I fail to comprehend turning on Zeev's minute detail
he is a very bright guy who insists on attempting to call very shorterm movements
his strengths of intelligence would seem to be better served in determining the more clear changes in trend and less on hourly opportunities

he may make gobs of profits
but dozens have wasted their lives in such pursuits
does anyone keep track of his record on calls?
50-50?
it seems so many are grasping for lunar based cycles, for seers
I have found his shorterm calls deadly to attempt

I know of dozens of people who drool to hear his recent calls
I dont get it
his views on gold are extremely conventional and from the demonetized camp
he may be brilliant, but he is in opposition to Jim Grant
our conversations leave me with a feeling that I have been talking to a stuffy old british supercilious professor
how could I have made a solid argument if it exceeded one full page? ... he said to me
how could he state high respect for the management of the USdollar currency? ... I said to him

give me a break, really stuffy bullshit style
he is totally "inside the box" if you ask me
and spends way too much time trying to seize a half point
there is more to life

he claimed to have taught in college and published in economics
so have I, but in statistics
big deal
was I to bow in homage?
if anything, having published in conventional economics nowadays should be regarded as an extreme impediment to understand today's macro problems !!!
Samuelson has published also, and doesnt have an effing clue

let him have his thread and his following
they might make some money
he has a very generous spirit, to be sure
his daily life seems like a nightmare
