Jim Sinclair

Mijn grote vriend Jim Sinclair, volgens de New York Times "mr Gold" himself, zei in 2002 tegen me: 'Listen Stan, put your money in gold. It is now 220 dollar for a troy ounce, but in 2008 it wil be at least 900 dollar. All these personal as well as collective deficits balloon, and it will one day explode.' Ik bedankte hem voor het vriendelijke advies, maar ik heb geen geld en zal dus ook nooit geld kunnen maken. Bovendien, wat moet je met al dat geld, ik heb al genoeg zorgen aan mijn hoof en ik ben journalist en ik interviewde hem als journalist, dus maak je van je positie geen misbruik. Overigens doet een aantal van mijn collega's dit wel, zo weet ik uit directe ervaring. Hoe dan ook, vanmiddag stuurde Jim me dit mailtje en aangezien hij vele malen miljonair is geeft het toch te denken:

'Dear Extended Family,

As far as I can recall, today is the first day that a headline appeared on Financial TV saying that the "US budget deficit is about to BALLOON."This is a Key driver that will push gold higher than most people will ever believe.My opinion is based on almost 50 years of experience and upon which I place my reputation. A confluence of events will lead gold to over $1000 and potentially to and through $1650.The derivative meltdown problem is the greatest risk any economy has faced since written history started in the Indus Valley prior to the arrival of Alexander the Great.Please protect yourself by the simple act of, as far as possible, reducing financial agents between you and your assets.

Respectfully,

Your Watchman,

Jim'

Thank you Jim. But still I have no money to make money.

Yours forever

Stan
