Global Strategist
Peter is one of the few
investment advisors to have
correctly called the current
bear market before it began
and to have positioned his
clients accordingly. As
a result of his accurate
forecasts of the mortgage
meltdown, credit crunch,
and decoupling of commodities,
precious metals, and foreign
markets from the U.S. dollar,
he has become a sought-after
economic commentator on
a range of investment topics.
Peter delivers lectures
at major economic and investment
conferences, and is quoted
often in the print media,
including the Wall Street
Journal, New York Times,
L.A. Times, Barron’s,
BusinessWeek, Time and Fortune.
His broadcast credits include
regular guest appearances
on CNBC, Fox Business, CNN,
MSNBC, and Fox News Channel,
as well as hosting a weekly
radio show. As an author,
he has written four bestselling
books, including his latest:
" Crash Proof 2.0:
How to Profit from the Economic
Collapse" and "How
an Economy Grows and Why
It Crashes".
