Alan!!!!!! Altho' Ken does NOT need my defense, he is telling the truth. I was one of the ones he told after he sold, who urged me repeatedly to cash out near the top, and to not get greedy.
I listened and rode BXM from $108 which was my entry point to just under $223--- and those are USA bucks---not those loonie Canada bucks!
Ken hangs around on the GPM thread for the same reason a lot of us do...we have friends here, (and enemies<grin>) especially from the old Prodigy Days when we first learned of Bre-X from an asshole, Shawn something...
...and we oldtimers, NOT UNLIKE YOURSELF, ALAN,
like to keep our finger on the pulse of the occasional gold stock gem that comes riding through the GATA smuck/gunk, and the nattering naaboobs of optimisim that smell a breakout every 3rd goat entrail entry on this
thread.
While he and I differ on using gold as money which is my experience,
and while he's never bought my book, nor peeked between its covers...
while I've got him beat on the rate of return of my gold recycling at LESS than $20 per oz gold cost and selling it consistently at today's prices and higher, and his BXM ROR between his $6 entry point and his $225 sell...
and while I'm CONVINCED the gold is still in Busang and I don't believe he shares that belief
at least not to my knowledge,
he and I certainly still see eye to eye on various golden matters, including current POG trading range, why it's there and the dubiousness of it being any different anytime soon. You'd be amazed at the extent of
Ken's overseas gold contacts, their titles et al...and his posts are NOT to be taken lightly, altho' his joy at poking
the needle in the hotair balloons of others ranges from comical to painful to watch on occasion.
And I, for one, am EXTREMELY grateful he stayed on my case when we BXM holders started to
get behind the ABX/Monk shennigans stories and check with each other, and take a different tack on the story. I still owe him and his lovely wife a steak dinner for the mistake he saved me from making, by holding on too long.
THANKS,
.......AGAIN,
..............PUBLICALLY, Ken Benes!
