail

  • Schiff 2010!

  • Go king dollar....

  • great video

  • no matter how tall your hair is it is still receding. Shave it baby!

  • People still love that dollar tho. When things get edgy they run to the dollar and bonds amazingly. It is going to take a major mind shift to change this. Gold is doing better tho during the "scary" days.

  • Hey Peter, could you comment on China's housing bubble? Li Daokui, adviser to the People's Bank of China, claims their bubble is even worse than the US housing bubble ever was. So many people are being priced out of the market that it's preventing urbanization and creating social unrest.

    Everyone seems to think China's economy will crash, that it has an unsustainable credit bubble which will burst, thus preventing the global economy from recovering.

  • Yeah the government props up the housing market while the rest of us newcomers to owning houses get shafted because the prices are ridiculously high and overinflated. Sorry, but I haven't been working for 20 years to be able to afford a pathetically overinflated house which costs way more than its worth. I was looking forward to house prices falling more but of course the gov decided that big financial businesses are 'to big to fail' and deserve a second chance for their idiotic & risky gambling

  • guy still can't afford an HD camera to take his picture. Lameo... things stuff sound better when the eye is distracted. Grainy picture = grainy message. First impressions do matter Mr. Schiff.

  • @robertk2010 what silliness, then it would take longer to load, looks ok to me

  • Money is the problem...not Europe, China or the U.S. It's ALL about the MONEY! End Money and we won't have this Mess. Money is responsible for greed, corruption, crimes, poverty, famine, war, death. Who needs it? You can't eat it...it provides Zero Comfort. Money is Dog Shit!

  • @younitehumanity

    I could not agree more. I hate money and I only use it and work for it because everyone else is convinced that it's what they need to survive.

  • @younitehumanity Money is just a scorecard....competition survival of the fittest is what rules this world it's evolution that is how the world works adaptation to changing enviroments. Money is just a tool you cant change how nature works.....

  • @IWashMyOwnBrain As long as we have a monetary system...there will be inbalance on this planet. All nations could share their resources with other nations and only create jobs that will manufacture the things we need like Food, clothing, housing, transportation. Basic necessities that humans need should be free.

    If every corporation would give only 1% of their profit to the needy, then we would be in a much better world. There is enough for the worlds need...but not enough for the worlds greed.

  • @younitehumanity So just give people stuff so they don't have to make it or earn it themselves? Yea, that will solve the world's problems! Just enslave everyone who will work to support those who won't. Wow, your insight is stunning! What happens when nobody wants to work for free, what then? Force them to? Can't you see this is the same kind of moral hazard created around the world that destroys economies and the incentive to work? Removing responsibility won’t solve the world’s problems.

  • @ToSaveANationDotCom Work? For who...the Banks? Yes...every person on this planet should have the things they need for Free...if they need more, then they should work for it. I'm sick and tired of seeing children being exploited on one end of the planet so a stupid fat kid can play with some mindless stupid toy. Put yourself in the position of a 15 year old factory worker making $55/Month including overtime. Maybe your mindset will change.

  • @younitehumanity Life is not fair and never will be...

  • @IWashMyOwnBrain So by saying that life is not fair and never will be...we should all just sit on our asses and do nothing about it? It will never be fair if people do NOTHING about it. Not sure if you have children or not, but if you do, just make sure they don't end up in a sweat shop or working at night at an EXXON gas station. If they get a degree, maybe they can get a job at Wal-Mart.

  • @younitehumanity There is nothing you can do about it ..so calm down Beavis.

  • @younitehumanity that's sad though, Wal-Mart. you know there's a difference between edumacation and education. kids these days go to school to get edumacation, and they'll end up getting a low-paid job in the end. those that strive to be better than others will end up graduating in a good school with 'education', and they will be the ones that will be making big bucks and enjoy life comfortably as they can afford it. as much as this is simple thing to see. some people just can't do it. *shrugs*

  • @younitehumanity Corporations already give way more than 1% of their profit to the needy. It's called corporate taxes, and it's as high as 39%. It goes to the government, who then distribute it in part as social transfer payments like welfare, food stamps, medicaid, housing, foreign aid, etc. Corporate profits go to little old ladies who depend on the dividends in their retirement. Your entire concept of money is bizarre to say the least.

  • @jtravis282 No they don't...on what planet do you live? Where did you get this info? Corporations pay ZERO taxes. There are many Tax loop holes for Corporations...and they all take advantage of them. Welfare, medicaid, housing, foreign aid is provided by congress which takes the money from the tax payers or creates more debt by getting it from the federal reserve.

  • @younitehumanity

    "...between 2000 and 2005, on average, while corporations in the United States paid 13.4 percent."

    U.S. Department of the Treasury, “Treasury Conference on Business Taxation and Global Competitiveness: Background Paper,” July 23, 2007

  • @jtravis282 I guess because it is on a piece of paper...then it must be true.

  • @younitehumanity What sounds more reasonable? That on average corporations paid 13%in taxes or as you contend the government recieves no money from business?

    Money is nothing more than a medium of exchange. It just makes life more convenient. Without it, we would simply go to a barter system. You want that? You want bread, you go to the store and pay cash. Without money, you find a store and the owner says, I'm not going to give you that bread for free, go clean my toilets for half a loaf.

  • Peter, you have a message waiting for you on your phone.

  • This is exactly why we need you to win in CT!

  • Peter thank you for your books and videos. I am Australian and I wish you the greatest of luck in your run for the Senate in your country. I just want to ask you how will you change things when you are up against people that are prepared to resort to murder if they don't get their way? I mean you are dealing with people far worse than the mafia like the fed and aipac and the cofr to name a few. They will not go without taking many along with them. Anyway you are a brave man..

  • I would like to hear PS comenting how the free markets solve the problem of BP.

    Anyways, PS does not understand what these cuts in Europe are for, and what they are cutting.

    I agree both currency will collapse: Euro and Dollar.

    I wish him the best for his Senate race.

  • well at least peter's general theory and logic were right as he explained them down to extreme details.. he just missed a couple pieces of the puzzle back in 08.. but he was relatively accurate more than i can say for any of other self proclaimed economists out there. don't even mention the ivy league so called elite economists.. just leave them in the dust and forget about them. 8 year old kids with a chemistry set could have done better than those guys at the fed in the past decade.

  • It’s like a game of pass the parcel, who’s going to be holding the box when the music ends.... Here is a hint “You” and the box has a huge surprise in it “DEBT”. Guess who your all going to owe the rest of your lives too, another hint “The people who created the DEBT and sold it to your goverment”.

  • I want Peter Schiff to have a debate with Zeldovich, aka the Peter Schiff hater. It should be fun.

  • Paul/Schiff 2012 !!!

  • We are finaly reducing govt expenditure in Europe... It's about time... I'm waiting for my own country (France) to do so...

  • I'm putting my money in a printer ink factory. They bustards must have all the money.

  • Go to my channel to see why Peter schiff was wrong!!!!

  • @longtrader782 ..or....you could just watch the video that you posted on here and they can hear where Peter stated himself that he got a few things wrong. Of course from here you could also link to the videos where Peter called the Real estate downfall and BK's of AIG, Freddie, Fannie, rise in gold et 'all perfectly before it happened.

    Now don't you feel like a dumb fuck for opening your mouth and removing all doubt?

    Just anther dumb red-neck American. Move on people.

  • @longtrader782 OMG he was wrong?? He's not Nostradamus you genius. The people that follow him believe in his economic philosophy and only an idiot would think that every prediction is going to be correct. Get a life!!!

  • @Ellipsis10 I agreed with u

  • one more run up, then it all falls apart, get ready folks

  • I wish you were the president...

    Not that puppet!!!

  • like nixon said: "deficits don't matter", as long as the players want the dollar to be strong , it will continue on.

  • yo schiff wat do u think bout things like Illuminati???????

  • It's all going down...just following the Protocols line by line...read along as we go along the staged downward spiral to total chaos, from which a New World Order police state will emerge...alternative set text:

    

    "The Gobalization of Poverty and the New World Order" by Michel Chossudovsky (2003)

  • hey everyone!

    i just uploaded a video of an oil painting that took me 5 months to finish.

    i would like to get some feedback on it. so if everyone that reads this could check it out and let me know what you think it would help me out! the video is called -- monumental oil painting- from start to finish. thanks everyone!

  • sorry peter but rumours didnt cause the euro, or dollar, to go anywhere. markets are manipulated and centrally managed. if you didnt figure that out yet and actually buy the reason the government and/or the mainstream media gives us for these kind of market moves, you're obviously not as smart as many of us wish you would be

  • BP waited till the weekend to declair top kill a failure.....Ralley on Tuesday....lol

  • gold and silver is the biggest ponzi scheme since Bernie Madoff.

  • Have a look at your charts peter, what is happening right now lines up perfectly with what we saw before 2008!  Oil is falling faster than anything imaginable, big whipsaws in the s&p and dow, Euro plumeting..... the last hing to fall off the cliff will be stocks, and they really aren't too far behind reaching their high. I see the Dow going to 11,275 withing a few months and then tanking down for the next couple years below 5,000.

  • @qualm43

    agreed. however i would not be surprised to see dow 15,000 before that. it just depends on how long they can keep this market propped up?

  • stocks do ok when a currency dies, but yea bonds get raped.

  • arbitragge,you're an idiot

  • Anyone understand what he said at 9.07 regarding equities- it sounded like vividity?

  • "...a final head-fake before they take the dollar down for the count."

    Peter's got some funny allegories.

    *imagines Ben Bernanke hitting a punching while Rocky theme plays*

  • Peter every country is over exposed to debt, the US problem is the worst of a bad bunch. Everyone will suffer, the question is who is better equiped to survive the coming mess. cheers

  • Hey Everybody, it's Peter Schiff.

  • Your videos are very thought provoking--cheers Peter.

    Shiny suit by the way!

  • I like Peter´s honesty at the end about getting it wrong again. I think he is getting it wrong in the short term. His inflation theory is way ahead in the future, but in the short term we´re experiencing a deflationary depression as Mish Shedlock and Bob Prechter predicted. I think it´s foolish to be in equities right now.

  • Expected events alway take longer than you think.. When the they begin, they happen faster then you can belive... They've stolen and borrowed us into bankruptcy...Inflation is their only way out, in order to shift the blame...

  • Search For

    "CIA NEW FIASCO"

    hilarious

  • Thanks Peter, you are always informative. I suppose it will only be a question of time before the Chinese lose patience... In our case Its now in the hands of a new UK coalition government to stabilise an uncertain period in our time. We are very much in unchartered waters as indeed are the rest of europe... Highly political, highly sensitive and extremely precarious.... We now turn to a relatively young prime minister who I believe will need to be bigger than Churchill!

  • sell now !

    they will bring the market down .

    

  • I can not understand Chinas support for the US... I would not invest in US bond if they were pennies on the Dollar. The Hyperinflation is on its way...

  • @btigtime2 China produces and sells products and America is it's biggest customer.....The only thing China has to sell to the rest of the world is slave labor and if we no longer need it...........The Chinese government knows what it's currency is worth...so they buy dollars.

  • Not enough "money" to cover all the governs debt. That means something

  • Government applying stimulus to the economy is no different to an individual merely applying cream (and not changing their lifestyle) in an attempt to ease the pain originating from their INFLAMED PILES.

    The cream will make their piles shrink and disappear for a short period of time, although as nothing has fundamentally changed in the individuals way of life (diet et'c), it will not be long until 'POP' the piles are back again.

    By which time they will be all the more PAINFULL.

  • If you support Peter and his message, take some time to visit his page and donate whatever you can!

  • I'm seeing the government stimulus outside my office here in Stockholm, Sweden. They are destroying a perfectly good pavement and replacing it with a new one. There is absolutely no need for it whatsoever but a few phony unneccessary jobs were created so the politicians can pat themselves on the back and tell the voters about all the jobs they have created.

  • People hate it when economists always trumpet their hits but "forget" to acknowledge their misses too. It shows character and adds credibility when you do admit to not getting it right. Nice to see.

  • @theslimeylimey Good point.

  • @theslimeylimey

    then he should admit more often since he is perennially wrong.

  • @FinancialLeverage LMAO you open your account May28 and 6/7 of your subscriptions are Schiff related who you claim is always wrong. Riiiiiiight. You are so transparent it's not even funny and I wouldn't doubt you are paid (too much) to spend all day bashing Schiff online. Problem is, Schifff's record on the fundamentals speaks for itself as you are well aware. Try again.

  • @theslimeylimey

    haha, no wonder you are a limey. you sure are dumb. schiff's record is about the worst out of all investment managers in the market. very simple logic, if he was right on his calls, he would be a mega billionaire now like warren buffett or george soros instead of running a mom and pop brokerage with 50 brokers, scamming old grannies out of their retirement money. change your name to gullibledumblimey, it fits you better.

  • Yep. Bonds are gonna suck. Some day. But it will be telegraphed with a bull horn from a brightly colored tour bus. Treasury rates will rise with inflation, maintaining about a 6% negative real interst rate. Wages will increase at about half that pace. Boomers will retire (and hate their bonds). And we all get to pay a national sales tax. But if we play nice, lower income taxes. At some point though, we will just get paid with ETF units....

  • I am planning to start raising chickens in my back yard. I am also intend to start a vegetable garden.

  • Bought my Junk Silver, Now buying bullion and bars! 

  • watch the documentary 'Consume This Movie.' Very good.

  • I just cannot believe how they want to do another stimulus, they havent worked, just like the bailouts havent worked. If we had industry, if we produced materials, if we had an economy with some real quality....we might have something here. What in the U.S. demonstrates quality? our morals are down the drain, there is much quality that lacks individually & financially here.

  • You look very nice in those colors. They brighten your face.

  • I THINK PETER IS WRONG ABOUT THE STOCK MARKET. We will retest the march 2009 lows again. This whole fake rally was propped up by the plunge protection team and Goldman sachs high frequency black box algorithm trading There has been no volume to support this market and yet they keep propping it up!?!? When there is no support in the market, it can fall back down very quick.

  • Nice tie Peter.

  • i'm thinking Ice meteor is good. where the fuck that come from? blam!

  • Peter should stop trying to pick the next crisis. we all know the dollar is going to zero, the middle is anybodies guess.

  • how about keeping the video short

  • Comment removed

  • I will destroy Taipei, then the Chinese will understand. There will be no liberals.

  • Sorry, we have record sales in guns, and those people don't like the liberal. They know they're evil. And i will kill them. They'll know.

  • @nVei06 I will kill them with plague and famine. This is true. The wind will do as i command.

  • @nVei06 Not that i'm going to hit Taipie with pandemic. That i would use ice meteor or something natural. BIG

  • I would have majored in Economics if my professors were half this good.

  • One problem if the U. S. goes down so will the Worlds economy or most of it, our economy is a consumption economy, we consume and the others serve us, so if we stop consuming and buying goods to indulge ourselves the World economy will also collapse, THUS! Peter Schiff’s investments will be worthless since most of his clients portfolios are "abroad."

  • @lavishmedia Not so, the USA consumption will be replaced by people that create wealth such as chinese, thats already happening!!! the us as consumer of the world is a dead concept... peter is right!!!!!!!!!! the chinese are already the drivers of global growth -- especially in commodities ..soon to be consumer goods.........................­.......

  • @lavishmedia europeans are already slaves. They just want to bring america down, the world will be a satanic police state. No revolution. But they fail. They want this. They enjoy it. 1000 corrupt people in a row. They have the world, but they do not have us. America will no fall. The world will gather against us, but we will win. There will be no liberal in the united states. they will be killed.

  • @lavishmedia "our economy is a consumption economy, we consume and the others serve us". That is an unbelievably hilarious statement. So many people believe that if the U.S. stops consuming it weakens the global economy. That is obviously utter nonsense. Production is what creates prosperity, not consumption. Keynes was a total moron.

  • @ecnerwal999 keynes was worried about inflation also, but he died before he could elaborate on that so maybe we just misinterpret keynes

  • Don't France and Britain have a higher ratio of debt to GDP than the US? Last time I looked at the numbers France and Britain looked like they were deeper in the hole than the US. Correct me if I'm wrong.

  • @StormCloudsGathering France and Britain are not well off but the U.S. is worse. The U.S. GDP is highly inflated by consumer spending. More than 2/3 of the U.S. economy is in the service sector. Most services can't be exported. The U.S. has a very large trade deficit. So the point is, you can't just look at debt in terms of GDP. It is better to compare it to exports, which is what allows you to pay back your creditors.

  • @StormCloudsGathering Also the U.S. has a lot of other unfunded liabilities(social security, medicare/medicaid, potential of default in states) and off budget items(fannie and freddie). Also the U.S. is the worlds reserve currency and so there a lot of dollar held by citizens and central banks that can be dumped anytime.

  • That would be funny if the NWO currency is called the globalo...LOL!

  • @nVei06 As are We all in the end. TIME leaves no man alive.

  • How would you like to go?

  • Those people have no idea what the BIble speaks of. What the Gospel is, they have no idea. But they don't care. They have their Idol. They hate the truth. I can tell them, but there is one thing, They do not want to hear. I can tell them everything they say is wrong and explain to them, and show them in scripture. It doesn't matter. They are evil.

  • @nVei06 I do wonder what scripture says. But it is not easy to understand for Me.

  • @ferret2dude the scripture says this. The righteous will see and be righteous, the wicked will see and be wicked. The righteous give praise to Jesus and to God, and wicked give praise to themselves, via sorcery. They are liars who understand nothing. They is no understaning for them. They are like pile of garbage.

  • @nVei06 I will meet you on the battle field my enemy... May the God who made all things have us kill each other for our sins.

  • @ferret2dude Nah, i'll just smite you with the Hand of God.

  • @ferret2dude i'm asking you. let us know. how bout a roller coaster? you don;t ride roller coasters? that doesn't matter. surely you will die on a roller coaster. this is good enough for you?

  • @nVei06 Not at all... By the hand of a warrior. An Honorable Death.

  • @ferret2dude Perhaps You? I think not.

  • @ferret2dude by My honor, i will slay you. See.

  • Obama is doing everything he can to keep this phony recovery going until at least November. If they can't possibly keep it going, then they know they're screwed come November, so I think then we go to war with Iran and they pull the plug.

  • Peter you should move to Europe they love all your anti- American talk......

  • @IWashMyOwnBrain What anti-American talk do you speak of?

    I have been a subscriber to this channel for a long time, and never hear him say anything anti-American...

  • @MOPEDBRAD Well he is always bashing the governments handeling of the economy.....in this video he claims Europe is in better shape than the U S and that we are helping Greece to divert attantion from our problems and he called our economy phoney......what more do you need?

  • @IWashMyOwnBrain The government is, and has been, doing a horrible job with the economy for decades.

    Europe is slightly more fiscally sound than the U.S. currently.

    His dissent is very patriotic. He is fuming mad at the blundering fools in Washington like the vast majority of the citizenry.

    I understand where you're coming from, but sometimes dissent is the most noble patriotism.

    He's not rooting for the dollar to collapse, but he sees no one in our government doing anything to save it.

  • @MOPEDBRAD Yes anti-American is the wrong term.....i just see the world economy a diffrent way.

  • @IWashMyOwnBrain WOW! Normally people just call me a poopy-face... It's good to see there's a few grown-ups on youtube.

  • @MOPEDBRAD Constructive criticism is "anti-american" if you haven't noticed.

  • Well Peter I agree with you...

    The Dollar is the tallest midget right now, but who knows when things will change

    it's could be 10+yrs before people flee out of the dollar

  • @john5246 lol i like the way you said it "tallest midget"

  • The problems with the Eurozone are political not economic.....that is why America is more stable.....

  • Great vid Peter. Love your work. I think you are spot on with your prediction.

  • buy gold and silver

  • @gone556

    I have heard about rumours that the price of gold and silver will be forced down (even more than the current suppression scheme) to about USD 800 or so and thus make people panic in this process and sell their physical gold and silver.

    Once the prices start to recover upwards and people wish to purchase it back again, it would be mostly gone, as it would have been absorbed...

  • @elboertjie

    The Fed's forcing ideas are losing potency. Remember the IMF sales and how that was supposed to force prices down ? India bought half of it and gold shot to $1227. They cant force fuck all these days.,

  • @gone556 gold is higher than its been, thats a bad time to buy.

  • @twistedbydsign99 not if it keeps moving up then it would be a good time to buy

  • I think there will be another 2008 crash. Peter Schiff constantly overestimate the intelligent of other investors/economist/china knowing what to do

  • @4rcane just look at the business/finance media. Almost everyone think the road to prosperity is printing money and that fed/government is doing a great job. Most of the main stream economist thinks spending money is how you fix the economy, that the only problem right now is sentiment. As long as everyone is confident to go out and spend borrowed money, then the economy will somehow grow

  • @4rcane the only way the economy can grow is if theres savings and the saving is used to produce stuff not to consume stuff, so no matter how confident ppl are and willing to spend money to consume, nothing they do will ever grow the economy

  • @4rcane and investment to produce stuff will never happen with all the taxes and regulations thats coming from loca/fed government and fear that whatever profit they make will only be taken away - so whats the point

  • Peter has to stop telling the truth or elsethe gov will not be able to pay off the media any more.

  • Durables, a lagging indicator, were up because of income tax returns, not new revenue...with a revised lower consumer consumption, continued high unemployment, and state and local government taxation fostering fears to take a chance on new business, its easy to see why the markets become volatile when China whispers...so have the markets accepted US currency as a junk instrument?...the US has, in excess, 3 times the dollars our economy requires...If the dollar were a stock I'd put at 33 cents...

  • @imataxslave In my cathartic episode, I forgot to wish you and yours a Happy Memorial Day Peter...Good luck with your petitions!

  • I think Schiff is correct on his view of the Dollar. Again, see Jim Rickards on the IMF and the shift to SDRs as reserve currency at my channel and an excellent update on this story at King World News radio.

    Personally, I'm staking a decent % of my capital on put options for later this year as a way to ride the decline with some healthy leverage. But don't be surprised by a stable (ish) Summer before we get going down around football season.

  • @MarcusCMarcellus What % is that? Call options kind of blow when you get your timing wrong but the possible payback seems so tempting.

  • @Shadyhunter04 I agree on both counts. 10-15%, but with a staggering strategy...famous last words. It all depends on sentiment of course. It was more tempting before May. We'll see.

  • What's with the Bat-Phone flashing in the background?

  • @johnstonsimon

    That's easy, the commish is trying to get some market insight

  • The single reason we have not proceeded with 2008 part 2; MANIPULATION.

  • 1 Trillion stimulus coming our way.

  • @arbitrage You think saying the Chinese are nervous about the dollar is baseless? Where have you been? They've been expressing concerns for over a year, you ass-clown. Just search the Internet for: chinese concerned dollar

  • awesome report. complete with the old head fake.

  • $79 billion dollar stimulus Peter. House passed it today.

  • @arbitrage when your mother dies of cancer, we will see how tough you are

  • Yes! Right, governments of the world will print to the end. It's what they know. They are what they do, and one thing central banks do is print money. The dollar will collapse - no doubt. BUY GOLD AND SILVER. Do yourself that favor....

  • @clearasvodka crap, save your money - nothing is going to happen, they will fudge it if and when they need to.

  • Peter, I am a huge fan of Austrian economics and have been reading about Hayek's concept of competing currencies within a country and how the government should not have a monopoly over the money supply. If we allowed other banks to or institutions to make their money backed by gold, silver, oil, beer or whatever they want, do you think that would be a step in the right direction of saving the ec
