Curious what the health experts(?) on the board think regarding fish oil. There seems to be conflicting studies out there with results ranging from beneficial to detrimental. I have taken fish oil off an on much of my life, but I consider myself rather healthy in the first place, so whether...

Silver doesn't make me feel any more comfy than does copper, lead or zinc. Gold on the other hand....

Considering the government is the only entity that can force me to do anything, the only thing anti-trust laws should regulate is the government.

I agree, I wouldn't invest with Schiff, but I do agree with most of his ideas.

Yes, bubbles and the popping of bubbles may overshoot. Yes, some "good" business may go down, but obviously the least efficient ones and the ones who are not profitable will go far more quickly. This frees up more capital for the majority of good that that do survive. You act as though money...

Inefficient or unneeded businesses and/or industries need to have less capital going to them. Firing people who are employed at wasteful businesses and depriving them(the businesses) of credit is the cure to what ails the economy. Withdrawal is a problem when getting off drugs as well, but it...

Mebane Faber, "Global Value: How to Spot Bubbles, Avoid Market Crashes, and Earn Big Returns" Seems like solid long term research done here. GVAL is his fund that follows the strategy of buying the cheapest CAPE countries rebalanced once a year. Long term this strategy has beat the market...

Schiff was touting gold a decade before he started to sell it himself. He said his clients were too often talked into buying the numismatic coins, so it was easier for him to just sell it himself. His prices are inline with everyone else. I could understand if he was gouging where this might be...

Ok, the most definite answer you see is he thinks 4 or 5 years is too long away, which was posted in 2009. You can say he was wrong here, I would agree, but you don't understand his position if thats all you are going on. The rest of your links are either to someone FOFOA is quoting, someone...

Yeah, I am in that thread. Where did he claim each year there would be a currency crisis as Zippy said? It's ridiculous the standards you put on the guy. A crisis like he is speaking of is not a broken clock type of event. The saying "Oh well everyone is right eventually.." simply shows ignorance.

People who try to make points out of exceptions add nothing to the discussion. Do 99% of people refuse to buy technology because they know it will be cheaper next year? Nope. ok... Its because homeless people don't produce anything. Unless society becomes unable to use it's labor to produce...

When did he gives exact dates or even years as you say?

So you haven't bought a cell phone or a computer or pretty much any piece of technology in your lifetime, right? You can get the computer you are using(I assume you are at the library?) much cheaper a year from now. MP3 player, now or MP4 player next year? 50" 1080p now or 70" 4k next year...

Yeah the shorts don't have the physical to deliver, but the longs to have the cash to buy. No one ever wants to talk about the second part, only about the "naked shorts". Futures markets are filled with longs who can't afford to buy and shorts who can't deliver.

I agree with Pete on this one except I might add a 0 to the end.
