  • Chris,
    Count me among the readers who look forward to your "big picture" topics, including food related issues. Your macro view is an exceedingly rare find among today's writers, making it all the more valuable. Obviously these issues have a huge impact on personal investing, money management, and future net worth. As such, I can't imagine why anyone would object to this thorough analysis. Gold writers are a dime a dozen, and if I want to read comforting thoughts from a gold perma-bull during any given drop in price I can easily do that elsewhere. I appreciate your breadth and depth of coverage and consider my money spent here well wort it. Keep up the good work.

  • I appreciate all your alerts. It helps me see through all the smoke and mirrors about 3 to 7 days before the media or even most other newsletters start to comment on it. (I subscribe to 6 other newsletters incidently} Also even a few of the newsletters that do comment quickly usually have a new product to sell along with the timely information so there can be a little bias there even. So you are one of the very few that keep me up to date in what I would call a pure fashion,i.e. with no string attached. Max


  • Hi Chris,
    just to thank you. In Australia we have superanution the equivalent of a 401K. On December 31 i put all of mine into cash. $1.5mill Aus. The figures for January if i had left it where it was was minus 6%. Thanks again. Thje cost of the newsletter fades into insignificance compared to what i saved. Many thanks.

  • Hi Chris,
    Just wanted to say I really like all the alerts..I like the idea of someone watching my back who shares my viewpoints . Good intel is of paramount importance in the war against poverty and “value for money” is an appropriate description of your services.
    Thanks Again
    Mark


  • Dear Chris,
    Your alerts are fantastic; keep it up, especially on gold and its short term direction. I trade gold on the forex markets so your input has been a great help as markets are very volatile at present.

  • Hi Chris
    Just to say, as a new subscriber who has been investing for 14 years and who subscribes to around 20 newsletters (I try to take the best ideas from each!), I really like the little alerts you send out. Other writers do send them out occasionally but not to the extent you do. Particularly appropriate in these increasingly volatile markets, and good calls too.
    Philip


  • Hey, I'm a new subscriber. Saw your report on yahoo finance message board and liked it.
    I like all your daily alerts like the one below - truly good value.
    Things change so quickly I am depending on your service for quick confirmations, especially tomorrow- to see if there is going to be a reversal or dead cat bounce.

  • "I appreciate your integrity in bringing out what you perceive to be the situation even if it flies in the face of conventional wisdom. It is bound to be unpopular. Even resented. So keep up the exceptionally good work and gives us the truth as you see it. It is really a high state of service.
    Sincerely, Max"


  • Chris,
    This year you have done an amazing job of keeping us informed, and in keeping our investments out of harms way. ... is incredibly valuable.
    Thank You! Best regards,
    Frederick

  • Ding, ding ding!
    We have a winner.
    Chris, Your insight is as uncanny as it is rare. Your understanding of the current market situation and your accurate integration of the data available makes you a rare commodity indeed. Thank you for your effort and for the time you take to attempt to help people understand the reality of the current situation.
    I read maybe 50 financial authors. I look forward to yours the most.
    Best Regards,
    Rod


  • Hello Chris
    Thanks for your hard work and inisghts, I have read a number of people through the years but nobody has made as much effort as you to keep my portfolio from damage, which in the present climate is far superior to returns.
    Much appreciated. Thanks again, Paul


  • Chris,
    thanks for all your up to date Alerts. You are the only NL I subscribe to that does such an in depth alert mailing.
    Thanks again, I'll always be a Subscriber. Keep it up, most helpful.
    Rick


  • You were one of only a few, (and I mean a few) who were talking and warning about these issues and the things to come that are now unfolding right before our eyes.
    Your work is very much appreciated.
    Thanks


  • Chris,
    Thanks for keeping us all up to date with your alerts in the past several weeks.
    I just renewed my subscription – it’s an invaluable word of truth in today’s “hyped” media.
    Dennis


  • Good call, Chris
    You are a controversial figure over on the Daily Reckoning website but you called this crunch months ago and while there will be zigs and zags, it is not going away for a very long time.
    John


  • Chris, you've been bang on with your analysis all year. I regard your newsletter and alerts as my window to the truth. God knows the governments, in times like this, won't be enlightening us with what is really happening. Even some of my other gold/uranium bulls aren't talking much about a liquidity crisis that is happening before our very eyes. - Grant
    •

  • Chris,
    I'm glad you sent the alert. Wednesday I started selling and this morning I bailed entirely out of the market. Thank you. You saved me skin. Now I'm waiting for the dust to settle. Might be a while.
    Gerold


  • Chris,
    Your comments regarding markets are weighed very seriously. We always appreciate people who can think outside the box. Most people that comment are just charting trends (which anyone can do) and not thinking about what's actually influencing the markets.
    Charlie


  • Chris,
    You have one of the best investment newsletters around. Yet I did not subscribe for a long time because the name "Prudent Squirrel" did not seem so professional and timely as it is. I thought it was just some "gold bug" newsletter limited to storing gold and silver bullion at home and maybe articles about where to buy survival gear/food...
    Carl


  • I have read your articles as they have been made available to the public. I would like to congratulate you on your call of going to cash. I came to the same conclusion and sold my gold/silver stocks recently before the decline but I did waver once or twice since there were so many articles written proclaiming an "imminent gold breakout to the upside!". I have been in gold/silver markets since 1998 and this was a hard decision to make. Your stance and one or two other analysts helped to keep my head focused on the right things. I have been an investor for 40 years and this was one of my best calls if not one of the most difficult. Keep up the good work. There are a lot of people out there with less understanding than myself who need even more help. These are very dangerous times. - D
    •

  • Great Call- All too often we write when we disagree with newsletter viewpoints but I have to say of all the material I read in a week you have been dead on with your analysis. Case in point, the price of gold has fallen just as you predicted it would when most of the very wise and knowledgeable gold and silver bulls have been screaming, buy, buy, and buy. You on the other hand have cautioned, not yet, not yet, not yet... Tim
    •

  • For the record, you have hit the ball right out of the park on your carry trade call. Excellent work, and excellent fortitude sticking to your conviction/beliefs. Steve


  • Congratulations Chris for your success in the newsletter business.. my brother also subscribed on my recommendation.. your being highly analytical and to make great calls are your strong points - keep it up.. Mateo


  • Hi Chris,
    It's hard not to get through a newsletter of yours without wanting to thank you. I've subscribed to more newsletters than I'd like to admit, but yours is very special, very smart. Thanks, Mark


  • "If these stats are true we may very well see what you foresee in your article. I like the way you stick your neck out and call it like you see it. Regards/Peter"


  • "I value your opinion a great deal. You tell it like it is and your analysis is thorough and spot on.", Jeff


  • "I, for one am very grateful for you "telling it like it is" concerning what is going on currently in the gold, silver and overall commodities sector.... Your last article was more valuable, informative and genuinely useful than all the others I had read the same day. My main point is, we need your unbiased, contrarian voice for times like this. Believe me, I am the last person who wants to hear about any delay in the "gold express" train to the moon, but the first to say "Wow! I hadn't thought of it that way, I'll have to adjust accordingly". Thank you for your bold and knowledgable commentary! Sincerely, Robert


  • "Dear Chris,
    I'm a new subscriber.
    I appreciate and agree with (most of) your insights. You certainly
    see far into the future and have an ability to discern and filter out
    noise....Peter"


  • "Chris
    Your newsletter is great and I am learning alot from you on how these markets work especially the currency markets. I have always wanted to find a letter that emphasises the macro view point, which is what I have always looked at, instead of the micro analyses that are so prevalent. Steve"


  • " You and Bill Murphy, and Hat Trick are my elites and I've read A LOT! Thanks! C"


  • I just appreciate Mr. Laird's integrity because I have spent hours and hours searching every website and all these guys are blindly bullish. He is the only one who has the guts to tell the truth. Keep up the good work. Anne

  • "Hi Chris. I have been reading your articles at Gold_Eagle for some time and feel that you hit the nail on the head more often that almost any of the professional writers/financial advisors on the internet. Your article entitled "Subsistence Crisis" was the first that had impacted me in a long time. And your current "Debt Offset Inflation" also hammers home the hard realities of present and coming difficulties. I went back through your archives of articles and read them. A great body of work." David

  • " There's only a few writers and commentaries I regularly read, usually from the oldest geezers :) Yours seems to be one of the better more insightful newer ones. Keep up the good work. Mike "


  • "Hi, just subscribed for 6 months as i liked your 'what are you after' article. i have followed russell avidly and you and he have much in common... thanks, Don. - house is paid off."

  • "Your weekly letters are just like I had envisioned them when I subscribed. They really make me think. This weeks was the best yet. Wouldn't change a thing. God bless, John"

  • Hi Chris,
    That is one scary letter you wrote! Scary, but realistic! Are we really THAT bad off?

  • Less meat next year
  • Shift in gold market focus
  • Oil at a crossroad
  • Gold bullish factors include:
  • Gold Bearish factors include:
  • More gold comments, recent gold

Oil is at an interesting crossroad. There is a lot of new refining capacity coming online later this year. Refining bottlenecks have been key drivers to rising gas and diesel prices. Clearly rising oil prices too. It is said that oil prices have a roughly $30 -$50 speculation premium. When that happens, you get a bubble and have to be careful. Oil can hit $150 this year according to T. Boone Pickens... more
