Generally speaking, though, Mish is a crank, he’s not educated in modern macroeconomics, and his position is too ideologized for my likes. Besides, I’m about as far removed from Mish as possible at all, ideologically speaking, but I consistently do well on Pigg economic forecast threads. (Not that anyone would acknowledge that.) I’ve been forecasting a crash in gold prices for the last three years, and I’ve been proven wrong so far, and I lost as much as $3,000 in direct investment as a result of that bad forecast. (I still expect the gold crash to occur at some point, but I gave up trying to time its occurrence.) Other than that, I think I’ve been pretty much on the money. I try to be scientific and stick to the facts, it’s not my fault that facts tend to have liberal bias.
