Thoughts On The Economy, Buffet, Oscars & Politics – Ep.148

Thoughts On The Economy, Buffet, Oscars & Politics – Ep.148


* The Dow finished the last trading day in February, with a 123-point decline, in fact the Dow Jones closed at the low of the day; the NASDAQ was down 32.5 points
* Gold reversed the declined from Friday, it was up $16.5 today it's up another $2.50 as I record this, we're now back above $1240
* The reason gold declined on Friday was that the rate hike was apparently back on the table because of some stronger than expected Q4 GDP numbers and also the consumer income and spending numbers were hotter than expected
* If you remember, I thought Q4 GDP would be revised down from .7%, in fact the consensus was for a downward revision to .4%; as it turned out, the government moved it up to +1%
* The reason for the adjustment was that inventories were not draw down as much as was originally thought, so I suppose that will happen in 2016 Q1
* In fact, the Atlanta GDP has already walked down their estimate for Q1 a bit, since that number came out.
* I don't think it really matters with the government says Q4 GDP was, because before the year is over they will revise that quarter negative because they will have to admit that the recession began last quarter
* They always declare a recession after the fact by going back and revising down the data
* We got the January trade deficit in merchandise that actually came out bigger than expected; $62.2 billion vs $61 billion - that's a lot of red ink for merchandise trade in one month
* What also spooked the gold market was the income and spending numbers - hotter than anticipated - personal income up .5 vs .4 expected, spending also up .5 vs .3 expected
* The core CPE numbers, the inflation numbers were hotter also; instead of being unchanged, were up .1
* Year over year, we were up 1.7 on the core and 1.3 overall
* The idea was that these numbers indicated that the rate hikes are back on the table
* I don't think so; especially when you look at the horrible numbers that came out today
* First is the Chicago PMI for February. Last month was 55.6, they were looking for 52.9; we got 47.6
* If you look at some of the sub-components, including employment, this was the weakest Chicago PMI since the great recession of 2009

Precious Metals Start 2026 With Strong Gains

Precious Metals Start 2026 With Strong Gains

In this Schiff Gold Friday Market Wrap, Peter Schiff breaks down the explosive start to 2026 for precious metals after a historic 2025: gold surged, silver and platinum ripped higher, and mining stocks finally confirmed the bull market by outperforming the metals. Peter explains why this is no longer “just a gold story,” why silver’s breakout likely reset support far above the old $50 ceiling, and why miners still look cheap despite massive gains.He also warns that 2026 could bring a physical silver squeeze—rising demand, tightening supply, and potential premium spikes that may make getting silver harder than simply watching the spot price. Peter connects the metals move to the bigger macro backdrop: de-dollarization, ballooning U.S. deficits and debt, weakening labor data, rising global yields (including Japan), and policy-driven inflation pressures.Finally, he revisits the fading “Bitcoin as digital gold” narrative—why Bitcoin lagged while real money led, and why that shift could accelerate capital flows toward gold, silver, and mining stocks in 2026.⭐️ Sign up for Peter's most valuable insights at https://schiffsovereign.com🔔 Free Reports & Market Updates: https://www.europac.com🟨 Gold News: http://www.schiffgold.com/news📘 Book Store: https://schiffradio.com/books👉 Follow Peter Schiff on Twitter: https://twitter.com/peterschiff👉 Follow Peter Schiff on Instagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiff👉 Follow Peter Schiff on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficial👉 Follow Peter Schiff on Facebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Year-End Special: My 2026 Economic and Market Forecasts

Year-End Special: My 2026 Economic and Market Forecasts

Silver didn’t just rally in 2025 — it broke out. After blasting through the multi-decade $50 ceiling and printing a violent spike into the $80s, silver finished the year still above $70, up roughly 140% while gold surged 64%. Meanwhile, the asset CNBC swore would win the year — Bitcoin — finished down, and Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MicroStrategy) collapsed to a fresh 52-week low.In this episode, Peter Schiff explains why the “blow-off top” narrative is wrong, why silver’s skepticism is actually bullish, and why this breakout is the start of a new leg higher — not the end. He also lays out why 2026 is shaping up as stagflation (weaker growth + stronger inflation), why tariffs will filter into consumer prices, why the Fed will face massive political pressure to cut and monetize, and why capital is rotating out of U.S. assets and into precious metals, commodities, foreign stocks, and emerging markets.If you’re still treating Bitcoin as “digital gold,” this is your warning shot: silver is signaling something big — and crypto may be next to unwind.👉 Follow Peter Schiff on Twitter: https://twitter.com/peterschiff👉 Follow Peter Schiff on Instagram: https://instagram.com/peterschiff👉 Follow Peter Schiff on TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@peterschiffofficial👉 Follow Peter Schiff on Facebook: https://facebook.com/peterschiffOur Sponsors:* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code GOLD20 for a great deal: https://www.trudiagnostic.comPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
