Um you forgot one thing. Peter has been right on the money with his economic forecasts!... Geeze people do some research or put a sock in it...
Peter, and many thousands of others with common sense, I suppose.
The dude is just trying to sell a book.
Place your sock where it fits.

He is not the only one who can predict the economy.
The media simplifies things to not create a panic and to instill some confidence in the system, Regardless, this guy is promoting a book. So he is doing a good thing really , creating employment, keeping the econonmy turning. If he really believed it was the end then he would give it all away for free, as money won't mean anything, no matter how much you might have.
So as I said before, it is people that make an economy.
Don't fall for the fearmongering it will just make your life uncomfortable
Peter Schiff, Ron Paul, Gerald Celente and Jim Rodgers predicted the 2008 crash to a T. Please name a few others of these thousands you claim and provide the evidence...

Peter Schiff is a pessimist. He should be borrowing every penny he could and be buying Gold. Cash it in every 6 months as Gold has been going up up and up and borrowing more to buy MORE gold....and in 6 months selling it so he could borrow again to buy MORE Gold......
What Peter Schiff screams about as a travesty........if you have money right now you can make lots of money.
Only the poor/ uneducated will be effected. I doubt Peter Schiff will be effected.
so called economic experts who ridiculed him a few years ago had to concede and bow to his dead on scary accuracy

If by “scary” you mean “not at all”, then I agree with you.
Jump to 4:30 to hear Peter predict in 2002 that the Dow will drop to between 2000 and 4000
Yeah, I'd say scary dead on.
Also when he said the market would drop between 2000 and 4000, he did not say when. Also it did drop from over 14000 to 6500, so in a way he was pretty spot on, considering when he made his drop prediction in 2002, the dow was just over 10000.

Timelines are fairly important when it comes to dreams and predictions.
There will be a 7.0+ earthquake in California sometime in the future. Californians should move to avoid this event. I can't tell you when, though. And I am not wrong until it doesn't happen.edit on 17-9-2012 by Zarniwoop because: (no reason given)
Like I said quit embarrassing yourself and acting like an idiot and mucking up this thread...
Yeah gee lets find one thing he was semi incorrect on out of dozens he was correct on (even though he was technically correct in there being a drastic drop) though 100% correct on everything else he said
12 Ways Schiff Was Wrong in 2008
Wrong about hyperinflation
Wrong about the dollar
Wrong about commodities except for gold
Wrong about foreign currencies except for the Yen
Wrong about foreign equities
Wrong in timing
Wrong in risk management
Wrong in buy and hold thesis
Wrong on decoupling
Wrong on China
Wrong on US treasuries
Wrong on interest rates, both foreign and domestic
That's a lot of things to be wrong about, especially given all the "Peter Schiff Was Right" videos floating around everywhere. The one thing he was right about was the collapse of US equities and no part of his investment strategy sought to make a gain from that prediction.
My popularity on television and the internet has led a very small money manager to use his popular financial blog to promote his fledgling business by attacking the recent poor performance of my long-term investment strategy. The post is causing quite a stir and compels me to provide some badly needed context.
To achieve his ends, this individual has distorted much of what I have been saying and writing, and has twisted the facts to support his own preconceived conclusion. In essence, his piece is nothing more than an overt advertisement (and a highly deceptive one at that) to use my popularity to advance his career. In so doing he has given my critics, particularly some who have been embarrassed by their roles in the "Peter Schiff was Right" video, their moments of retribution. In addition, some members of the press who have never been among my greatest fans are seizing the opportunity to discredit me as well.
Watch to the video and tell me if you think he is wrong and why?
but thanks for bumping the thread again.
Your challenge, if you wish to accept it, is to find sources for the dozens of things you claim he was 100% right about.
