Who is the more 'ultimate contrarian indicator'....

Here's a tough one.

Who is the more ultimate contrarian indicator: Cramer for his stock market predictions or Jon Nadler for his Precious Metals forecasts?

My vote goes with Cramer.

Last time I seen Cramer on national TV talk show he was asked about gold as an investment his answer" Gold is a great investment now! I'm talking about gold coins, physical gold NOT paper gold stocks!"

Nadler can always be relied upon to badmouth gold in a backhanded way, not overtly but with an abundance of non-positives. Then he can always backtrack and say that he knew gold would go up eventually. I had to stop reading him because he has nothing to offer.

Cramer is much more entertaining and I like to watch his manic little self occasionally just for fun. He does offer some good insights on stock investing, but that's where it ends. He might advocate gold on occasion in order to maintain some credibility, but he will never advocate it to the extent that it becomes a *significant* investment or a significant portfolio weighting. He's always going to pump stocks. That's his shortcoming, period.

I don't think either one can be considered as any type of indicator, because both of them stay close to their agenda. I don't trust either of them to give me any clues.

I thought you were going to use CU posters as examples. That would spice it up a bit.

jiski52 summed it up concisely. If I interrupted his post correctly, he finds both somewhat enternaing but like me I'm asking neither, for road directions. Smoke and mirrors. Take care. JMO. jws.
