Frank Barbera is one of the best out there to combine fundamentals and technicals in the market and economy. I followed him for a number of years when he was on our local business channel (which had much higher ratings than cnbc) until they unfortunately decided to move from tvland to the web. The ad market got them and they are no longer on the air or the web. It was really too bad, because the business channel was really high quality (if you ignored the ads for commodity traders) and had been on since the 60's. He successfully called for a nice bull move into the summer of 1998, but was calling for a top in July 1998, many months ahead of time. He talked about the Thai Bhat being a problem for the global economy when it first appeared and no one else thought it was worth mentioning. He correctly said that the Thai Bhat would lead Asia down and that would effect our market. In 1999, he correctly was calling for a great economy into 2000 with a MAJOR long term top in the market in 2000 and a recession in 2001. I think he based it on economic biz cycles if I recall. (I doubt he called for a mania move though). No one is perfect, and no one can call tops and bottoms 100% of the time, but Frank was really a great person for bringing a reason to WHY stocks and indexes were doing what they were doing and what to look for on a global basis. Economies aren't static and if things improve, I think he'd change his stance. As far as gold...... I don't know. This guy made a mint on gold and has followed it for years. If he's turned bullish on it longer term, I'd say it's sure worth listening to. If cnbc wanted to ramp up their ratings, they'd hire this guy. I think he went to work for a hedge fund. TA
