    unfortunately the video did not have entire interview. His bottom line was there is no such thing as mild inflation. Either we will have hyper inflation or deflation. He does not predict the outcome. He suggests we prepare for both. as of 6/26

    Dude is certifiable. His only skill is his ability to carry a grudge to the grave. Hi Nick. Please no more drunken texts from Tuscany.

    I was really looking forward to reading his books, but the guy is insufferable. Ended up just hearing the summary on Blinkist

    I sent his book to a buddy at unimelb -> buddy corrected the math on the margins -> sent book back to me -> I sent book back to you know who -> ended poorly.

    I last heard from him in 2014 (SMS). Now in email. Must have something to do with the Dead Sea Scrolls or perhaps he's covered his wings.

    I read all his books. Make sense but hard to trade what he preached. I tried hunting black swans but only able to catch a few ugly ducklings. :banghead:
