Schiff’s had some very bad calls over the last couple of years. Decoupling is one huge one that comes to mind right away.
MSM likes him because he’s somewhat contrarian and a little famous. So they’d bring him on to laugh at.
But if you closely analyze his work, it’s superficial in many ways. Very little depth, historical comparisions or mathmatical analysis and reference to global markets and consumption/production depth.
He’s mostly a mouth-piece.
He did come out early on MSM with housing and economic peril in the US. But MSM has been a joke for many years now. The blogospere was making far deeper analysis at this time when Shciff was on MSM warning the general public.
