Peter is a very good guy but a much harder read than EJ, that being said he has a nice company that I have used. I think that there are many better off shore places to put your money if u believe what Peter has to say.

Re: Euro Pacific ?

Am looking for somebody who is a BEAR and is not up to their neck in Housing/Wall street nonsense.

As i understand it EJ offers a guide to which way the wind is blowing but its up to you to buy/sell.

You Guys
It very hard for just a layman such as myself to understand what's best to do. I understand i need to buy GOLD, but what other steps?

Re: Euro Pacific ?

I've been a Euro Pac client for 4 years. Peter's firm specializes in placing stock and other investment purchases globally, and they are very good at what they do. Peter's a smart guy, and his integrity is beyond question. Having said that, I doubled my returns once I took charge of my own portfolio and stopped asking them to "give me ideas". That's not to say they don't have reliable reco's.

If I have a criticism it's that Peter's seven or eight years of tub thumping about the housing bust has eventually left me a bit weary of it's mono-thematic tone. I did take the advice and sold a home in San Diego at the end of 2004 however - on that score Peter Schiff and EJ saw eye to eye right from back in 2001 or 2002.

I'm new on these forums but have been reading I-Tulip with interest for two years. EJ's synopses of the macro picture give you the essential large scope view, with a very sharp focus - Peter Schiff's insights and recommendations are scrupulous, conservative in stance, and seem to me correct in practically all their assumptions - So if you are looking for a brokerage that's "clued in", this firm will steer you into the right diversified, well rounded and conservative hedged portfolio to counter all the careening messes towards which the US (and world) are headed.

But I believe you'll come straight back here to "put it all together into an overarching and really "grounded" picture - strategic rather than tactical, for the next decade - EJ's commentary (and the best parts of this community) is a standout, and provides all the far sighted strategy and looking forward we could hope for.

Whatever brokerage you choose, read widely and at a certain point you'll just naturally digest the bulk of it and find yourself synthesizing your own best options. I believe in always finally deferring to ONE'S OWN decisions - don't let even the most informed broker or pundit serve them up for you.

No-one can care more for, or thereby better steer your assets than you.

Lastly a word about Stephen Leeb - perhaps one of the smartest guides out there understanding the really big issues (and opportunties!) of the next decade is Stephen Leeb. He's more conservative than many - but I was reading this man forecast our 2007 present with a laser sharp focus back in the year 2000! Almost EVERYTHING he forecast then has come about almost precisely as he forecast it - right out to the very largest macro themes. I would be really interested to see him interviewed on this site.

Leeb's themes seem deceptively simple - but they are extremely acute and level headed. When I'm really stumped and casting around for guidance I trust him more than almost anyone - on everything from short term market timing to the macro calls. When so many pundits in the bearish communities are scrambling to climb into a cave he's every bit as bearish, but seems uncannily able to precisely gauge the real and present risk level so he's in there scooping up profts while more agitated pundits who formerly seemed to have stature are losing their cool. I've seen him do that hat trick several times over.

BTW, he's a double PHD and reputedly solves quadratic equations in his head.

You can trust Stephen Leeb's guidance and rock solid integrity with your safest money, and he's got some eye popping insights about what is just around the corner for us all. His macro themes alone can steer you to where to park a major chunk of your investments for the next decade. They will appear simplistic - but watch them turn out to be the most unerringly correct.

Meantime, hats off to E.J. - probably the most astute forecaster of them all :-)

Re: Euro Pacific ?

...............Ok am learning...........so what you are saying is Peter S or EJ or this other bloke will sort of point you in what they think is the right direction.

So you have to decide what and when to buy............more importanty WHEN TO SELL!

I'm also a big fan of Leeb after reading his "oil factor" book. This is a bit off topic, but how about Marc Faber? I'm considering subscribing to his BoomGloomDoom.com letters. Do you recommend him? His track record seems impressive (except for his shorting US equities too early in 1999).
Also, how about Steve Saville with speculative-investor? I started getting his trial newsletter and not sure of his track record.
Thanks!!!

BTW, I'm not familiar with Euro Pacific at all.

Re: Euro Pacific ?

OK, So EJ is more Marco, Peter is more Micro and this other bloke is a bit of both. STill wondering "HOW" you pick your companys etc to buy and WHEN TO SELL?

Re: Euro Pacific ?

Friendly_Jacek : Yes, Marc Faber is first rate - AAA. Between E.J., Stephen Leeb and Marc Faber you've already got a very high caliber triangulation for what's going on.
