That is pretty incredible

This video is a compilation of things that Peter Schiff predicted correctly. There are many predictions that haven't turned out so accurately, such as the price of gold reaching $5,000 - a prediction he made back in 2006 for 2008.

Personally, I don't believe in prophets and think the business of being a prophet is a very risky one. You can build this reputation, and then make one wrong major prediction that makes you look like a complete fool.

I have my own predictions of the future based on my limited life-experience (and isn't everyone's?) and critical thinking, but I never attempt to be a prophet and I chose to not follow and prophets of any kind. Only god (if there's one) can see the future - humans view of the future will always be limited a great deal.

Even Richard Heinberg and other "authorities" on Peak-Oil agree that the factors are too many for any one person or think tank to be able to accurately predict the future.

I didn't say he was a prophet, just that it was a great juxtaposition of someone correctly identifying a problem and a whole lot of people, blinded by ideology, who refused to believe it.

I'm sure Schiff has his own blind spots too.
