It seems the essence of this thread is "Bob Chapman" envy. Deep down all of you want him to be right so badly. Bob is silver's whipping boy...

Not really, if he cant get the timing right thats fine, I just want him to shut up rather than act like everything that comes out of his mouth is gospel truth.


My point is that Bob is a huge optimist .... and so are we ;)

he is on the silver train and he will get the timing right sooner or later
 
You have to hand it to the man.

It is quite a skill to be in a bull market, making bullish predictions, and getting it consistently wrong. That isn't easy you know.
 
Bob is the man, once again.

* I don't expect specifics from his general advice.
* I like that he is educating the masses at much of his personal time/expense.
* You don't have to subscribe / pay for his newsletter.
* Decades of experience and willing to talk about things he knows are true.

More than I can say for most 70+ year-olds, let alone the youngens.

Bob is a jewel.

Do you mean buying government bonds, buying bank shares, putting money into super funds, and be fully invested the paper tiger standard blue chip stocks will make you rich?

I don't see this thread about being just about silver. You may see it differently.

Have y'all not divided up into Pro Bob, Anti-Bob camps...YET?

Im pro money, as long as he is not costing me money then yeah I will listen to him but if I listened to his silver cutting through $50 like butter and $80 by October then why bother listening to "gurus" who is always wrong (I am talking about his silver prediction - as that is the only reason I am in this forum).

Silver was on the verge of cutting through 50 easily, but they raised margin requirements several times to counter that. Bob was spot-on. He isn't a crystal ball; some things are beyond his control.

General guidance is what he gives us. If you are listening to anyone and expect a crystal ball, then you are always going to be disappointed. I don't know any analyst that claims to know exactly where silver or gold will be at any given time. But I hear plenty give their ideas on where it's going to be. Bob is as good as any, plus provides us a lot more in the way of life experience than many others can.

What we have in this world is many afraid to talk about how things really are or how we can protect ourselves. Old or young, very few are out there putting out the info he is.

I'm glad whenever I get a chance to listen to him. No analyst or market commentator is going to give you what you want if you want 100% certainty of anything at any time.
 
Bob said today that when he says he's "right 98% of the time" he means in his publications/newsletter.
 
I think COMEX should be thanked for raising the margins near $50.
It saved many investers in buying at the top of a paper bubble.

I'm definitely doubt Bob's claim of "right 98% of the time", seriously man... how the heck did he get that figure from? In fact many of the things he said didn't happen...
Seriously, ANYONE can claim to be "right" 98%, 99%, 99.5% (or whatever) of the time! Whose counting anyway???

I think at this late stage of his life, Bob is suffering a severe case of grandeur which is common amongst old timer who claim to have all the "Experiences" in the world to know everything!
