08 Dec 2010 Video/Transcript: David Einhorn on Charlie Rose
"The global economy, as I see it, is sort of in a period between two crises. We had a crisis in 2007-2008. Call it the private-sector banking crisis, or the real estate bubble popping, and so forth. And now we have had a period of sort of clean-up and respite a little bit. But I think it’s sort of laid the seeds for what eventually will eventually turn out to be another crisis. And we’re sort of in a respite period where things for the moment seem relatively stable. But I think there is a lot of unfinished business that come from the last crisis..."

Dataroma's opinion:
We strongly disagree with Mr. Einhorn's views on gold (who are we to disagree with David Einhorn? True, but nevertheless, we would still like to state our opinion). He states that gold is money (currency). It is not. It's a greater-fool-investment. It seems he is mesmerized by the glitter!

It is possible that gold proves to be a good investment over let's say the next 5 years. If it were to double from here, that would amount to a 15% annual return. But, it could also halve in value since it has no earnings to provide any kind of valuation support. It's worth whatever people think it's worth! Remember, it was a third of today's price, only 5 years ago!
