Comment on Peter Schiff is an Idiot by Fred

Peter Schiff is an idiot simply because his investment advice has been much worse than anybody’s out there. How do you “crash proof” your portfolio?
Go long emerging markets, long commodities, short the dollar, long gold. All these calls have been 100% wrong this year. Much worse tan if you’d have just bought a U.S. index fund. No wonder Europacific clients are leaving the firm in droves and the its credit lines are being cut. The best thing about Europacific? Their crack team of opinion Nazis who troll the Internet to flame anyone who doesn’t preach that Schiff is “right” or a “prophet.” They’re also very good at posting edited versions of his pronouncements on You Tube. Just watch how long it takes for the opinions Nazis to flame this post. Too bad that won’t to much for Europacific clients who have probably lost total of AT LEAST $700 million entrusting their money to Schiff in the last six months.

Peter Schiff IS an IDIOT, his economic views are basically a rip off from Nouriel Roubini who is actually a QUALIFIED economist.

Proof of Schiff’s stupidity are his polarized views and TV appearances where he was claiming that the current worldwide economic recession happened because of government intervention, which is hilarious, as anyone with half a brain knows, it was the LACK of government regulation what caused financial institutions to overleverage themselves with derivatives and CDOs and mortgage companies to create the housing bubble.

Peter Schiff is a MORON.

Actually Peter Schiff has been COMPLETELY wrong about the outcome of the financial crisis and the financial advise in his two doomsday books are complete failures and he himself admitted on Bloomberg TV in October 2008.
His advice for people to buy gold was completely wrong, as gold has gone down along all commodities in our deflationary recession.

Peter Schiff is an idiot, as he has no basic grasp of economics, he is still
screaming about how “government intervention” is going to cause “massive inflation” while the economy is DEFLATING.
Inflation is years away… we are in a DEFLATIONARY recession, which is something he is too stupid to understand.

While your right that PART of economic problems can be psychological, the key facts he talks about have nothing to do with psychology. While I agree that he uses this doom and gloom to promote his firm, he has been right on his predictions to this point, and if you listened to his overly optimistic opponents, you would have lost a mountain amount of cash.
Therefore, your an idiot for wanting him to lie to make the economy sound cheery when it really isn’t, and isn’t going to get better any time soon.

Thanks?…
I don’t know if you read the first sentence of not, but I don’t think Peter Schiff is an idiot for his economic views. He’s brilliant. I think he’s an idiot for being so doom and gloom when so much of our economic woes are psychological and things like poor consumer confidence help exasperate the downward turn.

What he needs to do is change his tone. The facts speak for themselves. You are absolutely correct that people holding “over-inflated crap assets” are the ones with questionable intelligence. More often than not, however, those people don’t know any better. They’re the same type that are susceptible to the kind of fear mongering that Peter Schiff exemplifies.

All I’m calling for is constructive criticism.

That’s hilarious that the wiki for Schmidt Sting Pain Index was outranking you. Those wiki pages rank well, good on you to get ahead of it.

You should make that an ongoing joke here.
