Yeah... This has been a bad year for many including Puplava. Don't forget his "Oreo" theory or his many "back up the truck" moments.
This year really underscores how important it is to listen to all of these "experts" with one ear and assess many different opinions before making your own choices. The market always has a way of bringing most of us back to earth, including guys like Puplava.
It would be nice to hear him discuss where he has missed the mark. I guess he really doesn't have to worry though; he will collect his 2% management fee on his 175 million dollar portolio regardless of what return he makes. What a life! Most of us are not that fortunate.
