FB is being discussed right now because up until very recently he was a gold bull. He has now called a top with a rather severe correction. He is a techncal analyst who, when markets follow technical projections, is very good at short term forcasting. When markets deviate from the technical methods he uses he is caught with his pants down. The question on everyone's mind right now is whether FB will find himself currently without pants or whether his critics will find themselves with egg on their face (and a lighter pocket book). Through the financial fiasco he has been burned rather badly and is being very cautious. As such he has been erring on the side of bearishness. Most assume he is doing so now.
