The outspoken economist, author and podcast host Peter Schiff has long been a lightning rod for debate. Known for his bold predictions and contrarian views, Schiff recently sat down with CEO.CA to discuss the U.S. economy, inflation and his ongoing criticism of Bitcoin. His perspective, as always, was sharp and unapologetically critical of current economic policies.

</ul>
The "Bubble Economy" Explained
Schiff argues that the U.S. economy has been in a bubble for decades. "What's been going on is that the government has been sustaining a bubble economy," Schiff stated. "It really took hold with Bush, reacting to the bursting of the dot-com bubble in 2001. Reckless policies have continued for over 20 years." According to Schiff, this pattern of debt-driven consumption has left the economy in an unsustainable state.
He elaborates that the Federal Reserve's monetary policies and unchecked fiscal deficits have propped up this bubble economy. "The whole economy is built on debt and consumption and it's going to implode because it's unsustainable," he said.

Why Bitcoin Doesn't Make the Cut
Schiff's skepticism toward Bitcoin remains firm. He <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/08/40318568/mark-cuban-says-to-get-rich-invest-10-of-savings-in-high-risk-investments-but-if-its-bitcoin-thr">dismisses the cryptocurrency as "fool's gold</a>," designed to mimic some of gold's monetary properties but lacking its intrinsic value.
"People think that I don't own Bitcoin because I don't understand it," Schiff quipped. "No, I understand it precisely. That's why I don't own it. It's the people who own it that don't understand it – that's why they own it."
Schiff criticizes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37513063/warren-buffett-says-he-wouldnt-pay-25-for-all-the-bitcoin-in-the-world-he-considers-crypto-rat-poiso">Bitcoin for being nothing more than a speculative asset</a>. "The only money made is by transferring wealth from new buyers to old sellers," he claimed, calling it a classic pyramid scheme.
When pressed on what would make him change his mind, Schiff replied, "If Bitcoin actually replaces fiat currencies as a unit of account and a medium of exchange – if I walk into a supermarket and everything is priced in Bitcoin–I'd admit I was wrong. But it's no closer to being money today than it was when it started."
Gold and Silver: The Safer Bet
Schiff remains a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/08/40290032/robert-kiyosaki-believes-the-dollars-days-are-numbered-china-and-japan-are-trading-bonds-for-gold-he">steadfast advocate for gold and silver</a>, seeing them as the ultimate hedge against inflation. He noted that central banks are already increasing their gold reserves, signaling confidence in its long-term value.
"Gold is approaching record highs, but silver is still a bargain at around $33 an ounce," he said. Schiff believes silver could see significant gains in the years ahead, particularly as retail investors return.
He also encouraged investors to consider mining stocks, which he likened to "the next crypto," offering high returns without the speculative risks of digital currencies.

What's Next for the U.S. Economy?
Schiff predicts that economic conditions will worsen before they improve, citing unsustainable debt levels and rising inflation. "It's going to get worse before it gets even worse," he said grimly, highlighting the government's inability to address underlying structural issues.
For those looking to safeguard their wealth, Schiff recommends diversifying portfolios into international stocks, emerging markets and commodities like energy and agriculture. His core message: get out of dollars and into tangible assets.
While Schiff's views often spark controversy, his arguments offer a sobering critique of the current economic landscape. Whether you agree or not, his warnings about inflation, unsustainable debt and speculative bubbles are worth considering. As Schiff says, "The key is to be <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/24/03/37513063/warren-buffett-says-he-wouldnt-pay-25-for-all-the-bitcoin-in-the-world-he-considers-crypto-rat-poiso">properly positioned before the collapse – </a>not after."

Peter Schiff Says Economic Bubble We're in Today Started 2 Decades Ago Under Bush – And 'It's Going To Get Worse Before It Gets Even Worse'

Alibaba Group Holding (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BABA#NYSE">BABA</a>) announced plans to consolidate its domestic and international e-commerce operations into a single unit called Alibaba E-commerce Business Group.
The newly created division will be led by Jiang Fan, the current head of Alibaba International Digital Commerce, who has been the group&#8217;s CEO. He will report directly to Alibaba CEO Eddie Wu Yongming, SCMP <a target="_blank" href="https://www.scmp.com/tech/big-tech/article/3287583/alibaba-merge-domestic-and-global-e-commerce-units-names-jiang-fan-ceo" rel="noreferrer noopener">reports</a>.

The reorganization marks Alibaba&#8217;s most significant structural overhaul since the company split its operations into six independent business units in 2023.
This move is seen as a strategic effort to streamline operations and improve synergies between domestic and international supply chains, particularly as the company faces intensifying competition from rivals such as PDD Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDD#NASDAQ">PDD</a>), which has aggressively expanded globally with its shopping app Temu.
Jiang&#8217;s leadership in the international division has already demonstrated significant growth.
Alibaba has been actively realigning its business strategy under CEO Eddie Wu, who took over leadership in 2023.
Recent initiatives include launching a digital marketing tool, Quanzhantui, and implementing technology service fees for Taobao and Tmall merchants. These measures aim to revitalize its domestic operations while maintaining its global expansion trajectory.
During the recently concluded Singles&#8217; Day shopping festival, Taobao and Tmall accounted for roughly 50% of sales across major platforms, while Douyin led growth with a 19% increase in gross merchandise value.
Alibaba&nbsp;reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/42006281/alibaba-q2-earnings-revenue-beats-forecast-cloud-and-international-sales-shine-free-cash-flow-falls-amid-strategic-investments" rel="noreferrer noopener">fiscal second-quarter 2024</a> revenue growth of 5% year-on-year to $33.70 billion, beating the analyst consensus of $33.47 billion.
Taobao and Tmall Group revenue grew by 1% to $14.11 billion. Alibaba International Digital Commerce Group revenue increased by 29% to $4.51 billion, driven by the growth of cross-border businesses.
Benchmark&#8217;s Fawne Jiang maintained a Buy rating on Alibaba with a price target of $118, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/11/42043480/alibabas-monetization-strategy-gains-momentum-but-gmv-growth-lags-analyst" rel="noreferrer noopener">citing mixed earnings performance</a>.
While customer management revenue grew 2.5% YoY, sluggish GMV growth and increased investments in Taobao and Tmall raise concerns over market share retention. The analyst expects improved monetization from software service fees and expanded Quanzhantui marketing use in upcoming quarters, aiding profitability. Fiscal 2025 revenue and EBITDA estimates were slightly reduced due to margin pressures but reflect confidence in the gradual recovery and user acquisition.
Price Action:&nbsp;BABA stock is down 0.99% at $85.91 at&nbsp;the last check on Thursday.

Fed's Goolsbee Says Neutral Is A Long Way Below Where Rates Are Now; Feels Like We Are Headed To 2% Inflation

Goldman Sachs analyst Brooke Roach reiterated the Buy rating on TJX Companies, Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TJX#NYSE">TJX</a>) <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TJX/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">with a price forecast of $137.</a>
Yesterday, the company reported third-quarter earnings per share of $1.14 (+11%), <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/11/42088621/tjx-companies-beats-q3-earnings-stock-dips-on-dim-q4-outlook" rel="noreferrer noopener">beating the street view of $1.09</a>. Quarterly sales of $14.06 billion (+6%) beat the analyst consensus estimate of $13.95 billion.
TJX Companies reported a 3% increase in consolidated comparable store sales at the high end of the company&#8217;s plan, driven entirely by higher customer transactions.
Roach remains optimistic after the quarter, maintaining a &#8220;constructive view.&#8221;
The analyst is encouraged by TJX&#8217;s continued momentum in transaction-driven comparable sales across its various brands, as well as its strong execution in both new and existing categories.
Additionally, there is a promising long-term growth potential for TJX on a global scale.

The analyst sees further opportunities for the company to gain market share and expand margins, benefiting from stronger vendor relationships and improved merchandise margins. This positions TJX well to navigate short-term industry challenges, such as tariffs and freight costs, Roach adds.
The analyst noted that while there have been choppy trends across various sub-sectors of consumer discretionary during the third-quarter earnings season, Roach is particularly encouraged by TJX&#8217;s strong messaging regarding the home sector and early fourth-quarter growth momentum.
However, the analyst also pointed out that unseasonable weather and the impacts of hurricanes are expected to remain key topics as companies continue reporting quarterly results, with a particular focus on early holiday selling trends for off-price and department store competitors.
Price Action: TJX shares are trading lower by 0.29% to $119.47 at last check Thursday.

TJX Positioned For Market Share Gains: Analyst Notes Momentum In Sales And Margin Expansion

Luminar Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LAZR#NASDAQ">LAZR</a>) shares are trading lower Thursday. The lidar company&#8217;s stock began trading on a split-adjusted basis. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/LAZR/news">what you need to know.</a>
What To Know: Luminar shareholders voted to approve a proposal regarding a reverse stock split at the end of October. On Nov. 13, Luminar&#8217;s board approved the reverse split at a ratio of 1-for-15. The split went into effect after the market close on Wednesday.
The reverse stock split was authorized by the company's board as part of a larger strategy to improve the company&#8217;s stock price and potentially attract more institutional investors. The adjusted shares began trading Thursday under the same ticker symbol: &#8220;LAZR.&#8221;
In addition to the reverse stock split, Luminar recently announced that it appointed Dominick Schiano as a new member of its board. Schiano, known for his experience in the automotive industry and as a dealmaker, is expected to contribute valuable strategic insights to the company. He will also join Luminar&#8217;s Audit Committee.
Luminar provided a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/11/41888873/luminar-technologies-stock-is-rising-after-hours-whats-driving-the-action">business update</a> for the third quarter earlier this month. The lidar company said it shipped more product in the third quarter than it did in the past three quarters combined.
"Today nearly every major automaker has LiDAR planned into their roadmaps, and our commercial growth this quarter is a testament to both our technical leadership and ability to execute to global automaker standards," Luminar founder and CEO Austin Russell said in the company&#8217;s earnings release.
"This quarter, we've further restructured Luminar to withstand near-term headwinds facing the industry so we are better positioned to capitalize on the long-term value in this trillion-dollar industry."
LAZR Price Action: Luminar Technologies shares were down 6.24% at $10.68 at the time of publication Thursday, according to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro.</a>

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) head of vaccine safety says that President-elect Donald Trump's embrace of vaccine skeptics could be an opportunity for the science community to teach the public about the value of these life-saving drugs. However, if these efforts fail it could lead to "natural consequences."
The FDA's Peter Marks made the remarks Thursday at the Jefferies London Healthcare Conference. Marks is the current director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research (CBER) at the FDA. The center ensures the safety and effectiveness of biological products, including vaccines.
Marks said now is the chance for scientists to make the case for vaccines, as Trump has named noted anti-vaccine crusader Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as his pick to be the next Secretary of Health and Human Services.
Bloomberg is also reporting that Trump is likely to pick surgeon and public health researcher Marty Makary as the next head of the FDA. Previously, Makary has criticized the agency's approval of COVID-19 booster vaccines. Additionally, he has written several op-eds on the pandemic including one claiming that the U.S. would achieve <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/well-have-herd-immunity-by-april-11613669731">herd immunity by April 2021 </a>and a more recent one arguing that vaccines shouldn't be <a href="https://www.wsj.com/articles/biden-waves-another-covid-shot-through-fda-human-outcomes-data-195731c0">recommended universally</a> for lower-risk patients.
Marks said that if public health officials fail to make the case for vaccines there will be consequences.
"If that doesn't work, and everything runs wild in the opposite direction, just as your kids learn natural consequences — if you put your hand on a hot oven, you will get burned, et cetera, that kind of thing — the American public will learn the natural consequences of what happens if vaccination rates fall too far, because we will start to see measles, polio, things that we should never see in a well-developed country, come back," said Marks, who was speaking virtually at the conference, <a href="https://www.statnews.com/2024/11/21/peter-marks-fda-rfk-jr-vaccine-safety/">STAT reported</a>.
Marks said he expects a vigorous debate on COVID-19 vaccines and pediatric vaccines but hopes a "degree of moderation will prevail" on the topic of vaccines overall.

Summit Materials shares are trading higher following a repot suggesting Quikrete is in talks to acquire the company.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy are targeting lowering government spending with the newly announced Department of Government Efficiency (or D.O.G.E. for short). An aircraft component company is named as the perfect place for the duo to start in a new short report from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/the-bear-cave">The Bear Cave.</a>
What Happened: President-elect Donald Trump<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/global/24/11/41927289/trump-appoints-elon-musk-and-vivek-ramaswamy-to-lead-doge-targeting-bureaucracy-and-65-trillion-federal-spending-we-will-not-go-gently"> announced the Department of Government Efficiency</a> recently and Musk said the new department will "send shockwaves through the system, and involve anyone involved in government waste."
A short <a href="https://thebearcave.substack.com/p/problems-at-transdigm-tdg">report </a>from The Bear Cave author Edwin Dorsey suggests the D.O.G.E. should start with aircraft component company TransDigm (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TDG#NYSE">TDG</a>), which has a market capitalization of $72 billion.
The short report alleges TransDigm has used acquisitions to become the sole producer of some aircraft parts and in return raised prices for customers, which includes the Department of Defense.
Benzinga reached out to TransDigm for comment and did not hear back at publication.
"Prices for TransDigm parts have increased 40%+ per year for decades and the company has faced numerous allegations of price gouging the U.S. government as well as allegations of accounting fraud," Dorsey writes.
Dorsey said hints from Musk and Ramaswamy suggest looking at government waste at the Pentagon.
"The Bear Cave also believes this will change under the incoming Trump Administration and that TransDigm should be target #1 for the Department of Government Efficiency."
Musk recently took notice of a tweet from Donald Trump Jr. that highlighted Boeing allegedly overcharging the Air Force, Dorsey added.
Ramaswamy suggested that large-scale audits at government agencies like the Pentagon could yield "significant savings."
In the short report, Dorsey highlights past looks into TransDigm by Congress.

TransDigm's Past History: The short report highlights a 2022 House Oversight Hearing on TransDigm.
"TransDigm manufactures a product called the linear actuating cap, which was used in the Eagle F-15 and C-125 transport aircraft. According to TransDigm, the part only cost $189 to make, but the company charged the Defense Department over $7,000," House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney (D-N.Y.) said at the time.
Maloney used a graphic to illustrate the markups in aircraft parts for the Department of Defense by TransDigm, the short report added.
The short report also highlighted a 2019 hearing about TransDigm which saw Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) accuse the company of acquiring other suppliers so it can raise prices for existing customers.
"You purchased a company that made a part for $5,500, solenoid, and then after you bought it the price went up to $11,790. The part only cost $3,000. So what is the additional value when you're purchasing this and raising the price?" Khanna previously asked.
While past congressional hearings didn't find TransDigm broke the law, past concerns over price gouging could put the company on the radar of Musk and Ramaswamy as the short report said.
The defense market makes up around 40% of TransDigm's revenue, with the Department of Defense a portion of that total, the report said.
TDG Price Action: TransDigm Group stock is down 3.09% to $1,253.06 Thursday versus a 52-week trading range of $949.99 to $1,451.32. TransDigm stock is up 30% year-to-date in 2024.

President-elect Donald Trump&#8216;s pick for attorney general in his second administration, former U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, withdrew his name from consideration on Thursday. The Florida Republican who was poised to be nominated as the nation&#8217;s top cop has previously been in the legal crosshairs himself in multiple <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/legal/24/11/42078192/trumps-attorney-general-pick-matt-gaetz-resigned-from-congress-ethics-committee-to-decide-if-report-will-be-released">sex trafficking investigations</a>.
Gaetz Bows Out: Gaetz announced the decision in a Thursday <a href="https://x.com/mattgaetz/status/1859649045553402285">post</a> on X.
&#8220;I had excellent meetings with Senators yesterday. I appreciate their thoughtful feedback &#8211; and the incredible support of so many. While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,&#8221; Gaetz posted.
&#8220;There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I&#8217;ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump&#8217;s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1,&#8221; he continued.
Earlier Developments: Gaetz, who resigned from Congress Nov. 13 following Trump&#8217;s announcement, had previously been under federal and congressional investigation.
The New York Times <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/20/us/politics/matt-gaetz-venmo-payments-sex.html">obtained</a> a redacted document from the federal investigation, which was later dropped, on Wednesday.
The document includes a map created by investigators alleging that Gaetz sent thousands of dollars to women and associate Joel Greenberg, who previously pleaded guilty to sex trafficking charges, on Venmo. According to testimony, the individuals who received the money were involved in &#8220;sex parties&#8221; from 2017 to 2020. Gaetz also allegedly paid $450 to a 17-year-old.
ABC News <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/US/gaetz-10k-venmo-payments-2-women-testified-house/story?id=116019367">obtained</a> a document from the House Ethics Committee with similar findings on Wednesday.
The separate investigation found that Gaetz sent over $10,000 on Venmo to women who testified in the House probe. Transactions included Gaetz&#8217;s notes for the women, including &#8220;being my friend,&#8221; &#8220;extra 4 u&#8221; and &#8220;being awesome.&#8221; These transactions totaled over $1,000, the report said. 
The House investigation ended when Gaetz resigned.
Why it Matters: Gaetz faced a tough path to confirmation in a Republican-controlled Senate. The Republican party will hold a 53-47 majority come January. Still, only four GOP defections — perhaps Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Thom Tillis (R-NC) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) — would have sunk Gaetz&#8217;s nomination.
It is now unclear who Trump will select to fill the AG role. Traders on prediction market <a href="https://polymarket.com/event/who-will-be-trumps-attorney-general">Polymarket</a> quickly reacted to Gaetz&#8217;s announcement. Trump&#8217;s pick for deputy AG, Todd Blanche, is the betting favorite.
Blanche represented Trump during a trial in New York state, during which the former president was found guilty of felony falsification of business records.
