<p>[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 1852927, member: 26302"]I agree. Basically a fluff piece updating a casual investor on what happened. No strong predictions of the future. It actually said that this might be a cyclical correction, which is bullish on gold. I do not see how any gold bug could view the article negatively, unless to that gold bug the only ACCEPTABLE article is how gold will go to the moon almost immediately, stay up there forever, his family will worship his name as the founder of the family gold fortune, and the local high school will hold annual parades in his honor forever, and anything else written about gold is simply anti-gold "propaganda". </p><p><br /></p><p>Sorry I went off the deep end there, but the point it gold is an asset. As an asset there are pros and cons, and anyone interested in the asset should listen to both sides of the discussion with an open mind, and not assume everything is "propoganda". Yes, there is vested interests trying to influence the price of basically everything. I agree there is a ton of negative stuff written against all pm, maybe from vested interests maybe not. But to assume everything not supporting your world view has to be wrong or tainted, I simply believe is a dangerous world view. </p><p><br /></p><p>You know what? I have been wrong more times than I can count. I have been majorly wrong with many investment ideas. Could I be wrong about pm at this monent? Of course. Maybe this IS a huge, never to be seen again chance in my lifetime to buy pm at these prices. However, the one thing I would say in my favor is I try to read and listen with an open mind. Its one thing to be wrong, everyone is, has been, and will be. However, if you refuse to listen to anything other than what supports your world view then you will ALWAYS stay wrong on those things. I simply do not mind being wrong in life, but I would hate to think I was too stubborn to ever learn and admit when I was wrong.</p><p><br /></p><p>Btw Hotpocket, we have a longstanding, honored tradition here on Cointalk of shooting messengers.

Btw Hotpocket, we have a longstanding, honored tradition here on Cointalk of shooting messengers. Why should you be any different? :D[/QUOTE]
