nspolar, thanks for that. I was starting to lose heart on DROOY after seeing this on mineweb: mineweb.net But the post you linked to and this follow on post by the same guy have cheered me up: investorshub.com This fellow is apparently Don Wolanchuk who for a couple of years now (at least) has been calling for a "worldwide inflationary boom of unparalled proportions" which would translate into a boom for BOTH gold and the stock market. If I am not mistaken he was saying this even in the midst of the post 9/11 gloom when he was a lone voice for this scenario. Here are some old posts I saved from GE forum: 12/28/03: DON WOLANCHUK-was the lone mega-bull on stocks in the 90s who had-each year-"lunatic" targets for the DOW that came true-he has also been a steadfast gold super-bull-He is the only person in the world whose "grand theme" of an inflationary world boom called for gold AND stocks to have simultaneous monster bull mkts. Don Said recently: "the coming world wide explosion in democracy and free enterprise is in the early stages of being discounted by gold the canadian buck ...the US equity market etc etc....the inflationary world wide economic boom of unparalled proportions will see the naz well above 20k and the dow well above 40 k...16 k in the dow will be reached in a matter of months....the canada buck is headed to above par....gold to 2000......so it is written ...so it shall be....the long suffering bears who fought the bull of the90.s will now get religion and a really true bubble mania where this time bears will not exist is dead ahead......to believe otherwise is to admit that independent thinking is not part of your makeup...." (richard640) 5/26/04: Official announcement: The Wolanchukian "World Inflationary Boom of Unparraleled Proportions" is back on track! - Don Wolanchuk was the lone prophet in the wilderness back in the late 1980s who called for the capitulation of communism and the recognition of capitalism--he alone said commodities--specifically gold he mentioned--AND stocks would enjoy monster bull mkts SIMULTANEOUSLY-[anyway that's the theory--heh! heh!--and I'm sticking to it--snicker!]--This panegyric to the world boom was wriiten by a forum member and friend and sent to me as an e-mail-it is a dramatic presentation. HE WRITES: I want to continue to pound the table on this issue. This World Boom is so big, so huge, so massive - we CANNOT see how big this phenomena is, nor envision how long it will last because it's still embryonic. This World Boom is a huge organic monster that is growing and c-a-n-n-o-t b-e s-t-o-p-p-e-d . This is economic life that has escaped and bolted for freedom. We're talking probably a Billion Young People between China and India, and growing fast - not to mention maybe 300 million unaccounted for children. OK, don't want to scare anyone, but let's just call it...A BILLION TEENAGERS! Just think what happened the last time we had a billion teenagers. Oh, that's right, this world has never seen a billion teenagers before. Most brains just don't have enough RAM or MHZ to envision how big and dynamic this really is. There will be pull backs, but the pull backs will be healthy and this monster will continue to grow and develop. The pull backs will be more of a regrouping for another assault. Some of the problems we're now concerned with - wringing our hands over - will pale and fade into the sunset like Alan Ladd in Shane.
