    Chris is Andy Hoffman right about the folly of owning mining shares?

      Sorry Rev – didn’t see any immediately identifiable such comments, so can’t comment myself on them

    Rev… can you comprehend he sees bullion..

    Chris is Andy Hoffman right about the folly of owning BitGold ?

      Sep 30, 2015 30:28 AM

      Hoffman himself sounds like folly to me. James Turk is the only gold dealer I know of who has always been honest enough to promote the miners along with the metals (when appropriate) even though he gains nothing by doing so. I bet he would tell you that the miners offer much more upside at this time.

        Sep 30, 2015 30:35 AM

        Thanks Matthew I just need some reassurance. Hoffmann strikes me as an enigma.

          Sep 30, 2015 30:35 AM

          I would not say that…………

          Sep 30, 2015 30:36 AM

          Andy Hoffman, has been spot on concerning the FED.

          Sep 30, 2015 30:43 AM

          Hoffman and Turk are two different personalities ………..HOFFMAN loves to Rant.

            Sep 30, 2015 30:44 AM

            Turk, just likes to laugh all the way to the bank…………..

            Sep 30, 2015 30:04 PM

            I don’t think it’s at all accurate to say that Turk does any laughing all the way to the bank. He’s a class act.

            Sep 30, 2015 30:25 PM

            laughing all the way to the bank……would be an expression, of how much cash he made on the deal when he sold the Gold company to the bitcoin guys……

            Sep 30, 2015 30:26 PM

            Timing is everything……..and I think he made out like a bandit………..

            Sep 30, 2015 30:27 PM

            He dropped his Ranting Andy moniker to plain Andrew Hoffman. He gives a really fun interview/rant today. loved it.
            Even as pure entertainment
            Oil, Mining, Glencore, Greece, Spain, VW, Dieselgate, etc.

            “What’s not imploding?” Wednesday.
            The trouble is he has been right on most of this stuff in the last few years.

          Sep 30, 2015 30:45 AM

          Miners are still headed lower……….

        Sep 30, 2015 30:36 AM

        Yep he sounds like my grandfather. Sure one day he’ll be right.

      Sep 30, 2015 30:10 PM

      That one I can offer an opinion on…first of all, I know little about the mechanics of Bit Gold. While it’s been years since I’ve seen him, I have a high personal regard for James Turk, notwithstanding the fact that – as many gold purveyors — maybe things haven’t always turned out as he predicted/thought they would. Unlike some (most?) of the others, I don’t doubt Turk’s sincerity.
      Having said that, I have never seen any rhyme or reason to have PHYSICAL gold any place but in one’s hands. It’s “mad money” to use if things implode. It’s hidden wealth, theoretically known to no one but the holder.
      If you want to invest where gold is concerned, there are better and more profitable ways. But to me, this idea of having a gold-centric “community currency” might be a nice philosophy, but impractical – and it defeats the purpose of physical gold to begin with.
      As but one historical lesson on this general subject, who out there remembers the old National Commodity and Barter Assn.?

        I don’t know how on Earth I ended up way down here — this is in answer to Gabriel MANY posts up

    Al, couple things, @ x dollars “ya really gotta be careful”
    The dollar amount doesnt matter, if the amount is significant to the investor, “ya gotta be careful” Ill add, if the amount invested causes sweat, ya got too much invested. imo

    Other point, your thinking the markets are ok, Greg Manarino disagrees with you , usa watchdog. JTL would agree tho, lol

      Sep 30, 2015 30:51 AM

      I would have to agree with Greg M. considering the entire thing is a mess.

    Sep 30, 2015 30:50 AM

    Chris, is Handy Andy right about anything?

      Sep 30, 2015 30:13 PM

      Don’t really follow him, Irwin – so can’t say

    Sep 30, 2015 30:17 AM

    PLATINUM………………….$908……….

      Sep 30, 2015 30:29 AM

      no long winded comments need here………just facts………..

      Sep 30, 2015 30:14 PM

      Can anyone spell VW?

        Sep 30, 2015 30:28 PM

        I THINK they will need more platinum , not less, to take care of the pollution problem.

    Sep 30, 2015 30:58 PM

    Come in Chris….!!

    Sep 30, 2015 30:35 PM

    Andy H SELLS bullion…. he was correct in his call when…2 yrs ago re miners… he is in competition with your buying miners & not their gold…lets try to be objective
    being correct re the fed one or the other side will be correct… give us a break..

      Sep 30, 2015 30:47 PM

      The only break you need , is a couple days off………….

      Sep 30, 2015 30:13 PM

      I enjoy listening to Ranting Andy Hoffman usually. Sometimes he gets a little too excited. However he has hit the nail on the head by being so bearish on miners for quite a long time.

      It really looks like deleveraging is beginning to come into the mining industry.

        Sep 30, 2015 30:30 PM

        ditto……..on the enjoy part…………and correct on miners.
