Peter Schiff – YouTube, Released on 4/27/25

Peter Schiff discusses the market’s recent rally as a bear market rally and critiques former President Donald Trump’s offhand comments about Jerome Powell’s rate policies. Schiff argues that Trump’s administration manipulated markets with strategic statements, but didn’t address the fundamental economic issues, like the hollowing out of America’s manufacturing base. Schiff also discusses gold’s surge to a near all-time high, contrasting it with Bitcoin’s performance. He criticizes the U.S. focus on becoming a crypto superpower at the expense of industrialization. Schiff concludes with commentary on rejected mortgage refinancing applications and existing home sales reflecting economic weakness, promoting gold and gold mining stocks as the best investment strategy.
