So simply because a trend is going in a certain direction we can proclaim with certainty that "asset class X will never trade above/below $YYY Dollars ever again"???
Well, it was more of a joke really due to the implicit suggestion by Spindro of Faber being a sell out gone mainstream only talking shit to rack up his convention fees and driving the sheep into the ground.
I'd say if Spindro has a problem with that kind of financial 'advisors' there are better ones available to target then Faber indeed.
That is should gold remain steady above 1K obviously.
But really, give the man some credit where credit is due.
Faber has a record is a little better than 50% accoding to CXO, a tad better than rolling dice. Much better than most of Wall St. still, which are much much worse.
He made many excellent calls, specifically his focus on dollar weakness and a secular precious metal/commodity bull market. But he also found himself like a deer in the headlights at times (see the 2003 rally, or the 2006 summer rally). Note how he was constantly talking about a coming treasury bear market that never materialized (over the last 9 years anyways):
