Grandich comment on Gartman

A compliment for GATA from Peter Grandich

While I never felt that the gold market was manipulated to the extent some within the GATA (www.gata.org) community do, I believe their principal argument is correct. No one makes that argument better than Chris Powell of GATA. Chris is a true gentleman. I always look forward to being in his company.

Yesterday Chris penned this letter, "The Gold Market Really Isn't About You, Dennis":

This is not jealousy or envy on my part but just something I've learned in 25 years in this business. I believe understanding it will help readers avoid or lessen losses.

I agree with Chris that Mr. Gartman was not really showing humility. I believe Gartman wrote as he did because his poor performance was affecting his business -- and not just limited to gold. Because Gartman seems to thrive on attention (when I shared a stage with him or heard him I found him to have a big ego), I believe that his "confession" would not receive absolution in my church. For him to think that his opinion was so popular that his own advice was sabotaging his market performance is really just another part of an inflated ego.

Thanks, Chris, for your keen observation and the work you and GATA do for a market that is clearly manipulated and maybe more than I had felt until now.
