I've spoken to Peter Schiff before on the telephone. He's a nice guy and whatnot, but when you dig deeper into his psyche, he is just a bit off. Kind of unfortunate, because he's a very sharp man. Probably comes from his father's situation.
I once spoke with one of his brokers in CT after gold tanked (this was right before they formed Europac Metals some years back). The dude sounded like he was literally in need of Prozac. And he was supposed to sell me. He couldn't give two F's.
