    I still don’t understand how a guy goes from being a Chiropractor* to one of the world’s most quoted Gold Gurus. Hey, God love ‘m! Far be it from me to judge Bo. I would just like to get his Agent’s number 😉

    *Nothing against Chiropractors — In fact, I could use an adjustment.

      Oct 20, 2014 20:25 AM

      But better to be way off on a Gold move than somebody’s spine.

        Oct 20, 2014 20:42 AM

        Haha, or yeah, if someone gets whiplash from a whipsaw gold move, they can go in for treatment. 🙂 (sorry)

        Oct 20, 2014 20:52 AM

        lol….hahahaha…good one!! Raknev

      I just listened to Bo’s commentary and it was pretty hilarious and it was impossible to take seriously. The cherry was when he was trying to multiply 3*21. Hard to believe you guys published that. I don’t know much about Bo but sounds like he has made so good calls in the past. He just seemed wired on something.

        Oct 20, 2014 20:20 PM

        YES!! I picked that up too! 3 x 21 is 62!!..I am NOT being disparaging but that was REAL WIERD!!

          Oct 20, 2014 20:41 PM

          Going to be interesting just how this one plays our Marc!

        Oct 20, 2014 20:35 PM

        Afternoon Peter,

        Bo was actually recommended to us by a highly respected friend. I painted Bo into a corner and I have to respect him for taking the stance that he took. Let’s see how it pans out. So far, and yes it is only for a very short period of time, he is correct.

          Oct 20, 2014 20:24 PM

          Al, he is no different then many other gurus. I don’t know where we get this perception bo is perfect on his calls. He has changed his calls a few time in the past including changing a call that was posted on his website that stated the june low for gold was in. He then removed it. Others can verify this? I seen it with my own eyes. I believe it was june or july. Unless it was a complete hoax then i was fooled but his website had a low in. “A final low” then that low was broken.

            Oct 20, 2014 20:28 PM

            The low was then removed AL

            Oct 20, 2014 20:35 PM

            Right

    Oct 20, 2014 20:42 AM

    Good day everyone,

    Something is brewing up the hills of Caspiche. Heavy insider buying from Exeter Resources.

      Oct 20, 2014 20:33 AM

      Remember that I did announce recently that I was going to buy some stock in Exeter.

      Oct 20, 2014 20:51 AM

      A company that I think is underrated continues to buy its shares back (which shrinks the float and increases existing shareholders’ % ownership).

        Oct 20, 2014 20:03 PM

        Thanks Matthew, I took a look.

        Oct 20, 2014 20:16 PM

        SMD is also on my watch and has been for a long time. I agree, smart decision to buy back shares at this stage. I just need the PMS to go up to the 1400 gold and 25 silver range to bring the Yukon back into play for me.

          Oct 20, 2014 20:25 PM

          SMD will easily triple from here by the time the metals reach those prices. Mark my words.

    Oct 20, 2014 20:42 AM

    Why is that so surprising? It shouldn’t be. That how great success stories are made.
    I went from being a professional horse handicapper to being, IMHO, a very knowledgable gold expert.
    I would want it any other way.
    What difference does it make what he used to do.

    The bottom line is he is right.
    The gold market has bottom and we are starting to climb a proverbial wall of worry.

    You want to debate his background or make money?

      Oct 20, 2014 20:12 AM

      When it comes to making money, I think it’s all just speculation and there’s money to be made in that business too. As I say, God bless ’em; someone has to be right.

      As for handicapping, I can certainly appreciate the practice of assigning advantage based on a set of historical data. Isn’t that what Gary’s doing?

      Yeah really makes no difference to me in the end. My best guess is that in the long run, considering the world today, people should buy gold same as they would buy insurance.

        Oct 20, 2014 20:43 AM

        Completely agree Chips!

      Oct 20, 2014 20:35 AM

      James,

      Making money always is much more important than debating! But then again, you know that!

      Oct 20, 2014 20:53 AM

      James,
      its damn nice you are back in black!

      Oct 20, 2014 20:24 PM

      He may be right but not until after making ultimate bottom calls in gold before. Bo Polny wrongly called for the bottom in gold back in 2013 at $1321 and stated that gold will never go below $1300.

      http://www.silverdoctors.com/bo-polny-gold-has-bottomed-at-1321-to-rise-into-june-5th-turn-date/

      A few months after his proclamation, gold fell over 10% to $1180.

        Oct 20, 2014 20:38 PM

        I do remember that Mr. Miller

      Oct 20, 2014 20:20 PM

      I agree with the bottoming part but Bo’s projections are bit lofty for my taste. We will get there but it will take some time or a couple major bullish events in my opinion. For Silver, it is going to take someone demanding delivery of silver later this year when all those contracts come due and for Gold it will take the Swiss vote to kick things off or for a major super power to formally announce Gold is foundation of their economic system.

    Oct 20, 2014 20:44 AM

    On the same subject what is Gary’s background?
    Zilch, nada, nothing

      Oct 20, 2014 20:31 AM

      Businessman, James. He is a businessman with a long history of following markets. After listening to him for two years I have to say he makes some really great calls and does so with intelligence. He used to drive me nuts with his inflation ideas and all that blather about manipulation but lately I am really appreciating his insights and approach to the markets. I think he has grown well into the business.

        Oct 21, 2014 21:09 AM

        Background means nothing especially if your talking about professional experience. A consistent track record of outperformance is the important thing. The problem is most newsletter writers look smart when they are just riding a bull market but show no ability to outperform once the bull ends. If you look at the numbers most also underperform in bull markets too because they try to time pullbacks and jump in and out of positions rather then just riding the whole trend. Their subscribers don’t even realize it because they are just happy making any money and don’t even know what their overall returns are anyways. Also most never consider what they lose in taxes too by jumping in and out rather then just staying invested. The industry is ripe with fraud and hustlers that prey on people looking for the holy grail.

          Oct 21, 2014 21:34 AM

          There are some out there, no question Milty.

          I like to think that those who appear on our show do not fall into that category!

      Oct 20, 2014 20:38 AM

      No James, other than constant education and a track record of a number of years.

        Oct 21, 2014 21:13 AM

        Hey Al do you know the track records of all your contributors? I’d be curious to know what they are in both the short and long term like a 1 year and 5 year period.

          Oct 21, 2014 21:35 AM

          Fair enough, I will ask for that information, Milty.

      Oct 20, 2014 20:13 PM

      I have been following Gary Savage since about 2008. Gary has done a fairly good job of making calls the last year or two. However Gary has made many wrong calls especially for stocks, bonds, the dollar and even gold prior to this. Gary was calling for the stock market to make a major top a number of times back in 2010, 2011 and 2012. I remember him telling people to get out of stocks back when the SP500 was testing it’s then all-time highs back around 1500. I remember Gary saying the Bond bull market was over back in early 2009 when people flocked to treasuries for safety.

      Just go back and read his blog. Here is just one example

      http://www.smartmoneytracker.blogspot.jp/2011/11/secular-bear-market-golds-wave-advance.html

      Gary correctly stated once that even the best market timers are right about 65% of the time. Gary track record prior to 2013 is not good.

      http://www.cxoadvisory.com/14562/individual-gurus/gary-savage-tracking-smart-money/

      But like I said Gary has done a much better job the past year or so.

    when I was in the corp world, the best investors were the engineers-formulas, style, discipline, etc. These folks dug deep. technicals and fundamentals

    Oct 20, 2014 20:08 PM

    He is self educated, which don’t get me wrong, is fine.
    Everyone on this board is getting an education.
    That doesn’t make everyone qualified to give investment advice
    Everyone also has a track record, for better or for worse.
    In his case it should be public knowledge.

      Oct 20, 2014 20:16 PM

      I agree re. education, but who here is giving investment advice?

        Oct 20, 2014 20:24 PM

        Hi Chips…….I am …Buy physical silver…..There you go FREE investment advice.

          Oct 20, 2014 20:53 PM

          Hi irish, LIKE it!

          Oct 20, 2014 20:08 PM

          For the record, THAT WAS NOT INVESTMENT ADVICE. It was simply a case of waaaay too much Guinness.

            Oct 20, 2014 20:33 PM

            Then more investment advisers should drink Guinness!

        Oct 20, 2014 20:07 PM

        Hopefully no one Chips.

      Oct 20, 2014 20:06 PM

      I don’t disagree with a lot of what you say, but in this case I do.

    Oct 20, 2014 20:24 PM

    Gary, Rick and Doc. They have the microphone.

    Are they giving investment advice? I will leave that to you to decide.

    If they aren’t giving investment advice then why bother having them on.

      Oct 20, 2014 20:28 PM

      Excellent quote, James. Dispense with the legalese and get down to brass tacks as long as everyone understands the rules. I mean no one on this site should ever blame another for making a bad call. Even the best make bad calls. A bad call is what brought me to this site, but only because I was looking for some answers… Because I thought it was time for me to start thinking for myself and start making my own trading decisions rather than resign myself to someone else’s opinion.

      They have the microphone, right. We have the forum to give them feedback, but the feedback should be at least constructive. No one’s getting paid here to give “investment advice” I know so otherwise I’d say yeah, give ’em hell. On the other hand, I could quote the guy in the movie, Airplane that said, “They bought their tickets– I say let ’em crash.”

        Oct 20, 2014 20:38 PM

        Gotta be really careful with the regulators. And, we are as careful as possible to down break any rules.

        Oct 20, 2014 20:42 PM

        Well said, Chips. I’m glad that so many opinions are available, free or not, all over the internet. Food for thought is a good thing and I don’t care if it’s considered advice or not, I take responsibility for my decisions.

          Oct 20, 2014 20:46 PM

          Unfortunately, Chips, the regulators don’t see it that way!

            Oct 20, 2014 20:27 PM

            Unfortunately is right, Al!

    Oct 20, 2014 20:34 PM

    Gary has been calling for “they” to knock the price of gold down to $1000 so “they” can get in at a better entry point and make obscene profits. Once “they” were in the price was going to sky rocket. That call was supposed to have already happened by now.
    That was his big, bad, bold call. It failed miserably.
    Everything else is meaningless.

    Remember you can’t hit a moving target

      Oct 20, 2014 20:20 PM

      James,
      I have to agree with you!

      Oct 20, 2014 20:34 PM

      James you made a bold statement and have continuously harped with arrogance lets say that “Your final bottom call” is the bottom. Well if it doesn’t pan out that way you are going to eat crow. If it does I will tip my hat off to you sir.

    Max
    Oct 20, 2014 20:36 PM

    Bo was dramatic wrong last year and before calling the bottom. Always look at the track record. His is not clean, he was wrong with the bottom before!! Why did not you mention that?

      Oct 21, 2014 21:11 AM

      Thanks Max,

      Listen to my Daily Editorial today (Tuesday) with Chris Temple.

      Best and thank you for the comment.
