    Hahaha, he's real.....but the roboposts have been the subject of some discussion. He's a busy guy, much like VRS lol, and doesn't have much time for us.

    blatant spam, it's becoming a joke.
    If you're not going to add anything constructive to this community then stay away.

    This is one of only a couple that put up with his pathetic posts, I for one have no idea why. He's not doing this place a service and his predictions suck anyway so why you'd want to be associated with him is beyond me.

    Roman1613, I have no desire to be associated with BJF and don't agree with most of his assessments. I do, however, appreciate his videos and blog as a source of entertainment. Don't really see a need to hate on the guy....

    I like some of his TA, but I lost a bit of faith in his knowledge when he thinks that our (right wing conservative) government here in the UK is "socialist" - ha ha nearly fell off my chair when i heard that!

    I reckon Matthew 26:14 has the best answer. I agree 100% however, I also see why GP is letting him run with it because it possibly may open doors for the site of SS to expand, more members, more clicks, more advertisers :p with everything in life there is usually thoughtful motive behind it, and I bet if one of us were to do something similar a ton of poo would be chucked at us or we'd be called a "troll" eh :rolleyes:

    But as a side note - I do watch BJ vids even though he did say with conviction last year it was going to hit $100 by end of 2011 :rolleyes:

    Just over these crappy posts Irondog that's all, don't hate the guy.

    All he has to do is act human and his posts go from annoying to perfectly acceptable, however, it's pretty evident he has no intentions of doing that.
    I just feel he's using this place for his own benefit and nothing more, at the very least he should flick an oz of silver GPs way, just out of respect.

    I'm probably overly grouchy but I don't like spam and I don't respect permabulls...

    Yeah, I agree a human touch would be nice. He did mention SS in one of his vids a while back and GP welcomed his posts if I recall. Would be a nice gesture on BJF's part to link SS on his blog page. That might be asking a bit much considering the reception he's gotten here though.....

    Uh?!?! Irondog,WTF?!?! What's this 'don't have time for US' bollox? - You make me sound like The Queen mate... ( well, on weekends, maybe... But that's another story ENTIRELY darling...)

    What I do is collate relevant news feeds which have some bearing on silver & gold prices - I cannot afford a plastic kayak, let alone an ivory tower. I used to do a lot of posting of articles up here but thx to other stuff on my hands right now I simply provide all the info I would've otherwise posted up but don't (regrettably) have enough time to do... Numbers are swelling fast, I must admit, so I feel good in being able to get that info which might be useful across to everyone on SS & elsewhere... I am however (coincidentally) an ordained minister ( or was in a previous life ) so y'never know... In fact I'd just LOVE to hold Vektor's head underwater for... well... Let's just say some considerable time anyway. I have absolutely no time for Numpties, Twonks, Xenophobes, Egoistes, Bigots, Racists or Julia Gillard. Life is indeed too short - and fragile - to waste time on that kinda thing...

    Bro J has no time (apparently) to engage with we mortals - a bit like Mike Moloney - however he is prolific in his postings and angles on self-promotion, presumably to align himself with the larger soothsayers such as Moloney & Kiyosaki (whom I both respect but have a slight problem with in that Gold Is Money, the portal thru which many new-ish stackers/'investors' will ONLY buy thru is like a Church or Cult...) - Consequently being prophets of the demise of fiat currencies pays WELL - BOY does it pay well...

    So well in fact that I'm sure when MM says 'I own no stocks' WTF does he care? GIM makes a FAT (and unjustifiable IMHO) profit from weighting sales at a massive premium on spot - and if you think about it, that's the way of get people with weak minds converted - herd 'em into a 'congregation' - part of something bigger which makes 'em feel more comfortable... Or to use the 'Sheeple' analogy, to go with a variation on the herd mentality that prevails amongst non-stackers, give 'em a Membership Card...

    So, thanks for the big-up, but as everyone - the great bunch of fellow SS'ers I met at last weekend's Bris meet will know - I DO exist, DO take time to help people out (because I've had some of the most incredible people do the same for me throughout my life in all areas of our tiny & brief existence as a species - I am truly grateful, so I believe in putting something back... I AM a capitalist though, so tread that fine line between margin & exploitation of an opportunity, aka 'business'... So I'm just getting on with that right now...

    One of the guys at the Bris meet - lovely guy - Furby I think, asked me how much I could supply 50x 1kg bars for - on a Sunday. Well, unfortunately my Sunday pants only fit about 25kg, so he was out of luck... BUT the price I quoted that day was keen @ $980/kg. Over the course of the weekend the POS wiggled a bit and then settled on Monday at around equiv of $1040-1050/kg...

    So I get a phone call on Monday from the same guy and he asks me to quote him - immediate delivery - same quantity. Bear in mind that I can fix a price today for a settlement at the end of the week or next week's delivery - so I gave him some options - EITHER $1050/kg paid for NOW, delivery within 12 hrs of cleared funds - OR if he needed to take a moment to think before committing then he could hold-off and he could name the day - I'd quote him 4-5% over spot (I have to make a profit too y'know) and he could push the button when he liked...

    Do you know what he said? he said 'Well, thankyou very much, but I'm not comfortable with the difference from $980/kg to $1040/kg since YESTERDAY - as if I'm some kind of market maker lolol!

    Do you know what I said to him? 'No probs, thanks for your enquiry, but y'know what - you should've jacked into my Twitter feed and then at least you'dve had some warning on the spanking PM's got over the Xmas/New Year holiday which pushed the POS down to $26-27... Timing is ALL my friend...'

    But hey - it's funny how that lag goes when people think they want to buy and then sit on the fence wondering why they DIDN'T buy at $26.50/oz, then only to complain at either the increased/increasing prices when they miss their own boat... That's called 'experience' - and I for one will be learning for as long as I'm breathing...

    To take any other approach to life I think is both a lost opportunity and a total drag on your family/peers/mates etc... especially in this game...

    If the price is right for you, BUY - if it's too expensive for your liking then DON'T... but hey - give a trader a break Man... On that day at that time at that venue - you couldn't've bought 25kg's of 9995 Ag cheaper from ANYONE (well, maybe with the exception of my mate Skipster!) in Brisbane.

    I bet Furby's kicking himself now the POS's tickling $32!

    And as far as not having time for others - iDog - You'd really need to ask people at last Sunday's gathering about that mate... or have BEEN there... Or why I believe that one of the biggest roles I can have is to help spread the word which we do... Enuff said....

    In the meantime I hope the stuff I post on my Twitfeed saves you time, money & heartache in some way.

    Use it or not, it's there & it's FREE.

    You should check out The Doc (Silverdoctors Blogspot) & what HE does for our global community of stackers - all by donation - a true flag-bearer - with time to get back to anyone who messages him...

    Going back to Bro John - I think he's also caught in a bit of a crux - but he needs to employ a secretary - step things up a gear - and PARTICIPATE rather than just DISPENSE...

    Otherwise people have no means of questioning his articles or discussing his analysis... and if that happens, then he'll just become more wallpaper for the tinfoil hat brigade to admire... if he isn't quite there already... I still have a great amount of respect for the time he spends on analysis - that doesn't mean I agree with him always of course but I for one am grateful for his continuing input...

    Peace, Love & Filial greets...

    ^^VRS,
    Was just poking some fun and the sarcasm wasn't apparent. You've certainly been a prolific poster and contributor on SS without question I've thoroughly enjoyed your informative posts and sense of humor. Perhaps some Skrillex and a beer if you're ever in my neck of the woods?

    Yes please - pie & pint deffo on the cards.

    Stackers & investors alike can get a bit AG-blinded sometimes with the amount of info out there - and y'know one of the things that stopped me actually posting do often (along with keeping other businesses afloat in Oz & abroad) recently was... an SS're said some time back 'When I read some of VRS' links, Man I feel so DUMB & inadequate!' lolol! Well, welcome to the club - so do I!

    The best thing is to be able to take in all this news or info from sources & make SOMETHING of it based on what you think & what others are saying 'bout the same issues.

    I LOATHE personality cults, organized religion, working for 50 yrs for the gold clock... all of that, mainly because I've done a lot of work around creative artists, musicians & people who demand their egos be pampered since the early/mid-'80's... So would rather just relay the same info I receive now via Twitter & a few hundred other sources... I hope it'll help everyone have better market intelligence and/or make (or save) a buck...

    PayPal donations soon to be accepted! (No, only joking - t'will ALWAYS be free - even to those on here who've told me to 'go back to where I came from' (What, Europe you mean? Where your lot came from too? Or do you mean Olduvai? Get to f&ck lol!) - All talk & no action... I don't do that... and have given my number out to any of 'em who blurt & bahhh... And do you know what... have any of 'em actually been man enough to pick up the phone? Nope.

    That's how I know what I stand for & by is worthwhile... and sorts the men from the boys. In this game INFORMATION IS POWER... and education is such an important element. I REALLY value the opinion of many friends & contributors on SS because they have experience, are objective viewpoint & know much more than I do... but together - that's a VERY cool gig... & long may she continue...

    I love you already.

    Watch the skies.

    And JP Morgan.

    :D

    I like brother John F's website, it's fantastic for looking at all the latest silver/gold articles and clips. It really is good.

    I agree though, posting and buggering off without responding to anyone here is a tad uncouth.

    How about viewing them as "silver crumbs"? Whilst you have not been invited to dine at the master's table, you should at least be grateful for these crumbs that have fallen from his plate.

    1 Corinthians 3:2 "I gave you milk, not solid food, for you were not yet ready for it. Indeed, you are still not ready."

    As Charlie Munger would say, "Suck it up buddy, suck it up." :)

    Oh please.....

    Anyway, talking of Skrillex...

    Oh yeah, and http://bible.cc/matthew/7-15.htm always came in handy...

    One eye on the road, another on the rear-view, two more out the side windows, one down for potholes, one up for vultures and the biggest one constantly-revolving for another sort of hole...

    Are you saying I am below him?

    Thanks for the laugh, you eat up his "technical analysis" and we'll see who's better off by years end :lol:

    Also don't insult me by quoting your book of BS, i'll be forced to insult you and that will be your own fault. It has no place in a public forum.

    Mate, most posts on this forum by vollume are either sarcastic and irrelevant, images of stupid things like people touching their foreheads, comments about their boat sinking or the one liner "to da moon"... or people speaking like pirates.

    Atleast he posts information that is topical.

    Free speech is fine, say what you like, but quote the bible but don't expect everyone to like it. If i'm forced to read it just by browsing the forum then others will be forced to read my thoughts on why it is ridiculous.
