CORRECTION: I don't know for a fact that Jason Hommel is a charlatan. I do, however, very strongly believe that he is a charlatan.

Ouch... Lighten up folks. The thesis is physical silver shortage. I have seen several references to this recently and thought this jokers comments were timely. Sorry for mentioning it. Maybe y'all can explain why the price of silver is in the shitter and there is none to buy?

At least Hommel didn't lie about La Providencia. At least he didn't lie about Crystallex. At least he thinks he stands for something even if he is young and maybe a bit naive. I know him a bit and don't get the feeling he is a charlatan at all but really needs to find some tact in his life. He may be a hypocrite but not a charlatan. He has confronted all the big players, mints, govts and whoever else he can and risked lawsuits to stand up for what he believes in no matter if it is misguided or not. What do YOU stand for? Give the guy some respect for what he is trying to do to expose the crooked world of Comex and the CFTC. Many people are trying their best for YOU and ME trying to unravel the tangled web of crooks on Wall Street that defraud US every day. Do I suppose you don't like Bill Murphy, Jim Sinclair, Ted Butler and a host of others that have tried to expose the criminals that run the paper metals markets? You want a charlatan? You need look no further than some who have established themselves as gurus on certain threads here who have absolutely NO economic background yet make one line pronouncements about the commodities bull being over, oil going to 70.00, gold going down under 700.00, the USD being king again or the rise in gold the day before yesterday being a "dead dog bounce" and then hides behind statements like...well everyone has an opinion right or wrong. What am I saying? Sure Jason sets himself up as a target and people who live in glass houses love to throw stones at him. At least hes on OUR side unlike clowns like Paul van Eeden and Kitcos Jon Nadler or lately Marc Faber who flip flops like a politician.

Had to look up 'charlatan', dictionary says it's derived way back partly from Cerreto, name of a village in Italy ... combined with the verb ciarlare, 'to chatter' ... interesting, heard the word many times without knowing exactly where it came from ... seems to fit, being a subjective judgment and getting thirteen recos so far, looks like he's voted in The herd effect of NLWs will do damage no matter how honourable the writer, and proportionate to his following - the better he gets at calls, and the better the reputation, the more listen to his advice and the more powerful becomes the herd effect, can't be avoided, a newly recommended stock will be run more than it otherwise would ... meanwhile previous recommendations of the same NLW will sell off as followers raise cash to get into the new one ... and if/when he de-recommends one, look out, you don't want to get caught in the stampede ... speaking of which - has Claude put out a sell on osu.to/epm.to? ... i should ask him, hmmm, my thirty days on the common was up a while ago, already started back in, think this Kurzin should be able to turn it around With dmm.to, and probably cpq.v as well, this is likely a factor
