J. Christian means well, but I have a lot of problems with his work and analysis. If you read the CPM silver 2008 and CPM Gold 2008 books, they were really, really awful. I almost savaged them on Amazon.com for it, but was so busy working in my business at the time, I never got to it.

In this work, we saw poor editing, run-on sentences, all sorts of errors that should never make it into professional work. Further, he accused gold investors of indulging in too many conspiracy theories, and took a very insulting tone about many issues near and dear to the gold community. Jeff is very much a part of the system, and is hostage to views you would see on CNBC. He also lacks vision. In Commodities Rising, he dismissed silver as a bad investment because it's too common. And he has many other failings. He probably has too many friends at Goldman Sachs, and does want to be one of "those" guys who believes in the PPT, manipulation of mainstream thought through the propaganda of the media, etc.

It's amazing how much he's changed his views in the last 3 years or so. He'll be dragged kicking and screaming toward our point of view as reality sets in. It's just so obvious that the system transfers the wealth of a large mass of people to a small group of dominant men via the Fed and the IRS.
