In 1996, he and a partner started Euro Pacific Capital in Los Angeles, later moving the headquarters to Connecticut. The firm has since expanded, with offices in Scottsdale, Arizona, Boca Raton, Florida, Newport Beach, California, Los Angeles, and New York City. Euro Pacific Capital’s investment strategy focuses on long-term wealth savings in the face of a declining US dollar with an emphasis on emerging market and commodity-focused investments.Peter is best known for accurately forecasting the 2008 financial crisis. During a Fox News debate in December 2006, Schiff said, “What’s going to happen in 2007 is that real estate prices are going to come crashing back down to Earth.” Business news journals reported that Schiff accurately predicted the crisis, while “nearly all [macroeconomists] failed to foresee the recession despite plenty of warning signs.”Peter has also worked in the political arena, first serving as an economic advisor for Ron Paul’s 2008 presidential campaign and later running for United States Senate in Connecticut in 2010 as a Republican. Politically, he leans Libertarian, with an emphasis on fiscal conservatism.Peter started SchiffGold in 2010 after recommending for decades that investors allocate 10-20% of their portfolios to physical precious metals. Peter became concerned that some of his Euro Pacific Capital clients were being misled into purchasing overpriced “numismatic” gold and silver products from gold dealers with unsavory business practices. Peter started SchiffGold to provide a trustworthy alternative that would sell only the most liquid physical bullion products at the lowest possible prices. SchiffGold is backed by Peter Schiff’s Guarantee that it will only sell the most liquid physical bullion products at the lowest possible prices.Peter’s expertise on money, economic theory, and international investing makes him a highly sought after as a speaker and analyst. He has been quoted and interviewed hundreds of times by media outlets around the world, including The Wall Street Journal, Barron’s, Die Zeit, Tokyo Shinbun, South China Morning Post, Investor’s Business Daily, The Financial Times, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and The Washington Post. He regularly appears on CNBC, CNN, CBC, Al Jazeera, Fox News, and Fox Business Network.Peter Schiff - YouTube - @peterschiff X - https://x.com/peterschiffSchiff Gold - https://www.schiffgold.com/Euro Pacific Asset Management - https://europac.com/WTFinance - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas

Interview recorded - 30th of September, 2026On this episode of the WTFinance podcast I had the pleasure of welcoming on Lobo Tiggre. Lobo is the founder of the Independent Speculator. During our conversation we spoke about the current situation in the economy, why inflation data can't be trusted, mining investing, FED losing control, commodity outlook and more. I hope you enjoy!0:00 - Introduction1:48 - Overview of the economy and markets3:55 - Inflation data8:21 - Surprised about precious metals drop13:55 - Mine investing19:24 - FED lost control of bond market?26:00 - Economic strength?29:28 - Commodity outlook34:53 - Copper39:53 - One message to takeawayLobo Tiggre is the founder, CEO, and principal analyst and editor of Louis James, LLC. He researched and recommended speculative opportunities in Casey Research publications from 2004 to 2018, writing under the name “Louis James” for privacy reasons. While at Casey Research, he learned about the newsletter business from Casey co-founder David Galland, and resource speculation from the legendary speculator Doug Casey himself.Although frequently mistaken for one, Mr. Tiggre is not a professional geologist. Nor does he hold the CFA designation, and he is not a licensed financial advisor. Tiggre is a speculator who, during his time with Doug Casey, also learned from many other industry leaders, including Sprott-Global’s Rick Rule, former newsletter writer Bob Bishop, fellow newsletter writer and geologist Brent Cook, exploration geologist and multiple mine-finder Ron Parratt, and many others.This resulted in a track record of winning recommendations outpacing losers by a wide margin, resulting in extraordinary overall gains. Due to copyright issues, we cannot reproduce or document that track record. However, the average of the yearly gains published by Casey Research for their flagship publication, the International Speculator, was 18.5% per year during Tiggre’s time with the publication. A fully transparent, documented, and verifiable track record is a central feature of Louis James LLC services.Prior to his work at Casey Research, Mr. Tiggre was a writer and publisher involved in numerous ventures. In 1998, he published his first novel, Y2K: The Millennium Bug. In 2012, he co-authored Doug Casey’s first book in almost two decades, Totally Incorrect. This was followed by another book co-authored with Doug Casey in 2014, Right on the Money. Tiggre has plans for several new books going forward, both fiction and non-fiction.Mr. Tiggre is a graduate of Aiglon College in Chesières-Villars, Switzerland. His formal education included studies in physics at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He also studied economics at UNC Chapel Hill, and wrapped up with a magna cum laude BA in sociology from Duke university.Tiggre grew up speaking both Spanish and English. He later learned French, German, and is now working on Russian. He is happily married with five children. He lives in San Juan, Puerto Rico.Lobo Tiggre - Website - https://independentspeculator.com/X - https://x.com/duediligenceguyWTFinance - Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/wtfinancee/Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/67rpmjG92PNBW0doLyPvfniTunes - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtfinance/id1554934665?uo=4Twitter - https://twitter.com/AnthonyFatseas
