Don't count your chickens before they have hatched.

The anchor seems to be relevant on most things, although she talks a bit much. Still, at least she let Peter talks.

I recently heard a theory that the rise in the dollar has to do with the US gov buying up US bonds (by printing money) and this is creating a demand for the bond and in turn a stronger dollar.

How about these auto CEO's pay for their own failures.

Are you talking about Mike Shedlock by any chance? I like Mish a lot, but to say he predicted this is a bit misleading. Most people who saw this deflationary period happening, didn't really predict as much as acknowledge it when it was already happening when the credit market started to collapse. We're still a long way from this ending and the end game is most important. Lots of people who didn't invest w/ Schiff also lost money. He didn't see deflation but who knows what this all leads to.

To answer sam9657's question about where to invest past year? Cash. Nothing in any equity market. With deflation the purchasing power of cash has gone up. Now we may have inflation in the future but we will be having deflation for a while. "Printing money" doesn't explain the entire money supply system. Schiff is a good person, he wants what is best for the US but he didn't get the big picture and his clients lost 1/2 their wealth. Maybe it will regain its value but not counting on it.

I had some of you email me on my comments. My account is down by 1/2 since about March (when I started). Schiff is right about US economy,fiat currency,bailouts,ect I agree. But too brag about correct predictions when you were wrong on 1/2 of them is ridiculous. Other Austrian economists predicted massive deflation worldwide. Schiff from 2007 said on his website " I see no possible scenario where consumer goods prices fall in term of paper dollars" (google Schiff,2007, deflation).

Schiff just laughs at him, that was great
This jackass mayor knows if they don't get a bailout, he's gonna be out of work in his town. Peter crushed him as usual!

The mayor is a typical cheerleader. Peter destroyed this clown! The mayor just does what all politicians do, shift blame on phantom entities.
