I was getting the Dinesletter back then. We were just kids, buying and selling junk silver coins. We subscribed because he was the first one in, around 1964? and he claimed he would give us the final sell signal. MOVUAGASS I think he called it. Much vaunted gold and silver sell signal.
What I noticed in the letter was numerous miners were up thousands of percents. He did flash the sell signal about two years too late, in June 1982, and put everyone into normal stocks at Dow at 796. Dow stayed under 1000 from 1968 to 1982.
He recommended selling all inflation related assets, predicting a deflation, (which happened until 2000). Im hearing lately, a lot of little people buying silver again.
