He could also be right with his predictions, and in the end whether they are yours or his they are just that, predictions. Nothing is certain and even though we may disagree with them, there are very smart people who think now is indeed a great time to buy. Jim is obviously a very intelligent and fair minded guy and has every right to make reccomendations and predictions without being called desperate, self serving and ludicrous. I marvel at the amount of data that he is able to come up with and just yesterday I was thinking that Jim would have made a great military intelligence officer. If he were the self serving guy that you describe him as do you think he would be spending so much time maintaining his blog? If you look at the big picture, his blog paints a very grim picture of the market and is not at all self serving. I’m disturbed that we even have a thread dedicated to him.
