He already addressed those issues, including Mish. The dollar gained more than he thought but more importantly, Schiff's strategy is LONG TERM.
Some of his clients didn't do well in 2008, but that doesn't mean his LR strategy is flawed.
Fact of the matter is when everyone else thought the Bush economy was sound, Schiff was saying no it's not.
