Contrarians’ Wildest Dream Coming True
by Jeff Clark - Casey Research - Published : January 15th, 2014
As most readers know, Doug Casey's most notable characteristic as an investor is his highly successful contrarian nature. It's how he bagged some of his biggest wins—not just doubles and triples, but 10- and 20-fold returns...

23 Reasons To Be Bullish On Gold
Submitted by Tyler Durden on 01/08/2014 20:58 -0500 - Submitted by Laurynas Vegys via Casey Research
It's been one of the worst years for gold in a generation. A flood of outflows from gold ETFs, endless tax increases on gold imports in India, and the mirage (albeit a convincing one in the eyes of many) of a supposedly improving economy in the US have all contributed to the constant hammering gold took in 2013.
Perhaps worse has been the onslaught of negative press our favorite metal has suffered. It's felt overwhelming at times and has pushed even some die-hard goldbugs to question their beliefs… not a bad thing, by the way..
To me, a lot of it felt like piling on, especially as the negative rhetoric ratcheted up. Last year's winner was probably Goldman Sachs, calling gold a "slam-dunk sale" for 2014 (this, of course, after it's already fallen by nearly a third over a period of more than two and a half years—how daring they are).

Rick Rule: “Every Billionaire I Know Took Bets Contrary To Conventional Wisdom At The Time That Were Highly Risky”
I had the opportunity recently to reconnect with legendary resource financier and investor, Rick Rule, Chairman of Sprott U.S. Holdings.
It was a fascinating conversation, as Rick indicated the resource market is exhibiting all the classic signs of a major bottom, to which investors face downside risks of about 50%—juxtaposed against upside potential of 10 times or more. He further commented on the single trait which separates millionaires from billionaires, after having personally gotten to know over 20 during his lifetime..

The world’s economy is in tatters and safe havens are few and far between, says legendary contrarian Marc Faber. The banking crisis in Cyprus has shown that even bank deposits are not safe.

Gold Bets Cut to Five-Year Low as Prices Whipsawed: Commodities
Hedge funds are the least bullish on gold in more than five years as speculation about the pace of money printing by central banks whipsawed prices, driving volatility to a 17-month high.
Money managers cut their net-long position by 9 percent to 35,686 futures and options as of May 21, the lowest since July 2007, U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission data show. Holdings of short contracts rose 6.7 percent to a record 79,416. Net-bullish wagers across 18 U.S.-traded commodities slid 2.1 percent, as investors became more bearish on coffee and wheat..
