Peter Schiff is one of the few widely known economists and investment professionals to have spoken about the financial crisis before it began. Do not miss this presentation where Peter will discuss how the Bitcoin fad is ending badly and listen to him share how investors will get back to basics.

While the Biden Administration and their allies in the media are struggling to redefine terms so that recessions are technically impossible, in the real world, things are looking decidedly grim. Not for generations has the Fed had to deal with soaring inflation and contracting GDP. But unlike past episodes, the Fed is facing much deeper challenges with much weaker leadership.

Investors are gleefully unaware of the danger. Expectations are that the inflation dragon will be slayed and roasting on a spit by next summer. At that point, investors fully expect that the Fed will get back into the business of stimulating the economy and monetizing the debt in a backdrop of very mild price increases.

But what if those expectations are wildly off the mark? How will the markets and the government handle the worst bout of stagflation we have ever experienced? It's not going to be pretty, and the time left to prepare financially is getting smaller.




Not since the 1970's have US investors had to deal simultaneously with high inflation, a slowing economy, and a tightening monetary bias. Not surprisingly, after a highly speculative 2021, fueled by massive fiscal and monetary stimulants, the markets started 2022 with a sharp lurch downward, with action characterized by a shift away from the high-flying risk assets into value-oriented dividend stocks.

But most investors are unaware how deep the stagflation quicksand has become and how powerless the Fed will be in fighting back. A whiplash will occur when the Fed will be forced to admit it has lost the battle with inflation and switches to monetary easing to try to stave off recession.


Recently, the cascading reports of surging inflation has confirmed many of our inflation forecasts. When bad inflation data emerges, gold doesn't rally. What gives? Most investors don't seem to have much interest in hard asset protection against the dollar weakness that increasing inflation should create. Investors believe that the Fed is hawkish on inflation and will soon deliver aggressive rate hikes that will hurt gold. Shockingly they don't seem to realize just how tightly the Fed's monetary straight jacket is tied. Since any move to meaningfully tighten monetary policy will crash the markets, all the Fed will do is talk. For now, the market listens. But their story is growing thinner by the moment. Peter Schiff will explain what the end game may look like.
