Peter Schiff appeared on RT Boom Bust on Tuesday (Sept. 17) to talk about interest rates, gold and the dollar. Peter said the fiat currency system may not survive the next recession.
Peter Schffは9月17日にRT Boom Bustで金利、ゴールドそしてドルについて語った。Peterが言うには、次の景気後退で管理通貨は生き残れないだろう、と。
The conversation started focusing on the repo operations conducted by the Federal Reserve early in the week, Peter said the financial media and Wall Street are being much too complacent about what’s going on.
Peter noted that the Fed has been artificially suppressing interest rates, particularly since the 2008 financial crisis.
Peterが言うには、FEDは人工的に金利を抑圧してきた、特に2008年の金融危機以来だ。
And by keeping interest rates artificially low, they have created a
bubble that’s much bigger than the one that popped in 2008. And what
happened this morning is you could see the air coming out of that
bubble, because the market is trying to bring interest rates higher
because we have no real savings in this country. We have enormous debt. Everybody
is levered up to the max — government, the private sector, business,
consumers — because rates have been so low, we’ve borrowed so much money.
The market wants interest rates to be higher but the Fed doesn’t want
that to happen because the road back to normal interest rates is a very
bumpy one because it’s going to take us right through another financial
crisis. So, the Fed is trying to keep interest rates artificially low
and they almost lost control of it this morning. “
In effect, the Fed created about $50 to $70 billion out of thin air to supply the liquidity that the market needed.
実際には、FEDは$50Bから$70Bの資金を無から生み出し市場の要求に応じて流動性注入を行った。
But what happens next time? What happens if we need $100 billion? What happens if we need a trillion? Because
eventually, we will. Eventually, the Fed has to choose between
destroying the dollar and allowing the market to bring interest rates to
a level that makes sense for an economy with this much debt. Then all
hell breaks loose because we have a much worse financial crisis than the
one we had in ‘o8.”
Peter said as far as the Federal Reserve goes, we are heading toward a
recession, but the cure for what ails us is not cutting interest rates.
He said we need to go through the recession and higher rates are part
of the cleansing process.
But the Federal Reserve has no stomach for doing what’s right, so,
they will cut interest rates becuase that’s what the addicts on Wall
Street demand. So, we’re not going to have a real recovery. We’re just going to try to maintain this bubble.”
Peter reiterated what he’s been saying for months. The Fed will go
back to zero. It might even go negative. It will launch another round of
QE. But it won’t work this time.
They also discussed what Peter has called a very violent move in the bond market. Peter said the real problem is in the long end of the market where 30-year yields are barely above 2%.
Who in their right mind would loan the US government money
for 30 years — you’re not getting your money back for 30 years — at 2%
coupons for the next 30 years, waiting to get repaid?”
Peter touched on recent charges brought against JP Morgan employees
relating to the manipulations of the gold price. He said price
manipulation isn’t the reason the price of gold is relatively low.
It’s not much higher because too many people don’t understand what’s
going on. You know, they have confidence in the Federal Reserve, other
central banks. They believe in this bubble. They are as fooled
now as they were going into the 2008 financial crisis. The difference
was they were bailed out last time. As wrong as all the experts
were on Wall Street and in other countries who couldn’t see an obvious
crisis coming, when they were blindsided, their pals at the Federal
Reserve and other central banks were able to bail them out. It’s
not going to work this time. It doesn’t mean the central banks won’t
try. But as I said, it won’t succeed. They’re going to destroy the
dollar in the process, maybe even bring down the entire fiat monetary
system. And gold is already rising. Gold is telling you on the
ashes of this old system we’re going to resurrect the gold standard.
Because that’s what we had prior to the dollar taking over. We had a
much sounder monetary system then. We had a more viable global economy. Once
we took the money out of the economy, once we substituted real money
for fiat, that was the beginning of these problems and the end of these
problems is going to be returning to honest money, which is gold.”
最後の2段落だけ訳をいれました。 Big Silver-Stock Potential Adam Hamilton February 7, 2020 2689 Words The silver miners’ stocks are looking interesting. While they really lagged silver’s surge on gold’s bull-market-breakout rally last summer, their upleg since remains intact. Gold stocks’ own upleg peaked in early September. And silver itself remains wildly undervalued relative to gold, overdue to mean revert dramatically higher. When that happens during gold’s next upleg, the silver stocks have big potential to soar. Like the global silver market is vastly smaller than gold’s, silver stocks are a proportionally-little fraction of the precious-metals miners. As a small subset of a usually-ignored contrarian sector, the silver stocks often languish in obscurity. For decades there wasn’t even a silver-stock index, making sector analysis difficult. ...
Gold Mid-Tiers’ Q4’19 Fundamentals Adam Hamilton March 20, 2020 3250 Words The mid-tier gold miners’ stocks have been annihilated with COVID-19 fears infecting traders’ sentiment. They crashed with gold getting hammered on extreme gold-futures selling! With blood in the streets, the buy-low opportunities are phenomenal. The fundamentally-superior mid-tier gold miners have epic upside potential during gold’s next upleg. This key sector just reported outstanding Q4’19 results on higher gold. The sheer carnage in gold-stock-land has been jaw-dropping! In late February, the gold-stock sector per its leading benchmark GDX VanEck Vectors Gold Miners ETF edged up to a 3.5-year high slightly above early September’s. That was fueled by gold’s $1600 breakout surge on COVID-19 fears. Yet as I warned in an essay the trading day before GDX’s pe...

That’s a disheartening contrast to their powerful summer upleg on gold’s bull-market breakout. While this healthy gold-stock correction likely isn’t over yet, the gold miners remain very undervalued relative to the metal they produce. That means they still have massive upside left in this secular gold bull. Sentiment just needs rebalancing before its next upleg. In recent months I’ve written a lot about gold’s correction, which is naturally driving a parallel one in the gold miners’ stocks. I’ve explained why speculators’ positioning in gold futures, gold’s dominant primary short-term driver, remains bearish with potential selling vastly outweighing likely buying. I’ve shown how shallow ...
最後の2段落だけ訳を入れておきます。 Gold-Stock Bull Breakout! Adam Hamilton April 24, 2020 2845 Words The gold miners’ stocks surged to a major bull-market breakout this week! Powering decisively above their years-old secular resistance is a hugely-important technical event. It proves this gold-stock bull is alive and well, greatly improves sentiment, and puts this high-flying sector on countless more traders’ radars. New bull highs fuel self-feeding bullish psychology, as speculators and investors love chasing winners. The gold miners’ stocks are essentially leveraged plays on gold, since its price overwhelmingly drives their earnings and thus ultimately stock prices. So gold-stock bulls and bears mirror and amplify gold’s own major market cycles. Today’s secular gold bull began marching in mid-December 2015, birthed from choking despair. Gold stocks’ ...

That high consolidation really weighed on sentiment, with greed giving way to apathy. This sector normally tends to suffer a seasonal slump into mid-March, paving the way for gold stocks’ spring rally. That’s their second-strongest seasonal surge of the year running into early June. Seasonality is the tendency for prices to exhibit recurring patterns at certain times during the calendar year. While seasonality doesn’t drive price action, it quantifies annually-repeating behavior driven by sentiment, technicals, and fundamentals. We humans are creatures of habit and herd, which naturally c...
