Fireworks Fly As Peter Schiff Warns "An Economy That Lives By QE, Dies By QE"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Ahead of tomorrow's decision by the FOMC, Peter Schiff ventured on to CNBC to discuss the economy, the fed, and gold... among other things. Schiff rightly fears that while the Fed may well stop QE3 tomorrow, QE4 will not be too long behind it as he notes, rather eloquently, that "an economy that lives by QE, will die by QE" as the Fed's total lack of willingness to allow stocks to fall (see Bullard 2 weeks ago) or a 'cleansing' recession leaves the nation's economy in far worse shape than it was before the Fed's intervention. Schiff calmly replies to the anchor's questions (as she proclaims "I am not on the side of the Fed but..."), gently explains his view on gold when challenged about his 'wrongness', but when a guest starts hounding him for being dangerous to CNBC viewers wealth... Schiff (rightly) loses it - must watch!

 

A well reasoned discussion of the Fed's manipulation of markets and mal-investment hangovers is well worth the price of admission... but at around 6:35 when Scott Nations unleashes his tirade on Schiff, the fireworks start to fly... and Schiff (while being shouted over) reminds guests, anchors, and viewers alike "Go to YouTube, I am wrong a lot less often than most people on this program... and all you do is hassle me"  that he was among the very few appearing on CNBC before the crash who foresaw it and the cataclysmic shift that has occurred (no matter what the perception of short-term memory traders)..."Think of all the bulls you paraded out here when Nasdaq was 5,000"

Absolute must watch...

We can't help but feel the timing of this tirade against Schiff is spookily prophetic and will be in its own YouTube class in a few years...

*  *  *

Ironically, here is Scott Nations in 2008 getting "Schiff'd" by the CNBC anchors (Liesman) and some other guest muppet when he dares to suggest the Fed is intervening and that the President's Working Group (i.e. Plunge Protection Team) is hard at work...

"look at the market action on the 10th and 28th and tell me what else might have generated a 100 point rally in the S&P under that situation?" Liesman fobs him off as some conspiracy wonk...

Yep looks normal to us... 10/10/2008

 

and 10/28/2008

 

Those are 100 point moves on a 700/800 S&P!! Nothing to see here eh Liesman, Kiernan, Quick?

I can't believe they still have him on there. I guess since he is wrong right now(temporarily in my opinion) it's good to have him on to try to make him look foolish. But I bet once he is inevitably right, he won't be getting too many invites. They'll keep parading idiots like gartman on there telling people to buy the dpi every day, all the way down to S&P 600 or so.

I saw an interview of him about a year ago, where he mentioned that before the housing bubble burst, every network wanted him on to laugh at and when it became obvious he was right the phonecalls stopped dead.  No one wanted to talk to him anymore.

All the networks wanting him on again now means that we are at a certain point in the process and moving forward.

When London's LBMA, which is 85% of global gold trading volume, trades 180 million oz. a day with 100:1 paper leverage, the price can't possibly move in any meaningful way until the rig blows up.

 

Nations is correct in the short term. Schiff is correct in the medium to long term when the whole thing blows. Schiff should know better than to make short term gold calls but then perhaps he believes in the unallocated LBMA gold (paper gold) market.

If they lose control of the price of gold they will confiscate it and make possession illegal.

They did it before and they'd do it again.

Nothing is as convincing as to the inherent value of gold as money, and as a long term store of value than trying to figure out a substitute.

"they" are not confiscating it from the chinese or the russians.  not even from the indians.  probably not even from saudi arabia, more subservient than which is hard to imagine.

for subjects of obama and his likely shameful successors, buy gold and silver miners.  they weren't confiscated in '33.  they went up about 500%.

The only reason confiscation didn't turn to revolution in the 30's is that the people trusted government.  Not so today.  Back then, everyone had gold, today the people who actually have it know more about the truth of 'money' and they know what fiat is.  Gold confiscation today would hardly be worth it.

Even under the gold exchange standard, virtually all money was gold back then, so it was relatively easy to confiscate - they just seized it from the banks.

Now? lulz, good luck. As soon as word got out that FedGov were confiscating, oops, sorry, nationalising gold, it would vanish into a million holes in the ground.

Did she say "inflation" because she should know that there is no inflation as per The Fed.  Your "money" is not eroding as she claims it's only getting hopier.  Also she quite rightly points out that if you haven't gambled in the stock markets you can only hold cash; those are the two choices, nothing else.

and of course any talk of manipulation is "out there" for CNBC. regardless, its happening, due to the FED backstopping primary dealer metal shorts, leasing, ETF wipeouts, etc. the foreign metal settlement exchanges will be the turd in the punch bowl that finally sends COMEX and LBMA to the ER - to say nothing of the chinese and russian accumulation on the cheap - which in my humble opinion, is a quid pro quo for them to not dump the treasuries they hold, starting the (long overdue) run from the dollar to all tangible assets.

saw liz claiman on news early this evening talking up the market and how well FB had done. Before FB guided down. And although I do not watch cnbc nor fox biz much, I highly doubt they are exploiting buybacks and NON GAAP accounting all that much as a news story--they will. Between GOOG and FB--most companies would like their sales to be equal to FB and GOOG NON GAAP adjustments.

US-UK System loves to cover-up faults.

US-UK System can not admit faults or weakness. You might call this perfectionism. You might call this hyper-politics where you can't afford to show weakness or to even loss one time in public... so you blame employees, scapegoats, sub-contractors, partisan politics, and politics in general.

The fact is that US-UK System is hyper-competitive and Europe must be also. US is the most productive Nation in the World... therefore must be the most corporate system in the world. Sort of fits with the fascist theory... Germany, China are just more socialist or more cutthroat.

Empires Fall:

- When we can't tell the truth
- The Government Can't Tell the Truth
- Government Statistics are Falsified
- Voting Citizens don't know the Truth
- Slaves or Indentured Servants rebel for their Ideals of Democracy, Free Markets, Individual Rights, or for freedom from Serfdom
- Citizens are not longer willing to support foreign Wars or Domestic Wars with blood or Taxes or Inflation

Being a gold bull or skeptic of this charade is the equivalent of a football team that is down 13-0 late in the 4th quarter. They haven't moved the ball all day and have had their brains beat in for 4 quarters. They score a quick long TD, then recover and onsides kick & march down the field to score the winning TD as time expires. Everyone who was high fiving one another & dumping Gatorade on the coach 2 minutes ago looks around at each other and is trying to figure out what exactly the fuck just happened.

Except the Sun Devils were down 34-25 with 3:54 left in the Fourth Quarter. Final score 38-34, ASU Sun Devils, as time expired. (Actually, from what I have read, and watched on the clips, it was a planned, and well executed, Wide Receiver Post Route rather than a heave it into the End Zone free for all Hail Mary.)

 

Watch Pac-12 College Football? (At least it is not as commercialized as that damned Professional Sports. There is some "amateur" left in it.)

 

And fortunately I have a computer to watch the results on Yahoo Box Score...if not the game. I hate TeeVee.

Do you understand the difference between “Understanding” and ‘Knowing’?

 

You ‘Know’ that free-money (QE) and low-interest rates (ZIRP) exist, right?

 

So now, do you ‘understand’ the link between ZIRP and shale? As well as, asset inflation?

 

Do you ‘understand’ the link between QE and that, we’re in a ‘Permanent Consumption Destruction’?

Good point about Shale.

I have to think a little about QE and consumption Link...

- Clearly there is a history of outsourcing in the USA that goes back to 1900s, with military intervention for unions and worker strikes
- Clearly there is a history of Bankers Holding back Investment even when Foreigners are Investing in the USA, and even when economic conditions scream for capital expansion and domestic investment
- Clearly there is room for Public Banking and States Banks that invest depositors funds evenly and even in recessions and times of stagnation
- Clearly Private Executives failed in manufacturing industries like auto manufacturing where they paid too much compensation to both wage earning employees in factories and to their glorified executives
- Clearly there is an untold history of the Failure of US Big Auto Companies who lost over half their market share due to planned obsolescence, poor quality, globalism, and foreign competition

My conclusion is the USA can not recognize the emperor has no clothes within it's UK/European Economic System... even when it's most important industries fail, repeat bankruptcy filings, repeated bailouts, and consumer movement to better foreign products... Only Fascism can cover up the Failure of US Automotive and other Manufacturing Industries.

You got it!

 

US industries can NO longer compete. One example: Patents: U.S. dominated patents for a century. However; 2008 global patents: 163,800. 2008 U.S. patents: 53,521. U.S. global share: 32.6%. Slight less than a third [and declining].

To add insult to injury: China already is the #2 producer of “scientific papers” on nanotechnology.

US no longer have the monopoly on resources. US is no longer sufficient on oil and natural gas.

And because of its debt, and have exported most of its manufacture base, once the price of oil goes to $150 dollars a barrel, US will no longer afford, or can compete for expensive oil with China, and the main oil producers, either.

 

So, when I hear the misinformed and delusional believing in Utopia, after the “Welcome” financial meltdown arrives everything will be Hunky-Dory It reminds me of this quote:

Escrava Isaura; So based on your previous responses... I take it you are sharing in our US Future for the good or bad... whatever may come?

Yeah, we have exported our Technology to include our Military Technology since both the Republicans & Democrats are fully "Bribe-able".

And if US Congress is willing to export our manufacturing & our Military Secrets... well, we know it was a COUP when we did these things and signed NAFTA, CAFTA-DR, and Globalization... did it start with Kissinger in 1972?

- In May 1973, in an effort to build toward formal diplomatic relations, the US and the PRC established the United States Liaison Office (USLO) in Beijing and a counterpart PRC office in Washington, DC. In the years between 1973 and 1978, such distinguished Americans as David K. E. Bruce, George H. W. Bush, Thomas S. Gates, and Leonard Woodcock served as chiefs of the USLO with the personal rank of Ambassador.

- On January 1, 1979, the United States changed its diplomatic recognition of Chinese government from Taiwan to China.

I think we have Grounds here for a Purge of the US Government.

We can Impeach Henry (Heinz) Kissinger, Zbigniew Brzezinski and others... and perhaps Exile them to China... along with our European Bankers.

Repeat after me: the only country that can produce virtually unlimited amounts of USD at essentially no cost is... the US. And what do our OPEC satrapies demand in exchange for oil? USD.

The US de facto owns every drop of oil in every country that demands USD for payment. The US is not only effectively 'self-sufficient' in oil; it owns most of the oil on the planet, and will continue to do so as long as its military can enforce the US government's will on oil producers.

Everyone knows its propped up and they are taking full advantage of it. Further they believe it will never crash again as the Fed has fully and transparently taken control of it. The market is dead. It is simply a feeding trough to consume those who still think they can win. That pool will eventually shrink as the profits required to maintain this scheme will evaporate any perceived "winnings" until it becomes all too obvious as to what it actually is. Their belief in our ignorance is only exceeded by their own ignorance. It will end and NONE of them will have seen it coming. They won't believe their bad luck.

So.. there is some good, bad and ugly in this interview:

The good: is basically the little run-down of the economy that Schiff gives right before he gets cut loose.  Bonds are dire.  Debt is dire.  QE is not even remotely credible a 4th time around, it is a political wash and folks simply won't buy it.

The bad: which I have to mention to some extent, is that he disregards the larger macro picture.  If bonds collapse in foreign markets, as they well may, capital will fly pretty much anywhere it can stick.  The US financial markets, namely stocks, are still the most -obvious- place.

I do believe that the reason why the Fed has spent so long "tapering" QE (if they did in actuality) is to remove any shaky investors and temper the markets over time.  At least temporarily.

If international capital flies into US stocks it could extend the time horizon that Schiff is looking at, far longer.

The ugly:  Those dipshits giving Schiff a hard time.  Honestly, what kind of fucktard advocates not owning ANY gold in a portfolio?  Want to know the litmus test for a media commentator who is compromised in the US?  Ask for their take on gold.  If they do not mention at least owning a small portion in your portfolio, then count on them either being a shill, a liar, or an idiot.

People bash Schiff a lot.  Of course, he sells gold, and thus has vested interests and a bottom line for sales.  But ultimately, I do believe he is a man of his conviction and is a lot less compromised than these retards.

Edit: And don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy folks putting Schiff's feet to the flames, nothing wrong with criticism and debate it is healthy.  Plus Schiff is pretty good at defending his stance.  But these folks are just too much.

Where do I personally stand?  I still see gold potentially taking a drubbing (or remaining flat) for a little while yet.  If it goes any lower, I will buy more.  Mainly because the last thing I want to hold right now is cash.

As for stocks?  Well.. they will probably make new highs defying all worldly logic, just based on how shit the rest of the world is.  But given their fundamentals (ie: none)..  I would be inclined to be -extremely- selective.

PS: It is also obvious to me that there are two types of games being played here.  Schiff is playing the longer term game, which is the best way to go.  The jackass giving him a hard time is talking about day trades, or short-term trades.  What the hell does a day trader know about fundamentals?  The people who benefit from day traders/frequent traders are the brokers.

I agree it just isn't credible.. Which is why any QE will be done via covert means, or will need a major reason for being done (edit: or a rebrand).

Central bank credibility is extremely low right now.. and that is not a place that any central bank(ers) want to be.  Can't help but feel that Bullard was floating the QE train balloon with his earlier comments about QE4.  Testing the water.

But I think they'll make good on it eventually. Just ratchet the market down low enough, until people perceive things to be bad (at whatever point that is), talk about it if markets turn down too much, and then do it when the time is right. Then they can go on for a year or two.

Gold initiative is all over the media in Switzerland. TPTB and MM are in full panic mode since a week or so.

The funny thing is the guys behind the initiative are really smart, saying they aren't against the 1.20 CHF/EUR floor. They say sure the SNB can keep buying foreign currency reserves to hold the floor, they just have to keep buying enough gold at the same time. LOL! Excellent!

In my opinion there is a good chance of this referendum getting a surprise yes. Especially because on the same day there will be another referendum ("ecopop") which would limit the immigration drastically. So all the world and their brother were lobbying against that one and forgot about the gold initiative.

Actually, QE4 happening AND PMs falling in price isn't too far fetched.

A) What's been one constant with QE, is that it has "helped" the economy (i.e. the stawks) but has done so less effectively, each time.  Despite printing moar each time.

B) What this means is, QE is actually deflating the economy.  The Fed, by printing all of this money to prop up TBTF banks and government (CIA) debt, can potentially, and as the trend is going, put things IN REVERSE.  What happens if we get to QE5? QE7? QE69?  Deflation will reap havoc across the land, and will even effect commodities (oil) and PMs. You might see $1.50 gas in your lifetime, for a good 3 months, 10 years from now.  You'll laugh.

C) Manipulation of PM price always plays a role; remember even the "oligarchs" and CBs, despite holding PMs themselves, don't want things like Gold and Silver spiking.  It would be a large shift of dough from fiat asset holders to savers and hard asset owners.  The idea of keeping PMs low is that that vig on the other side of the hedge goes to stock owners, real estate owners, and banks.  If it sways, then people might FINALLY figure out the economy is a ponzi scheme and then the jig is up.  Hyperinflation and then havoc (like crime, political dysfunction, war) ensues.
