Peter Schiff : The ’80s and ’90s. You had 20 years where gold and silver prices did nothing but go down and stock and bond prices did nothing but go up. If you had your money in gold for those 10 or 20 years, you missed out on enormous gains. It was that track record for the money managers and portfolio managers that started their career in the ’80s, which is when a lot of people came to Wall Street. By the end of the ’90s, with the Dow at 10,000 and the NASDAQ at 5,000, but gold at like $250 and silver at about $4, it basically pounded out any sense of optimism on the metals or why to buy them.
Over the past decade or so, you have seen the flip side of that as you’ve seen stock prices have come down a lot relative to gold. Now you are getting a change where people are more comfortable holding gold because in the rear-view mirror it doesn’t look so bad for gold. Bonds have not come down as much relative to gold, but I think the bond bubble is going to burst and will be falling for years too. And gold will look that much better.
Peter Schiff is a well-known commentator appearing regularly on CNBC, TechTicker and FoxNews.
