JIM'S LATEST COMMENTARY (SHORT & SWEET):
http://www.jsmineset.com/Dear CIGAs,
Gold is a currency.
Paper currency insures nothing.
Gold is insurance.
Gold is not a commodity.
Gold will trade at a minimum of $1650 MUCH SOONER THAN I HAVE ANTICIPATED.
The shorts in gold shares will get what they deserve - financial decimation.
Your friend,
Jim
