I also wonder why should I buy stocks on the advice of a guy who drives a worse car than I do?..........

It does make you wonder though. If Barrick Gold, for example, is such a gold believer, why don't they hold off on selling all the gold they mine right now, and wait until the price hits $2000 to sell it? Or in the least, have a trading desk set up that times the market to only sell gold on the top of overbought waves?
