That was Jim Rickards article. He is not exactly a lightweight in the financial industry. He was general council and negotiated the bail out for LTCM. He has worked for the Pentagon in their financial war games. Testified before congress. A little higher up in the Wall Street echelon than us. His opinion is well worth listening to, in my opinion, even if a person ends up not agreeing with it. He comes with pretty good credentials and financial background experience to have his ideas called simplistic. John |
