Peter Schiff

Peter Schiff made a huge splash when he became one of only a few elite economists to accurately forecast the mortgage crisis in 2007 and the subsequent recession. Yet this came as no surprise to his loyal following; Schiff has written four best-selling books and is one of the most popular economic commentators in the world.

As president and chief global strategist of Euro Pacific Capital, he is known as one of the smartest investment minds today, recognized for his knowledge of the foreign securities markets as well as the currency and gold markets. He has gathered international attention for accurately predicting the collapse of the housing and credit markets, the subprime crisis, and the increasing price of gold relative to the US dollar.

Schiff delivers lectures at major economic and investment conferences around the country and the world. He is quoted often in print media, including The Wall Street Journal, The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Barron's, Businessweek, Time, and Fortune. His broadcast credits include regular guest appearances on CNBC, Fox Business, CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News Channel, as well as hosting a weekly radio show.

Peter Schiff's first book, Crash Proof: How to Profit from the Coming Economic Collapse, published by Wiley & Co. in early 2007, predicted the 2008 economic crisis while the mainstream commentators were saying it was impossible. Then, at the height of the crisis, Schiff released his follow-up bestseller, The Little Book of Bull Moves in Bear Markets, which teaches readers how to help protect their finances in turbulent times. In 2009, he released Crash Proof 2.0: How to Profit from the Economic Collapse, updating his renowned first book and discussing strategies for the next phase of the financial crisis. In 2010, he updated The Little Book of Bull Moves. His only work of fiction, How an Economy Grows and Why It Crashes, is an illustrated fable explaining basic economics to general audiences.
