Today’s news carries the warning that China’s central bank would like to dump the dollar.

Let’s see whether Kudlow picks up on the importance of that. I’m guessing he won’t, not until Schiff rubs his nose in it.

Or if he does, he’ll opine that to dump the dollar would be an act of war.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they claim they invented the idea (and steal it from you) and were right all along – e.g. your ideas “win” but the idiots steal the credit and the research money.”

Deserves repeating early and often. Thanks for another jewel, Myron.

There is a famous Mohandas Gandhi quote: “First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” This has happened to me several times in my career as a research physicist that I can amend it to: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they claim they invented the idea (and steal it from you) and were right all along – e.g. your ideas “win” but the idiots steal the credit and the research money. Perhaps someday, all the so-called Republikeynsian conservatives who ridiculed Peter Schiff, Ilana Mercer, and Ron Paul (THAT AMERICA-HATING NUT!!) will claim that they were for the Constitution all along!

Kudlow is a hack. He lives in a bubble, one in which stocks are always going up. Buy buy buy! Take his advice and you might as well say Bye to your portfolio, or at least what’s left of it after the Fed gets done debasing the currency.

Like Ron Paul in the political arena, Peter Schiff in the financial world was mocked and laughed at for predicting an asset bubble was about to pop. Who is laughing now?
