<but long term and intermediate term he makes more sense to me than anybody else in the gold bug camp>
I agree. As opposed to most of the bs posted on 321gold ("POG to xxxxxxx now") and kindly reposted here by dan, Saville makes sense most of the time. That's why I feel bad about his unlucky stretch (g).
Based on his charts, I still think that for short/intermediate term trading he is using a rather primitive set of tools - especially when he deals with the market in general.
