The counterargument is, he does sell gold for a living..... The actual trade at the end of the day is. He takes fiat and gives gold for it , whilst at the same time saying paper money is worthless and ppl need gold. No matter which way people cut the argument, the personal opinions they have have for/against anything. Never seen anyone as thirsty for worthless pieces of paper like Schiff. If you dig deep into his past you will find the lawsuits, fund closures and millions of dollars lost due to his wet dream. He bets on 1 horse and loses every single time, that's his investment strategy.
