What is your source of information? Do you have documentation or was this just an internet rumor?

If it's on the Interwebz it must be true!

Sinclair & Swami?

Yes, that is the swami. I saw the following videos of Sinclair talking about his high regard for the swami, how he walks through walls, telepathy, etc.

Scary PM guru

edit to note that Sai Baba is just about the least controversial swami out there, so i'm not sure what the OP meant. unless it was just a 'foreign religion'='scary and dangerous' jab..
As far as I know, Sinclair runs a company and pays his taxes. What he personally believes is fine with me, and I'm not one to infer bad judgment on gold or finance even if he has a warm fuzzy for a swami. I would trust Sinclair's information and judgment before I'd ever trust any of the charlatans running the Fed, the Congress, the Executive Branch, DHS, DoJ, HEW, IRS, CIA, IMF, or FASB - to name a few. And you're concerned over a swami? lol.

There threads pop up on occasion as people struggle with making their own decisions and try to defrock others that have the necessary huevos.

Agree. It's not relevant as to the value or accuracy of his prognostications.

Maybe he should switch to a different Swami for his crystal ball gazing forecasts. As of late, his current one has been 100% wrong.

I've done a fair bit of coin/bullion business with a gentleman who has what I would assume is a foot/women's shoe fetish. At one point he had side by side listings for coins and leather women's shoes where he described them in such words as "yummy". It's a completely different circle in his life. Personally, I find feet disgusting and will never understand it. But I have absolutely no problem with it as it pertains to our coin dealings because it doesn't influence it at all. I'd lump Sinclair and his swami into this category. Same goes for the example derryb gave.
I'd rather take financial advice from people with unrelated quirks in their life, then those who, for example, buy lottery tickets.
<< <i>I have to laugh. The whole purpose of this thread is to cast aspersions at Sinclair. Anyone is free to read Sinclair or not, and to take what he says at face value or not. You can ascribe ulterior motives to his blogs, or not. If you blindly do everything that ANY financial advisor suggests, without doing your own critical thinking then you deserve everything you get.

I created this thread because I saw the Sinclair swami videos and thought they were bizarre. I merely wanted to know if this swami nonsense was widely known, and if Sinclair was well regarded despite the nonsense. Apparently the answer is no, since several people in this thread tried to suggest I was spreading an unsubstantiated rumor until I posted links to the Sinclair videos.
I'm sure Sinclair knows more about the gold market than I ever will; however, until a few days ago I did not realize that he was a kook. Personally, I discount the claims and question the judgment of kooks.
Your strawman about preferring Sinclair to government entities doesn't make Sinclair any less of a kook.

I took a cursory look at both videos and I see a lucid, thoughtful Sinclair who is recounting his experiences with a swami back in the 1950's when he was searching for some answers. In the late 1950's, Sinclair was probably in his mid to late 20s. I think that most people have a period in their lives when they do the same thing. I don't see any bizzare behavior or strange ideas being discussed, but maybe I missed something, so I'll have to look at both videos in their entirety.
The strawman is to point at Sinclair as a weirdo, when there appears to be no manifestation of him doing or saying anything bizzare. The video is probably about 20 years old, nevertheless I see a fairly gentle soul who seems to have genuine concern for others and isn't ranting or spouting off about anything wierd, unless contemplating a deity is now considered bizzare.
I don't see your point. I don't see a kook. What statements did Sinclair actually make that would indicate that he might be mentally-unbalanced? All I see is Jim Sinclair, talking calmly and thoughtfully to an interviewer who happens to be from another culture. But I do thank you for the links, and I'll probably watch them.
