When Mrs. Equiz and I listened to that item yesterday when it first appeared on SGT Report, for a fleeting moment I wondered if that opinion would be heard by a significant number of people in the United States, even if SGT is US-based. So it strikes me as timely that you did re-post the item for US-based people on goldtentoasis to be alerted to.
This example rekindled my uncertainty about whether I have been on a dangerously narrow path in my time allocation in selectively browsing only a limited number of internet sources about the precious metals sector. Several times each day I allocate time to view all postings on goldtentoasis and I at least look at all subject headings posted on SGT Report, but for the latter website I open only those links that seem relevant to my rather narrow focus. In the interests of time, which is the most precious commodity in my opinion, I have developed this rather narrow oasis and SGT focus on the “bigger picture” because my core time each day is reserved for the Canada-centric analyses and viewpoints that I feel are most useful for managing our portfolio. Here I am referring to my key sources of opinion and analyses. In no intended order of importance or priority they are: Rob McEwen (McEwen Mining Ltd.); Keith Neumeyer (First Majestic Silver Corp. and First Mining Finance); Eric Sprott (Sprott Asset Management); Donald Coxe (Coxe Advisors LLC); and, of course, Rob Kirby (Kirbyanalytics.com).
My focus on these five Canada-centric sources of opinions about the PM sector is what has made me wonder at times if I have developed too narrow a focus. On balance, I think the analysts named above have provided valuable and usable source of information and opinion. As long as I maintain faith that they are providing a useful focus, this approach is allowing me to avoid most of the extraneous noise that comes from broader internet browsing. For now, the five opinion sources named above, plus the links I learn about from daily browsing goldtentoasis and SGT Report, is about all the external stimulus my mind and PM-focused portfolio needs.
Wishing you a pleasant weekend and an autumn of successfully protecting your assets.
