“I want to remind readers that both Doug Casey and I own shares
in Banks. Personally, it remains my largest position.”“…I’m reiterating my renewed Buy recommendation. Whatever happens in the
near term, these shares are a great buy, whether for a first tranche or a
second. I intend to buy more myself—after giving you a chance to do so first.”
“Seriously. I mean, seriously, how can anyone in their right mind like a
company with a balance sheet like this? Let alone somebody as dangerous
to other people as Lobito who recommends it to other people. Especially
when those people are a bunch of naive sheeplike followers who require a
little expertise in the sector, not tripledumb investment advice?”“I knew Louis James was stupid about geology. I didn’t realize how stupid
he was about financials. The above is just plain embarrassing, it’s
amateur hour level.”
