He has predicted 100% of the collapses that haven’t happened.

Unless someone has found a Rhode Island sized gold deposit…there isn’t enough gold in the world to cover the dollar denominated debt.

Schiff is the boy who cried wolf, all grown up.

I just took a look at the sky... It isn’t falling.

Permabears are usually, eventually, at least partly correct. Kinda like broken clocks.

You should listen to him. He predicted 20 of the last two recessions. Also, you can send me all your dollars since they are worthless.

Maybe he attended the Will Rogers School of Financial Philosophy...

They’ll probably be stuck with very expensive Gold that they’ll lose their shirt on

😂😂😂😂

He’s been telling everyone to buy gold since it was at $300 in the early 2000’s

The issue is one of timing.

ALL printed, fiat currencies also have massive debt. Perhaps some will “collapse” - but with currencies, politics and national power, these are all relative relationships

THe USD will “collapse” relative to what? The Saudi Riyal? The Kenyan Shilling? The Euro? Go ahead an put your money in Chinese Yuan and good luck to you.

The world is certainly undergoing a monetary and political “Earthquake.”

But in an earthquake, the stronger buildings survive with limited damage, but weaker buildings collapse entirely.

And the USA has quite strong foundations.

Schiff and Gerald Celente always predict this. Except this year they could be right. The Biden regime was a wrecking ball for four years in ways that are not easy to fix.

Personally I think Trump has plans for a new gold backed dollar.

All fiat currencies that have been used in written history have failed. The same will happen to the US dollar.

” Except this year they could be right”

There you go. It was a good run as they say.

Trump wont have a choice he’ll be forced to act on this

Can we trust SOMEONE will do the right thing? He’s talking about gaming the Fed and lowering rates when Powell goes

I think events are going to unfold soon. The banksters have to show their hands and admit the vaults are empty ?

I started buying gold and silver during the dot com bubble period. I was able to buy some with every paycheck. On a CAGR, I don’t think it’s been about 13% during that period. Nothing to sneeze at, but barely better than the S&P 500.

Eventually it was bound to ‘hit.’

“Personally I think Trump has plans for a new gold backed dollar.”

yep, and i heard that each gold backed dollar would be able to be exchanged at any FDIC bank at the rate of 1/1000 grain of gold per dollar ...

“”I know worrying works, because none of the stuff I worried about ever happened.”” — Will Rogers

Never heard that one but I love it. I’ve tried to tell my neighbor to stop worrying about the ice storms..but she had a tree come down on her house in 2017 when a hurricane went through here and she has PTSD. I am not making light of it; she lost her dad she lived with just months before that so she’s sure bad things will happen...her dad was an Auschwitz survivor and a lot of her life attitudes stem from her dad’s history...
