B, I wouldn't read too much into it. Don't spend your time listening for sounds that aren't there. Jim works his butt off to get that thing put together every weekend. He's been focusing a lot of his energy on this Crime of the Century Theme, and I must say, has done a pretty fantastic job. The other day he took extra time to apologize to a Q caller he couldn't answer. If you listen carefully, you can hear almost a sadness in his voice. This is a very wealthy man who is feeling sorry for this poor Q caller he can't help. If you can't appreciate how exceedingly rare that is for a human being in Puplava's station, then please, please make a greater study of life on this earth in the days you have left to you. Knowledge like that, the ability to see what that means will enable you greater understanding that will put you on a path towards many types of wealth. Did Jim Puplava predict 18,000 Dow by years end? I really don't remember. People like predictions. I personally have little use for them. I like character and track records, and Jim Puplava is second to none when it comes to both. If you are wondering what Jim Puplava is thinking right now. Don't! Because he might not even know what he's thinking right now. Life is a game of adjustments. And Puplava knows how to make adjustments. Listen to what the man says and hear his words. And for heaven's sakes, look at what he does. His money is in Kimber. A lot of his money. Do you really think he's going to lose that battle? Do you? Bull
