Nice guy but an alarmist, as I've been told by someone who knows him well. I wouldn't put a lot of stock in him. He claimed that a consortium of Russia, Europe and China were looking at creating a new gold backed currency. I looked into it and found nothing. I think it was nothing more than hearsay. Perhaps some guy mentioned it and he picked it up and retold it as if the guy had credibilty. I don't put any stock in him.

Hows that for an opinion of the guy! :)
