Peter Schiff's Issues Economic "Bloodbath" Warning.
FULL TRANSCRIPT
oh boy Peter Schiff has some Choice
things to say about inflation which
we're going to cover in just a moment
many of you can already imagine what
Peter shiff has to say about inflation
but there are some concerning things
leading into what Peter shiff has to say
that makes me pay a little bit more
attention take a look at this this is
the 5year break even for inflation it is
the markets expectation of inflation
over the next five years I broke this
down over at ec.com and what you can see
is this the last one year of inflation
expectations we have now broken the
highs that we briefly hit in October and
in March of last year and we are now at
a higher level of expected inflation
with a clear Trend straight up in
markets than we have had for any point
in the last 12 months hitting a low
right around the time JP pivoted and
turned a bit doish leading Marcus to
think hm is the Federal Reserve really
going to do enough to constrain
inflation especially since when we look
here we could see that if we annualize
the last 3 months or 6 months including
the estimates for February for pce of
pce inflation we can see very clearly
while we've come down nicely we're back
on an uptrend of inflation now is it
possible that this January February
uptrend will just be like a January
February uptrend here and we'll be right
back on a downtrend absolutely and maybe
that's what Fed chair jpow is waiting
for and expecting but what do Peter
Schiff warn in the meantime well that is
right here Peter shiff a guest I've had
on my channel multiple times visited his
house a couple of times great guy don't
always agree with all of his opinions
but I love paying attention to them
anyway to get perspective and insight
and that's one of the most important
things about the internet is we don't
have to agree with everything somebody
is saying we just want to look for what
is new and what are we potentially
missing Peter Schiff here suggests that
there's essentially no chance that
inflation is going back down to 2% and
we're on the verge of the biggest
Commodities bull market since the 1970s
this is probably very likely a proponent
of gold now I will say though that
Morgan Stanley's Mike Wilson who's been
pretty dang bearish on the stock market
has actually just turned bullish on
energy Commodities pretty bullish on
companies like conico Phillips and
ocidental petroleum suggesting that yeah
Commodities could actually rally Mike
Wilson from Morgan Stanley interested in
the energy sector Commodities not to be
confused with Renewables or like EVS or
solar but instead gas oil and then of
course shift more in gold silver right
here though Peter shift cites the H than
expected producer price report last week
contradicting power
but more importantly the FED is quote
cutting rates come hell or high water it
doesn't matter what the data is the Fed
is going to cut rates because the
country is broke they're not cutting
rates because they've won the war
against inflation they lost the war
they're cutting rates because they have
to avoid a financial crisis a banking
crisis and they want to try to reelect
Joe Biden now Donald Trump has has
already made it very clear that he would
fire Jerome how if Donald Trump is
elected and the Federal Reserve
indicates that they won't be
politicized but you have to wonder how
much politics might still have at least
somewhat of an influence on the Federal
Reserve right here uh you've got Peter
Schiff arguing that back in the day Ben
banki said we would never monetize our
debt basically print money just to be
able to pay our interest payments
because that would be like a Banana
Republic yet that is exactly what's
happening now so we must be a Banana
Republic and Peter Schiff wraps up by
saying we haven't experienced anything
like that this economy facing this sort
of inflation since the 1970s the
difference is that we're in much worse
shape economically now than where we
were in the 70s now I find this very
interesting because it stands quite in
contrast to what you see from uh
companies like TS Lombard who are
suggesting the following so where do we
end up from here for me the likeliest
path is a is still the softish landing
with the occasional bump I'm not sure
the authorities can get inflation down
to 2% but they're not going to trigger a
recession for the sake of an extra 100
basis points even a small policy
adjustment can prevent problems in
corporate debt and Commercial Real
Estate now this is very interesting to
reconcile because if you pull together
TS Lombard and Peter Schiff you're
actually somewhat arguing the same thing
you're arguing hey maybe we don't get
inflation down to 2% but maybe that's
okay after all it should be no surprise
to Jerome Powell that inflation
expectations have risen if anything Drew
and Powell is acutely aware that
inflation expectations have risen and
yet actively chose to ignore this so is
it possible that TS Lombard is right
when they say hey
we're going to stick on the path of some
nominal rate adjustments because even a
nominal rate adjustment will help soothe
the pain in commercial debt commercial
real estate and in banking I'm not
entirely sure if that really is going to
make a difference but TS Lombard thinks
so and of course Peter Schiff thinks
well it's all up Ponzi and they're going
to do whatever they can any way to keep
it going as long as they can even if
they end up giving up on the inflation
battle so this is where I got to
wondering hm where could we potentially
look to see some introductory inflation
in markets and see hey is there maybe a
leading indicator of what's going on
well this morning in our course member
live stream which I like to try to do
this every single day the market is open
we go through some form of fundamental
analysis one of the things we looked at
this morning was Olive Garden now Olive
Garden has always had this principle of
we will end up pricing below inflation
and they're doing that to really
advertise to their customers that look
we're not raising prices we're we're
just barely keeping up with inflation if
anything we're undershooting inflation
yet the reality seems to be a little
different see Olive Garden stated the
following commodity inflation came in at
about
1.5% which was below their expectation
and their pricing went up by 3 and 1/2%
and labor inflation was about 4 1/2% so
to me it seems like you're either right
in the midpoint or you're slightly on
the high side of how much pricing you've
actually taken at Olive Garden that's
LED Olive Garden to brag about their
margins and how well they're doing
because of course they're using AI in
their scheduling of course they are now
I personally think they're full of crap
last year they said yeah we're going to
price below inflation and then oh well
surpris we actually priced higher than
inflation now they're saying the same
thing again yeah yeah yeah yeah we're
going to price below inflation yet in
the meantime we're going to kind of keep
ratcheting and ratcheting and ratcheting
and the scary thing about this is take a
look at this overall inflation
expectations for Olive Garden Olive
Garden expects overall inflation to be
in the mid3 for us and pricing probably
in two and a half or the two to two and
a half range I actually think it'll end
up being higher but the fact that they
expect inflation to be in the mid-
Theses and labor inflation included in
that to contribute to Mid 3s on
inflation shows we're not exactly
trending close to 2% just yet now maybe
maybe maybe maybe it's all as JP said
maybe it's just that hey look we got to
get through the first few months and
then we're going to be right where we
were right where we were was the
trajectory of cutting cutting cutting
now what I like to do is I like to
compare well where were we just a few
months ago well just a few months ago
and I think this is a very interesting
chart to compare to I'm going to show
you the world interest rate probability
chart now I think this is fascinating
because it's going to show you
a change over time so let's throw this
up on screen so what you have on the
left side is a chart that shows you
markets were pricing in about 6.6 cuts
by the end of 2024 see that here
December 20124 this would be roughly the
beginning of 2025 and then over here you
have the number of rate Cuts so about
6.6 rate cuts that would bring rates
down to about
3.75% percent over here number of cuts
over here I'll zoom into into that for a
moment just so you can kind of see it
maybe a little bit more clearly right
here okay that's where we were now I
want you to see how many rate Cuts we're
pricing in now so this is January 2nd is
what this screenshot is from uh at least
I I backdated the uh data and went back
into the data which you could do you can
look at the charts back uh and then
compare that to where we sit
today this data is based on today today
we're only pricing in 3.6 rate cuts by
the end of January so if we go over here
to this left chart we've removed about
half of the cuts well what happens if we
continue to get data like this do we
remove the next half of the cuts yeah
probably now does that necessarily mean
the stock market's going to have any
issues no I mean look at Bitcoin
basically it's at all-time highs
nasdaq's about to go positive and once
again you've got Nvidia in rally mode
knocking on the door of its all-time
Highs at
957 pretty dang exciting now one thing
that did rally a little euphorically was
lucid this morning but we made sure to
short that this morning as we started
our course member live stream we shorted
it right around here sold it not all the
way at the bottom but right around 3ish
dollars right around where it is right
now and so we didn't get the exact
bottom but we did pick up a nice 40 to
50% gain on that short if you want my
Buy sell alerts make sure you're part of
the stocks and psychology of money group
so that was a nice few thousand just for
a quick little swing on a morning
euphoria pop boom short out thank you 30
minutes of work or less it's great but
what matters most here is could Peter
shift be right and could TS Lombard be
right that the Federal Reserve kind of
throws in the towel on 2% inflation I
don't think so and this is an important
bottom line so good job if you made it
this far in the video I do not think the
Federal Reserve is going to be willing
to increase their inflation Target to 2
and2 or 3% drum Powell was already asked
about flexible average inflation
targeting that was his best opportunity
to say yeah as long as we average out
10% or two and a half sorry as long as
we average out 2% we'll be good but
that's not what he said he said
basically we're not using a flexible
average inflation targeting anymore
we're committed to 2% now of course the
risk is that if you're committed to 2%
for too long you end up creating a labor
market issue you lead to
layoffs now even though we have started
seeing layoffs people do seem to be able
to get jobs again so jobs data hasn't
started weakening but there is the risk
that once jobs data starts weakening
it's too late but I don't think you have
a Federal Reserve that's willing to
throw in the towel on 2 and a half% yet
that means that when you have people
like ghouls be suggesting that we're in
a murky period of inflation even though
he thinks we still have three rate cuts
to go whereas bosk says he only expects
One Rate cut this year we have to
recognize that 5year break even
inflation levels this on a chart going
all the way back to
2022 5year inflation Break Even levels
sit at 2006 and S levels when the
Federal Reserve was worried about
inflation and was raising rates going
into the Great Recession yeah they were
raising rates going into the Great
Recession that's scary that we St we're
stabilizing out with inflation at
roughly the same level as we did before
2007 and 8 so am I here to say the AI
Euphoria is over no not not at all that
could probably keep going for quite a
while does it make me want to chase
every single AI play there is no do I
want to trade heck yeah and I'm going to
send Bell alerts for that but am I a
little dare I say confused at the moment
that you could have a Federal Reserve
literally staring at the data and say
data looks fine to me and I'm going
y'all said you data dependent which one
is it I advertise these things that you
told us here I feel like nobody else
knows about this well we'll try a little
advertising and see how it Go
