He also gives you what to do next, which is something a lot of other pundits don't. Will runaway inflation really be what happens in the next five years? Maybe, maybe not, but at least you can act on it if you believe him. If you ever take anyone elses' advice without putting it through your own filter, you'll fail regardless of who that person is. If you analyze it yourself, then believe it, then be thankful if that person explains how you can take advantage. I don't know if Schiff is right, but at least if I believe him I can act on it.

I still have Mr. Ruff's book "How To Prosper During The Coming Bad Years" from 1979 to remind me that the pendelum swings both ways and not to put too much stock in the gloom and doomers. That was when inflation was running rampent and the stock market hadn't moved in 10 years. He advocated buying bags of gold and silver, moving to a rural area where you could grow your own food and dehydrate it so it would last, stock up on toilet paper and hunker down to ride the inflation train. Of course, a year or two later, the stock market has its best bull run of all time ending in 2000. Seems to me, a good contrarian would use these "signs" as reasons to load up on good stocks via index funds. Mr. Schiff reminds me a bit of Howard Ruff.
