Yes, that was me and I was the one that phoned into him back in 05. I wouldn't say Cramer is an idiot, I just think he deals with the market on a daily basis which is about as good as driving your car using the rear view mirror.
Here is an interesting formula. When I first got into mining etc in 04 I read this all the time, now it is so blown out I am not sure it holds water. Do the math yourself, shocking!
XAU/price of AU
.21=buy
.25=sell
right now we are at .142 many deviations below the buy signal.
price of AU/HUI
2-2.10=buy
1.6-1.7=sell
right now we are at 2.67 many deviations above the buy signal.
I expect this to also eventually swing the other way so you could hold much longer than the saturated amount since it will probably be in some sort of panic atmosphere, just a guess.
