Dump the Fed and Return to Gold Standard (Audio)

This weekend, Peter Schiff spoke with SGT Report about the big picture problems facing the United States and its economy. The discussion focused on the successful free market history of America and how far the country has deviated from the vision of the founding fathers. Towards the end, Peter elaborates on the end of the US dollar as the world’s reserve currency, the role a gold standard could play in fixing the economy, and why there is no longer a need for the Federal Reserve.

“Given the advancement in technology that exists today, a lot of the reasons that we needed a Fed are obsolete today. We really don’t need the Fed, because of the computers and telephone systems and the internet… I think the US economy can function extremely well on a gold standard with no Federal Reserve, and that’s what we should do. That would be ideal.”

We Need a Real Recession for Recovery (Video)

Peter Schiff just appeared on CNBC’s Closing Bell to argue that the Fed’s quantitative easing is preventing the US economy from recovering in a fundamental way. If you don’t want to fall victim to a greater economic crisis than 2008, consider diversifying out of the US stock market with hard assets like physical gold and silver.

“If the Fed begins to taper… we’ll be back in recession. It’s not going to be good for stocks. The whole rally is based on QE… But the more the Fed succeeds in pushing up the market now with QE, the further it’s going to fall once the QE stops. Because it has to end eventually, otherwise the dollar is going to collapse and it’s not going to matter what your stock portfolio is worth because you’re not going to be able to buy anything.”

Since When Does Higher Inflation Help the Economy? (Video)

In this clip from yesterday’s Kudlow Report on CNBC, Peter Schiff shares his interpretation of the Federal Reserve’s latest statement, arguing that the next move the Fed will make is to increase its quantitative easing. Larry Kudlow agrees with Peter that the Fed has no real exit strategy and implies that higher inflation targets are not going to help the economy. When the financial media starts to agree with Peter, you know it’s time to buy physical gold and silver!

“You go back to the Fed statement – the Fed doesn’t mention taper. It says ‘adjust monetary policy.’ Adjustment doesn’t imply a direction. I think what the Fed is getting ready to do is increase the amount of QE, not diminish it.”

Gold’s Long-Term Risk Management Value

The World Gold Council just released Volume 4 of its Gold Investor. The latest research from the WGC addresses misunderstandings about gold’s value as a long-term hedge against inflation and protector of purchasing power.

“The merits of gold as an investment receives a lot of attention. Investors and market commentators fervently debate whether it could or should be used to protect against inflation, to hedge US dollar exposure, or even tail risk events. And while there is enough literature for and against gold’s roles in a portfolio, or what measures should be used to assess its effectiveness, they are quite often inadequately defined.

Misunderstandings about gold’s properties have led to multiple articles contesting gold’s role as an inflation hedge, currency hedge, and tail risk hedge, among others. We contend that by properly defining these functions and using appropriate measures, gold’s purchasing power preservation qualities and risk management characteristics become apparent. While gold’s ability to hedge inflation or protect against a very specific kind of risk could be replicated by including securities constructed specifically with that objective, these can often be costly and add an additional set of risks, such as credit or counterparty risk exposure.

Gold is a well rounded, cost effective strategic asset, which held even in a modest amounts (typically 2%-10% of a portfolio) can help investors reduce risk without sacrificing long term returns.”

QE Props Up Wall Street & Destroys Main Street (Video)

Yesterday, Arise Xchange interviewed Peter Schiff about the implications of the Federal Reserve’s quantitative easing and the possibility of the stimulus being reduced in the near future. Peter emphasized that investors shouldn’t be distracted by short-term asset bubbles – these are all going to collapse when the money printing stops.

“When they stop doing the QE, we’re going to realize how much worse the problems are than they were in 2008… The Fed doesn’t want us to feel the pain that unfortunately is going to come with solving our problems. They want to numb us up with more QE. So they’re going to keep on doing it until we have a complete economic catastrophe.”
