LJ...Oldman is one of the most accurate and respected investors posting on Kitco...the man is uncanny with his insights and he is pretty accurate in his often contrary viewpoints.

Little Joe - The only reason I posted that link is because the author of those comments has long been one of the most rational, reasonable, coherent, and considerate individuals to post at Kitco, for which some in the past have despised him.. If my memory serves me correctly, he is also a former private business person who at one time employed more than 200 people, and sold to a larger company when it became obvious that he would no longer be able to compete going forward without moving offshore. I remember him once posting that he found a great deal of irony in the fact that he had made more money being long in the stock market for 3 years than in all his years as a business person and employer. He also has avoided gold throughout the bear market, and has bought the dips in the broader market, stating some time ago that he would continue doing so until he is proven wrong, which he eventually will be: once at the bottom and once at the top. Of course, there are many who would rather consider the ramblings of ANOTHER, in whose posts one can find nothing that is original and little that is even coherent. This unfortunate individual, who claims to be Oriental, but possesses no idiom other than that of an American or Canadian boomer raised in front of a TV set, has been wrong, wrong, and way wrong, again and again. And despite what some have suggested, he has never demonstrated any knowledge of the markets beyond what may be acquired by browsing Kitco for a year. And he certainly hasn't demonstrated the smallest fraction of what one would expect of someone residing in the towers of international finance, much less even that of a 28 yr old junior find manager's second assistant. But to each his own. Live long and prosper. Tom
