He has said the Fed missed their time to raise rates in 2011. Been saying this raise has been nailed on for a few months now so don't know where you are getting your info. It's pretty easy to find.

With gold, I can see your point. Rickards has been pushing gold hard but always prefacing it by saying it could go down short term aswell (which it has). His 10k gold call is a nice TV number, reliant on a monetary reset where gold is repriced overnight either as a way to create inflation or to shore up a new system.
