Homage to Peter Schiff: Calling the Crisis Right from the Start
Paul Kedrosky's Infectious Greed — Say what you will about Peter Schiff –- self-promoter, etc. – but he nailed the current crisis first, best, and most lucidly. And, to his credit, he got out in public saying it over and over again, despite harsh skepticism sent his way. As PE Wire said this morning, this may just be the video of the year. ...

Peter Schiff’s predictions
Rolfe Winkler — I don’t know what’s more interesting in this video: Peter Schiff’s prescience or his interlocutors’ stupidity.  I lost a lot of respect for Ben Stein when he signed up with the creationists.  Here he advocates buying Merrill when it was in the $70s, calling it a “stupendously well run company.”  Stein clearly hadn’t the foggiest idea what he was talking about.  An article in last Sunday’s NYT describes exactly how incompetent Merrill’s management team was.  Had it not been for Goldman alum John Thain’s 11th-hour deal with B of A, Merrill would have collapsed within a couple days of Lehman. ...

Being WRONG is the Problem!
Howard Lindzon — Too much energy is spent and too many accolades are given to those that are ‘right’. Lot’s of people were right calling for a nasty recession. Most of them are still broke or down 40 percent. You can’t say you were ‘right’ if you called for a tsunami and than it smacked you and your family in the face as you watced it coming from the back porch. It is one of the biggest problems in our society that NOBODY talks about, but we need to ship OUT all the idiots that are just ‘wrong’. Send them to Iceland to rebuild. Let’s focus on losing the real dummies to get back on track. In the economics world, two ...

Peter Schiff’s Payback
QandO — The insufferable Peter Schiff has a video going around, which frankly, is just brilliant. He may be unpleasant at times, but he nailed this thing, and took mounds of abuse while doing so. More importantly, I KNOW HOW HE FEELS! The resentment, irritation, condescension and, at times, outright hostility to my Cassandra act makes me wish I had a video of my own. Sigh... Oh well, it pays to remember that Cassandra was right. I was never as sure of myself as Peter, but risk management isn’t about knowing you are right, but knowing what could go wrong and whether it wis likely enough to act upon. As an aside, Peter is no big government type, and he goes to ...

Peter Schiff: A prophet from the past?
FinanceProfessor.com — A former student of mine (Charlie) sent this to me. Wow. Talk about getting things right! Peter Schiff was absolutely dead on. Peter, I do not know you, but my hat is off to you. It is also a great reason why I NEVER watch financial talk shows. I wonder if Laffer ever paid his penny.

Peter Schiff on Yahoo Tech Ticker
Fund My Mutual Fund — 2 part series - Art Laffer, how sad to say your economic views only have a life of 9 months. Good to see Schiff get his dues even if the past 4-5 months has been rough on his patch of hideouts - outside of US Treasuries no one can find a place to make money on the long side in "buy and hold". I am more interested in the economic thesis since the stock market has rewarded no one... ...

It's not that Schiff was so correct, it's that the shows were so manipulative
Angry Bear — by: Divorced one like Bush Crooks and Liar's posted this video, but their presentation seems more from a position of how correct Peter Shiff was. I think what is more important, and a better lesson to learn is how much crap was being presented by Fox as real, reliable, truthful information that "you can use". Listen to the other "panelists". If we do not learn to understand "crap" reporting, if we do not learn to understand story telling for selfish purpose, if we do not learn to understand that propagandizing is not solely a political tool, but more importantly an economic tool, we will not solve our's and the worlds current economic ...

Do You Trade Your Market Predictions?
Beanieville Inc. — This was Peter Schiff in 2006-2007: This is Mish's attack of Mr. Schiff, claiming that Schiff never benefited from his predictions (didn't short the housing and banks) and instead lost alot of money for his clients (by investing in foreign assets which went down hard as other countries also went into a deep recession). The point of this post is that it's not whatyou say about the market that's important, it's how you trade it whether you're right or wrong! The good thing about the Beanieville System is that it works regardless of market direction - up, down, sideways, ...

Peter Schiff makes a defence
FT Alphaville — A bit of a blogging war has erupted in cyberspace on the subject of Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital - relating largely to whether he was right or not. For a bit of context, Peter Schiff established himself as the definitive dollar bear over the latter half of the naughties, predicting (with some accuracy) that the US, and world, was due for a major financial correction on the back of a significant global rebalancing. He even penned the book explaining how to invest through the gloom, dubbed “Crash proof”. To make his case, he frequently aired his “extreme” views on financial networks, where he was - needless to say - mostly ridiculed by fellow guests and presenters ...

Peter Schiff: Why I'm Right and My Critics Are All Wrong
Yahoo! Finance: Tech Ticker — After gaining notoriety and YouTube fame for his prescient calls on the housing bubble and U.S. stocks, Peter Schiff of Euro Pacific Capital has recently come under fire. First blogger Michael Shedlock and then The Wall Street Journal noted how Schiff's investment thesis - centered on shorting the dollar and buying foreign currencies, commodities and related stocks - had run aground in 2008. A "number of" Euro Pacific Capital clients lost 50% or more in 2008, when the S 500 fell 38%, The Journal reported . Schiff does not deny some clients of his broker/dealer firm (he's not a fund manager or registered investment adviser) suffered big losses last ...

He warned us then, he warns us now
Liberalism-Capitalism-Globalisation: JohanNorberg.Net — Queen Elizabeth famously asked why no one predicted the financial crisis if the problems were so big. Of course a lot of people predicted it, even though no one could explain exactly what would happen. The part of the population that reads The Economist have read about the coming crisis for so many years that we almost got bored with it. Another favourite of mine who saw things clearly years ago was James Grant. A third person who warned us was Peter Schiff, an economist in the Austrian tradition, who was an adviser to the libertarian/conservative presidential candidate Ron Paul. During the last two days three people ...

Peter Schiff was wrong about everything for a long time
BloggingStocks — Filed under: ForecastsPeter Schiff has gained a tremendous amount of good publicity for his prescient predictions of a crash in housing and the stock market. This YouTube video featuring clips of Schiff bashing the real estate and stock markets on various news shows in 2006 and 2007 has garnered 1.3 million views. The video below has only received a little over 11,000 views, but it provides important context for the other videos. He predicted that the NASDAQ would fall to 500 and predicted and predicted that the Dow Jones Industrial Average would fall to "between 2,000 and 4,000, but it might go below 2,000." ...

The New Investment Manifesto
College Analysts — Mike Price sends: My opinions on investment and the world have changed so dramatically over the past twelve months that I have decided to divide my investment ‘philosophy,’ into two separate sections I think it’s fitting to start this new manifesto at the apex of the former section. My investment career up ‘til this point had been full of disappointments and hypocrisy, I read and wrote about the virtue of doing your own work and investing, not speculating; but all this time I borrowed ideas from others and rarely did the amount of work necessary to justify taking a position. This had all started to change after ...

Mises.Org: The "Ben Bernake is Wrong" Video
Fund My Mutual Fund — This video would be a good laugh if not for the fact that it centers around one of the most powerful men in the world's propensity to be wrong in case after case. I sincerely laughed at the "we've never had a nationwide drop in housing prices" line since it was one of my big beefs against the financial punditry (of which I didn't realize until I saw these clips, Ben was such a part of) - even before I started the blog. Just because someone has not happened does not mean it could not happen. And speaking of "it never happened before" was anyone measuring home pries in the 1930s? Meanwhile certain bloggers were calling for dramatic price drops ... [Dec 6, 2007: Analysis - ...

Santelli Rant: Reminiscent Of Peter Schiff
Daily Markets — Santelli Rant: Reminiscent Of Peter Schiff By Guy Lerner on September 15, 2009 | More Posts By Guy Lerner | Author's Website Yesterday, Rick Santelli was on another rant as CNBC was doing its one year anniversary of the collapse of Lehman Brothers and how the bold actions of central bankers saved the world from economic collapse. It isn’t so much what Santelli says that is important -because we have heard it all before - but how dismissive the CNBC anchors were of his comments. Joe, Carl, and Steve have a good time and laugh it up, and in the end, they send the only guy with something to say back to the corner of the classroom to lick his wounds. In some ...
