Did anyone else think that article/excerpt ended a little strangely? First, this investor is set up as an authority figure in bear markets, then it reports where his current trajectory is headed, at which point the article abruptly ends.
Gold bugs have been ramping up their rhetoric during the last decade, and during that time period, the data have shown that gold is strong against the USD. However, the way the article reads, and particularly the way it ends, verges on scaremongering of the sort that can only reinforce the very investments described in the article.
- j_b_f 17y agoI agree with you about the abrupt ending but I think it's because the article was adapted from an upcoming book ("The Greatest Trade Ever" by Gregory Zuckerman). Weird editing, but maybe the purpose was to make it abrupt enough that people who want to go get the book to figure out what happens next.
- alanthonyc 17y agoA lot of it is also because we are still in the middle of the story. The jury is still out on that bet.
- jeromec 17y agoYeah, I agree, especially in light of recent events and coming from the WSJ. Whether or not scaremongering was the intention it doesn't exactly help.
