Great interview TPC! Fleckenstein was a vocal bear in 2007 & ’08, then switched to neutral-to-bullish due to govt $$$$ flooding in. It sounds like his inner bear is emerging from its den again…..
Fleckenstein is one of the best. Talk about pragmatic….He is one of the most level headed guys around. I still don’t agree with his hyperinflation theory though….
Was this the one from Nov 20th? Having trouble with the link. Fleck is outstanding. He is not in the Hyper-Inflation camp just yet. But his views on Gold might make one think he is. He has said it’s way too early to be concerned with hyperinflation.
Fleck and TPC are my two favorite resources. Love what you do here.
