I like to take in precious metal news as often as I can. I find Eric Sprott to be a lot more pragmatic when discussing what's going on. What does everyone else think of him?
I think he is fairly pragmatic. What I most appreciate is he tends not to put time frames on his outlooks. So silver is in a bear market, gold is out of fashion, the world is in debt and the stock market is frothy. All those cycles will change, just nobody knows when. No point calling for silver to the moon in 2015, or a 1929 style depression in 2016. History repeats, but what makes it fascinating, is that though it's utterly predicatble, the date on the calendar when it happens absolutely isn't, Enjoy reading his articles, he's clearly someone who believes economic patterns and cycles repeat. One of my favorite quotes from Churchill. "The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see".
I like reading silverbug articles, but I take them with a grain of salt (or silver). I like the stuff, and want to believe whatever they tell me, but I feel like I have to get the story from a lot of different angles before I draw a conclusion. I do like Eric Sprott, though.
Here's an article he wrote on how silver could go up with an ebola outbreak: http://www.mining.com/web/an-ebola-...ebirth-in-gold-and-silver-prices-eric-sprott/
