Peter Schiff : The Gold Standard forced the government to responsibly confront irresponsible fiscal policy

Peter Schiff : "The gold standard forced the government to responsibly confront irresponsible fiscal policy. At first Nixon tried devaluation, but the amounts were far too small to stop the gold drain. As an escape hatch, he instead abandoned the gold standard (although he said that the move was temporary). Without this “relic”, government could continue to finance its spending with ever larger deficits without losing any more gold. So instead of devaluation or deflation, we chose inflation instead. Many consider the impossibility of running perpetual deficits under the gold standard as proof of its unsuitability to the modern economy. As I see it, this is precisely why the gold standard is so desirable and so badly needed today."

Peter Schiff : Buy Gold Now or you will be chasing it later

Peter Schiff : I own a lot of gold i own a lot of gold stocks , over the last 6 months to a year they have not gone up in fact the gold stocks have gone down , over a longer time period of course over the last ten years gold has done very very well , so a lot of these problems have been anticipated in the gold market for years , why it has not had a bigger move recently ? I think that has more to do with the relative strength of the dollar versus other fiat currencies which I think is temporary , I also think people are fooled in thinking that us treasuries represent a safe heaven alternative to gold , people who are piling up treasuries are going to regret it that bubble is going to burst , I am confident that eventually people will find their way back to gold as a safe heaven

Peter Schiff : Gold is the Last Haven Standing

Peter Schiff : “Fortunately, gold doesn't have a central bank, so it can rise as fast as the dollar falls …That is why gold is doing so phenomenally well, and why it should continue to do so.” - in www.advisorone.com

Peter Schiff : Silver has the best of both worlds

Peter Schiff : silver is up nine consecutive years I have been riding this bull since 1999 - 2000 , silver is kind the best of both worlds because it is an industrial metal and it is also a precious metal , so if you think the economy is growing you can buy silver and if you are afraid of inflation you can buy silver , it kind of has that element going for it , silver prices are rising for the same reason that oil prices are rising agricultural commodities , paper money is just losing value , it is losing value because central banks are printing too much of it , that's not going to stop

Peter Schiff Silver is Unstoppable

Is there anything that can stop silver's ballistic rise? The precious metal flirted near the $50 mark yesterday. Peter Schiff, of Euro Pacific Capital gives his insight .




Peter Schiff : if you look at the amount of silver in the earth versus gold and I think the ratio there is about 17 to one , I think silver is going to continue to gain on gold as this bull market continues to unfold , I think we have many many years left to go , I ultimately think that you will see a gold / silver ratio below 20 ,right now is more like about 35 , but when this bull market started I think the ratio was about 60 , now I have been buying silver for about ten years when I started buying it it was 5 dollars an ounce at the time gold was about 250 , 260 dollars an ounce both the precious metals have gone up , but silver has gone up more and if i am right and this bull market continues I expect silver to keep outperforming at my metals company I have been recommending people would have two third gold one third silver for long time obviously people that did that right now they might have fifty fifty because silver has gained on gold even though both metals have risen , and the reason that's happening is because Ben Bernanke is debasing the value of the dollar , r i fact central banks all around the world are too loose they are creating too much money and so people all around the world are buying gold and silver as a store of value and I think that that will continue ....
