I like Peter Schiff.

I've enjoyed his pre-2008 rants on the real estate bubble and have taken great pleasure in seeing the other so called experts make fun of him only to be humbled themselves when everything crashed just as Schiff had predicted.

In 2004-06 Schiff said that the US dollar would crash and the rest of the world would not be affected like in the past. Get out of the Dollar and into the EUROZone. I moved a lot into gold and some into Euro stocks.

Well let's see, how's things in EuroLand?

In 2007 I bailed on Euro and moved into Aussie, best move.

Schiff is smart but not always right.

Six years later? not so good.

Schiff correctly called the rise in emerging markets, asia and europe - I profited from the call. He never said it would last forever.

The crashing dollar since 2004 is what made gold what it is today. His book "Crash Proof" was dead on. It advised gold when published and continues to hold water.

I didn't know that Stockman and Black had blogsites!

I also think that many posters here are on par with the best.

I just do what the voices in my head tell me to do.

I take a little bite from everyone's words on the PM forum and form a conservative/conservative-agressive way of doing things.

I try not to read too many columns as a lot of the guys are perma-bulls who never give you the 'other side' so to speak. The ones I listen to or will always read their musings the most are:

Lord Peter (How is this guy not on top of everyone's list?)
Jim Rogers
Gary Kaltbaum (decent stock picker with an entertaining 1 hour radio show that I enjoy on the way home)

The analysts that write articles are fine, but I like the guys that get results from the charts. Alot of the ones I used to pay attention to
have made some terrible calls since last summer. It doesn't leave a whole of people who I still have confidence in. A lot of former top
notch guys have imploded or the last 9 months or change their views so often you might as well be blind-folded and tossing darts instead.
You can have the best information in the world but that doesn't mean you can make any money with it. We all knew back in 2004 that the
financial system was heading towards a crash. But the varying degrees of how one profited from all that knowledge is huge. After 10 yrs
of reading articles it's sort of boring and often of little help. The charts often meld all that information into one place. Then comes the timing.

Rambus (whoever he is)

P. Radomski
Warren Bevan
Jeff Kern
QuadG and Godzilla from Kitco forums
and of course....Cohodk

Most of these guys add something unique that the others don't. Kern's 35 yr data base of gold movements and patterns is invaluable at times and so
are Hoye's in-depth reviews of 1970-2007 chart patterns vs. 2011-2012. Rambus and Xiphos do slick work achieving accurate price objectives using
Edward's and Magee's chart formations. They knock my socks off at times! They've taken TA to another level while almost never referencing EW theory.

One thing I see counter to a lot of logical arguments is an underestimation of the lengths that government officials will go to to cover up problems. No I don't think (necessarily) that these people are evil....they are in fact, predictable, but people like Meredith Whitney can be right on conditions, but very wrong on effects. Right now the government officials of my wonderful state of MD are meeting to take away mortgage interest deductions from people making more than $100k. Fortunately, or at least hopefully, big bribes are flowing from the National Association of Realtors to stop this...which may have been the whole point of the exercize...to draw in more bribes in an election year.

Very good point. Bill Gross was "right" on treasuries in early 2011. But what he didn't count on was the big banks adding $80 TRILL or so in otc interest rate contracts to ultimately
change the conditions and "prove" him wrong. Make any bet on the economy and QE/derivatives...or lack of them...can make you look silly.

i'm also a big fan of Martin Armstrong, but his time in prison has made him very verbose. he is bullish gold with restraint and has reasonable conclusions and predictions, IMHO.

We want Information!

Wow, impressive lists. I should give it some serious thought and read more of them.
Mostly for me, its been me. Sure I look at money magazine and have seen crammer on tv, etc.
Some of the biggest info on this forum and by talking to friends about how much they put into their 401,
stops, and limits, and small stuff like that.

However I went from 95k to 500k in 10 years so maybe you should listen to me.

I don't now & never have subscribed to any of the listed "celebrities," however, when Rick Santelli of CNBC speaks, I listen.

Does Hannes Tulving ever offer info/insight into the PM market?

Jim Rogers.

The most important lesson he has taught me is to always do my homework and only invest in things that I know a lot about.
