“The U.S. On The Brink Of COLLAPSE” | Peter Schiff

Stop printing money😂

Recessions are an unavoidable part of the economic cycle, all you can do is prepare for them and plan accordingly. I graduated into a slump (2009). My first job after graduating from college was as an aerial acrobat on cruise ships. Today, I work as a VP for a global corporation, own three rental properties, invest in stocks and businesses, run my own company, and have increased my net worth by $500k in the last four years. My own portfolio, enriched around 5.7BTC to a decent 18.5BTC in the space of a few months in a mere seven-week interval, serves as a compelling testament to Karolynn Brookes financial wisdom.

I think the market is getting ready to roll over.

Peter, you have be saying this forever, can't you think of something new to say. Whether you are right or wrong I'm getting tired of the same old story being repeated. Beginning to think you are here just for the clicks

Stock pumping with share buy backs is not real. Trade volumes, interest rates, debt/defaults, payroll/jobs and inflation are.

Traders will tell you that stock markets are to the moon now, those things are irrelevant. We just need the stock market to up only

Peter is a flip flopper. He used to love trumpy bear and now he's changing his position.

Low rates force money from savings accounts into gold. Banks are going to run out of cash

✊Thanks for the update. I advise traders, especially beginners, to research the market before investing. I must say that trading offers more benefits than simply holding investments. Thanks, Milton Toney, for keeping me informed. I'm glad I started using your program. 🔥🚀🚀

### US Economy on February 1, 2025

On February 1, 2025, the US economy was navigating a period of moderated growth following a stronger performance in late 2024. Real GDP growth for Q1 2025 (January-March) was reported at -0.3% annualized, reflecting headwinds from an uptick in imports, a slowdown in government spending, and disruptions from winter storms in January, though February and March showed resilience with stronger consumer and business activity. The unemployment rate stood at approximately 4.1%, with monthly job growth averaging 152,000 in Q1—below the prior quarter's pace but still indicative of a stable labor market near its non-cyclical rate. Inflation, measured by the PCE price index, was easing toward the Federal Reserve's 2% target, with expectations for it to average around 2.1% for the year, supported by moderating wage growth. The federal funds rate had begun a downward trajectory in late 2024, likely hovering around 4.25-4.50% as of early February, in response to cooling inflation. Consumer spending decelerated slightly but remained a key driver, contributing positively to GDP despite broader uncertainties around policy shifts.

### US Economy on October 1, 2025

By October 1, 2025, the US economy had shifted toward slower, below-trend expansion amid emerging pressures from higher tariffs, a softening labor market, and renewed inflationary risks. Real GDP growth for the full year was forecasted at 1.7%, with Q3 (July-September) showing moderate gains driven by resilient consumer spending and AI-related investments, though Q4 was projected to decelerate to 1.2% year-over-year. The unemployment rate had risen to 4.3% as of August, with job creation weakening sharply to just 22,000 in that month—the lowest in years—and further increases expected toward 4.8% by early 2026 due to tariff impacts on hiring. Inflation ticked up slightly due to tariff passthrough, with PCE inflation projected at 2.3% for the year, eroding real incomes and pressuring lower- to middle-income households. Interest rates had eased further, with the federal funds rate around 3.75-4.00% following additional Fed cuts, though long-term rates (e.g., 10-year Treasury) remained in the 3.9-4.2% range amid policy uncertainty. Retail sales held up at 0.6% month-over-month in August, buoyed by high-income spending, but real volumes grew only modestly as tariff-induced price hikes weighed on overall consumption.

Disagree that the economy "BUMP" inherited was bad, thus that is the reason why he got elected. The economy Biden inherited was less than zero.
He got elected because the virus he allowed in our country that has changed it forever caused massive inflation that took longer than usual to decrease in time for an election, racism, ignorance on behalf of the voting populace that he is a competent leader, and the hundreds of millions his butt buddy Elon Mush spent on his behalf during the election in an attempt to payback some of the millions he has received from government contracts.
These are the REAL reasons BUMP is in office. Tell the truth.
Interest rates are fine. The Fed is not in business to correct or support political ambitions. Let them do their job…

We need to get rid of the British Globalist financial system.
They create situations were the citizens lose all the time!

Oh no, so now the investor class that were overwhelmingly in favor of a Trump Presidency are now realizing that he is a complete disaster. Well get in line with the farmers, the petroleum industry, trucking industry and poor MAGA.

Actually never says that. Clickbait!
