I said:<br /><br /><i>Mr Turk actually no longer owns GoldMoney, contrary to what many seem to think, but rather acts as their paid spokesperson and consultant. GoldMoney is in fact owned by a collection of investors including Doug Casey (Ed Steer's boss), David Tice, IAMGOLD (a large Canadian mining company) and our old friend, Eric Sprott. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions about the ties between the silverogosphere, the big physical metal investors and GoldMoney and its spokesman, as that is a story for another day...</i><br /><br />Actually, I must get around to writing that story one day...<br /><br /><i>JdA</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673441815180854503.post-83931187982148654052012-04-23T07:03:44.402+01:002012-04-23T07:03:44.402+01:00GM Jenkins,

I don't remember all the details, so please correct me if you know better.

I do recall he has an actual "trading page" on one of his websites ... I've never really looked at it closely it though - I'd be afraid if he ever said he was shorting gold, the earth would fall out of its orbit. He's been AWFUL with silver this year, but he actually made a great call last summer, when he forcefully said "this summer will be different" over and over (beyond his general positive outlook), to the point where I was wondering why he would risk his reputation like that, vs. being somewhat more ambivalent. I figured maybe he has access to movements in Goldmoney that tip him off. But yeah, his silver forecasts since then have disproven that hypothesis.GM Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09133132062816684129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673441815180854503.post-24277147135784284012012-04-23T03:33:53.327+01:002012-04-23T03:33:53.327+01:00@J

In describing the work of an acquaintance, a column writer who much to his deteste is required to review hidden gem yet cheap restaurants in the city, he realizes it's all a show. He says:<br /><br />"as I repeatedly went forth with him and began to understand the ignorance and contradictions and language difficulties with which he contended, and the doubtful sources of his information and the seemingly bottomless history and darkness out of which the dishes of New York emerge, the deeper grew my suspicion that his work finally consisted of minting or perpetuating and in any event circulating misconceptions about his subject and in this way adding to the endless perplexity of the world."<br /><br />He goes about his career as an oil & gas analyst:<br /><br />"similar misgivings, I should say, had begun to infect my own efforts at work. These efforts required me, sitting at my desk on the 22nd floor of a glassy tower, to express reliable opinions about the current and future valuation of certain oil and gas stocks..."<br /><br />And later continues..."I felt like Vinay (the critic acquaintance), cooking up myths from scraps and peels of fact."<br /><br />And then I thought of KWN, Sprott, Butler, Turk, etc. and their ongoing cooking up myths from scraps and peels of fact.KJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06013187540374062181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673441815180854503.post-72489026611490384622012-04-22T20:49:45.122+01:002012-04-22T20:49:45.122+01:00@Edwardo

Re the...@Edwardo<br /><br />Glad you liked the broadcast ;-)<br /><br />Re the microphone: Yes, I know the sound quality wasn't great. I did actually go out and buy the best mike I could find (cost = $4; the Screwtape budget goes further into the red every day...sigh...) I live in a developing country, so getting my hands on quality electronics is sometimes far from easy, unfortunately. I hope to get some better kit next time I visit Europe.<br /><br />I hope it didn't affect your enjoyment of the podcast too much, anyway.<br /><br /><i>JdA</i>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673441815180854503.post-49859699476242707312012-04-22T19:53:12.399+01:002012-04-22T19:53:12.399+01:00JdA,
