I’m finally reading the book that Schiff wrote “Crash Proof” in 2007. I bought it shortly after it came out and only got a third of the way through before it ended up in a box when I moved my office. I really wish I’d have read the whole thing back then and taken action…in hindsight he was right about so many things and I thought he was a nut job.

The thread throughout his book about the collapse of the dollar is something that I really think is coming sooner rather than later. An Australian friend of mine has been repeatedly telling me to get some or all of my money out of dollar denominated assets and at least open a bank account in AUS. Right now they are paying close to 5% on saving accounts. I’m getting about 0.6% from my credit union. The dollar was trading at 0.67 to the AUS dollar in March. Now it is up to about 0.87. That’s a HUGE decline in less than a year. I’d like to get some dollars into other currency before the floor drops out anymore.

I recently subscribed to his newsletter and was contacted by one of his associates in OC. I’d really like to move a bunch of my investments in my keogh that is held with fidelity over to EPC if it is doable but I’m not sure how to do so.

Anyone used them? Do they charge a flat rate for investment services? Per trade? Anyone have any info?

meadandale,

While Schiff has been right about a number of things, he has also been terribly wrong about some other things. From what I have heard, those who have invested with him through Euro Pacific Capital have had more losses than profits. Not that past performance is that good of an indicator of future performance. But look closely at this before moving money into any investment.

I use them. I recall1 month with a decent profit however the market was up and rising tides …as they say.
I have been meaning to check my statements to see how I’m doing now lately. I do not keep all my funds with one firm. I like to spread it around despite what any “financial advisor” may say to the contrary.
Make sure you have one of their managers service your acct. these people get too busy and some mistakes get made. But, unlike schwab they are small enough to correct them when possible – you gotta catch though.
schwab made a terrible mistake on my acct. could not get it corrected. then they made it hard to get my money out. I don’t like that.
Schiff was too early with his predictions of the falling dollar and some investors suffered.
It’s all gambling as far as I’m concerned.
