In a recent interview with J. Puplava, Marc Faber made a point well worth repeating. I'm paraphrasing here because I'm too lazy to go back and pull the exact quote, but effectively he said:

"I search out opinions I disagree with and test them against my own viewpoint"

The reason I bring this up is I see a lot of stuff posted here from various gold sites. Well, these people are selling something, are they not? Granted they've had the wind at their back for the last decade, but frankly, how many of them saw the recent sell-off coming and warned you about it?

My point is that most of these guys are too focused on making their case to examine the opposing view. They are right most of the time, until something goes wrong, at which point they become dangerous to your financial health. Take it all with a grain of salt if you can. They are selling you a product, and a good salesman will always extol the virtue of his goods.
