The Doomsayers: Peter Schiff

The Founder and President of EuroPacificCapital is fiercely bearish on the Dollar, owing to our huge debts. Schiff, who was an economic advisor to Ron Paul, is a student of Austrian Economics. He had a rough 2008, since his bets on Asia and against the dollar didn't pan out as he expected. He considers these positions to be "early" however, rather than wrong.

Doom factor: 90
