Major Trend Change, page-37

I can't fathom why you guys think Skol is right. I'm not going to search the threads for when he started on his broken-clock benevolent-to-the-unwise crusade. But on 26/11/09 he wrote this.

"Contrarian signal, buy gold, gold stocks appearing in newspapers and on the internet, time to bail, seen this all before."

On that day gold was, would you believe it; $1180. So he currently stands correct by the sum of $14 and will possibly be wrong again by tomorrow. But if he was any good he wouldn't have been talking punters out of a $700 run that made many a barrow load of coin. In absolute terms if he was as right as he was wrong back then, gold would need to fall to $480.

Just taking today's status on the right:wrong measure on the broken-clock scale with reference back to 09; by my calculations Skol is 2% correct. Congrats Skol. I'll recalculate tomorrow. Will he get to 2.5% correct or will he fall back to 0%, where he has been for most of the last 5 years.

Skol's commentary is worthless to the market player, as bad as this Shiff character and all those other names he mentions, whoever they are - presumably permabulls that only Skol is reading these days.

No one is correct all the time, you just need to be open minded, more right than wrong, and protect capital . But 2% correct..... what a ripper. Skol has been waiting 5 years to collect $14 per oz on his imaginary trade. If you are going to be a broken clock at least go long - you've got inflation on your side.
