Peter Schiff predicting the crisis in 2006
The first question that many people ask is - could this crisis be predicted? The answer is yes and no. No - you couldn’t predict the exact moment of the beginning of the crisis. Nobody could rationally expect the crash in the particular day or even month.
But yes - you could have expected the crisis to happen sooner or later. It’s not difficult to prove it. The most popular proof on the internet this days is Peter Schiff - US economist. Below you can see an interview from 2006. It’s Peter Schiff discussion with Art Laffer (famous economist). They made a bet about the crisis - now we can see that Peter Schiff was right. And Art Laffer, who was simply laughing at Peter’s predictions, surely can’t feel very confident now.
