You'll remember the NIA also picked US Silver--they were perhaps responsible from getting this to run from upper 20s to nearly 50 cents in a short amount of time.
Not all of NIA's picks have been bad...Schiff is mad that they are using his material while profiting on stock picks.
Schiff also is slightly hypocritical when calling them pump and dump artists. He uses his opinions (which have been accurate) to tout his company...and people park money with him as a result. How is that different? And he was also premature about gold in particular and the deflation of 2008 cost many to lose fortunes by following his recommendations.
Bottom line: Do your own DD and don't rely on analysts, advisors, expert opinion generators, those that are yelling stuff on You Tube and people typing stuff on message boards. Me included.
