There was a financier during the depression, I don’t
remember his name but well known who said that
when his shoeshine boy started giving him stock tips
he knew it was time to get out of the market,
he did and didn’t lose it all.

During my 20 years in the market, I have been a superb bellwether of contrarian investing. Anytime I purchase an asset, it proceeds to fall precipitously, usually within minutes. And the only time my assets actually increase in price, is right after I sell them.

So beware all: I have of late been seriously considering adding gold to my portfolio. I’ll let you know when I do, so you all can go short.

I think that has been attributed to the patriarch of the America destroying Kennedy pack.
