That is true, and back then he was obviously "da man" for gold. But for the last fifteen years his prognostications have been woeful. "If gold hits $354.30 the gold derivative mountain will collapse and gold will skyrocket", or, "if gold is not at $618 by August 18th 2005 I will never, ever post on a public forum again" etc. etc.
When investing, I am doing it now, not thirty years ago. If I had followed his advice and taken note of his predictions, I would be much worse off than I am now.
