    Schiff's latest prediction: depression, riots and end of economy

    I'm thinking the same thing. BTW, he has no margin and he decided that based on it being too risky. He got a lot right, but this massive deleveraging / deflation he glosses over completely. He keeps repeating 'it doesn't matter' , 'what matters is the end game', etc. His solution all this...

    Bank withdrawals & Cash hoarding

    I also thought that currency would be worthless, but I'm not convinced now. Consider the case of a temporary freeze, where the general public is shell shocked that electronic banking no longer works. People will fall back to something familiar. Everyone has at least been brought up with using...

    Hedge Fund Redemptions

    My understanding was that not all hedge funds had that option. What percentage can suspend and/or throttle redemptions?

    Hedge Fund Redemptions

    Which Hedgefunds are going out of business? SAC, citadel, TCI,and etc?

    Yeah, that's the man to watch out for. I could be wrong, but what I've read there is a meritocracy there and very little group-think. So consider: 1. large head start against other quant funds (aren't they the first?). Compounding of strategies and knowledge. 2. large group of bright minds...
