Hope I can continue to provide you with analysis which you deem helpful, readable and most importantly beneficial to your investments. R. Buss www.gmrletter.com

• [Radio Interview at ORN] Very well done, Randolph. You were clear and very easy to understand. Your finance training comes through when I hear you speak, but your thinking is not inside the finance straight jacket that so many of your colleagues seem to wear (with pride!)
  One minor point if I may - toward the end of the interview you said: "gold is really starting to get the medias attention"
  Yes, and I remember clearly here in Canada in 1979-1982 that every daily business report on the broadcast stations always gave the price of gold along with the Dow Jones 30 and the TSE composite index. That is an important point you raise because until the stream of consciousness catches up with gold, the metal will not restore itself to its true value.
  Thanks for an informative 75 minutes. Best regards, George, Canada

Thanks again for all your efforts to bring the truth to those of us who do not believe it is to be found in the main stream "news"
  Sincerely, PZ M.D.

• [Of Dr. Doom] - Dear Sir, Kindly tell your brother that you are only saying what the likes of George Soros, Warren Buffet, Jim Sinclair, Doug Casey, Anatal Fekete, Roubini etc. are, and have been saying for some time. You are in the same intellectually perceptive group of those that see the truth and speak it. Sincerely, RFM (p.s. Pessimistic can be realistic.)
• Dr. Randolph, It is a great pleasure to read your latest thoughts on the markets. On the credit crisis, Bob Hoye has termed it "the longest trainreck in history" regards, CSL, Singapore

It would be our pleasure to allow you to republish our articles. Thank you for your support. Regards, J. Kosares, Founder of USAGOLD-CPM, Inc.
• Hi Randolph, Firstly, thanks for producing such a wonderful newsletter. Apart from the material being of a high standard, I can tell that it is produced with passion and honesty.

• Randolph, Your writing is getting better and better. Good thoughts, perception. One thing puzzles me, if your investment decisions are as smart as your macro understanding, then you should be spending all your time on the market, rather than editing a newsletter and sharing your ideas! regards, Rhys, UK (from Editor: Rhys, I always said sharing knowledge is important - I work very hard on the newsletter and GMR - earning the respect and trust of readers is important. When the time is right, I shall ask for a very reasonable subscription rate)

• I very much appreciate your eMail service. I think you're doing a good job, keep up the good work. Sincerely, MH
• Great read, Randolph. As long as "The Price Is Right" remains broadcasting at it's regularly scheduled time, all is fine. Once the longest running game show goes off the air, then it is time to panic. Until then please do not bore me with the facts, you will ruin my high. the USA sheeple
• Dear Randolph, �Good to see you back and recovering from your recent mishap. Hope your health continues to improve. […] All the best to you and keep up the good work - I really enjoy your posts. RdB, Australia

• Randolph, I really enjoyed reading your editorial. King Arthur is one of my favorite movies. Your economic insights are good; I also come to similar conclusions as your own. I really enjoy your social commentary and your cultural insights when you travel. You are a joy to read. RB, Ph.D, Canada
• Randolph, I read your newsletter with interest being at heart a very old school value minded investor and an Austrian at the same time. This leads to the dilemma that I favour gold and energy stocks, neither of which are favoured by the value school of investors! […] I had better stop rambling, but in a nutshell I agree with much of your writing but I sense a difficulty amongst similar writers about when the exit for the long term trades like energy and gold is except for after a euphoric rally. History isnt normally that interesting, financial assets tend to move favour more smoothly and the dotcom type extremes are rarer so to wait for gold to become mainstream trade and many thousands per ounce has low probability of fruition compared to a gradual re weighting of favour to other currently out of favour asset classes. JE, UK
• Hello Randolph, First a really great web site and thank you for your contribution to humanity. TC, Australia
• Randolph, I enjoy this site very much . Thank you for all of the effort . DL, Australia
• Randolph, I have been reading your articles. They're terrific, and I'd be delighted to carry them on Seeking Alpha. D.Jackson, Israel www.seekingalpha.com
• I am a xxxxxx Services reader and agree with your letters entirely! YOU DID NOT MENTION THE FED'S DECISION TO HIDE M3 in the future...I consider this the greatest risk to unfettered expansion of money and credit in history.The rally in gold and precious started the day after it was announced--not a coincidence. Rumours in NY yesterday that the Fed is currently planning to print $2 TRILLION !!! You won´t see M3 ..bad luck ! I am a retired US institutional broker /analyst...keep up the good work!! Best regards, AM (editor: FYI - I have written a number of times in previous Letters about M3 being dropped from public reporting, this is also stated in the Weekly Outlook)
• Dear Mr. Buss, I really do enjoy your publication.� You pull no punches, and tell it like it is. When I have the opportunity to bring up some of the points that you make in your writtings, to people I know, they simply do not want to accept the fact that where we are, in the U.S. is dangerous. I remember my father, and my father-in-law, telling me of the hard times during the depression. It made a large impression on me. That has caused me to realize where we are now. Too many Americans, in their ignorant arrogance, self pride, and lack of humble reality, have chosen to go deeper and deeper into debt.� Wait until the waiter comes to the table with the bill. I remember that my father-in-law bought his home 55 years ago for $14,000.� It now is worth, approximately, north of 1/2 million.� How is that for inflation?� People think that inflation is a normal situation, and it is expected.� I believe that it is currency distortion, contorted, and in a severe case of torticolus.� Everything is backassward. They will never learn in the U.S. until the pain makes them take their hand out of the fire. Thank you again for all that you do for those that pay attention. Sincerely, RM, USA
• Randolph, I very much enjoyed you Macro/Global Strategy letter of 6 March and your Risk Management Letter dated 24 Feb - great stuff! J. Crooks, BlackSwanTrading
• Herr Buss, your last two articles were surperb, as always. […] Nevertheless, do please continue your most excellent e-letter. BTW, you should start charging for it. Everyone is deserving as regards to making a living. Regards and respect, JZ, USA
• Dear Sir, beautiful new look and the content is great. From San Francisco, I just wanted to say thanks for the excellent work.� I pass the URL on to all my german expat friends, and they are all very happy to see a fresh perspective outside the CNBC and reuters sources.

• Dear Mr. Buss, Thank you for your interesting insights. I've really enjoyed reading your newsletters. […] Thanks again for all the help you've given me! Best Regards, BH, USA
• Randolph, it is not often that I read such intelligence in a financial newsletter. All credit to you to put your thoughts on the internet. […] Regards, RW Manila, Phillippines
• I always enjoy reading your material and your polite method of presentation.� I get the sense you know about ten times more than you are telling us in your news letters and that you are just trying to get us to think. Yes? […] The next and perhaps next beyond that order of magnitude move in silver will reflect the investor community's�gradual� understanding of fiat currency - like Germany under the Weimar Republic. Thanks again for making public your most interesting work. Cheers, CK, California
• […] Anyway, your letter is always beautifully written and informative. Keep up the good work and buy gold. JH, Vancouver, BC, Canada

And your own essays are always thoughtful and worthwhile reading […] Just passing on my enthusiastic compliments to you - you've found, and filled, a worthwhile niche and I go to your site very early every day. John, USA
• Exclusive to Der Invest Informant - Prof. Mueller's Backgrounder : This is by far the best summary I have read on the subject. I have forwarded it to all my friends and made it a required reading for the macro course that I currently teach -- that's over 100 people. Thanks Antony. PK, unknown
• Exclusive to Der Invest Informant - Prof. Mueller's Backgrounder : Antony, Thanks for taking this topic and making it so clear. I am going to link it to my weekly section of my site tomorrow. With the tons of economic garbage that continues to be told to the masses, your style of writing and your charts make it clear to any reader, reality is totally different from the illusion that are being deluged with daily. It is also apparent from your article, that economics is not some heady intellectual topic that has no real practical impact on our daily lives. Also,your tables just strengthen your points. Thanks for this article. Doug Wakefield, Best Minds Inc. www.bestmindsinc.com
• Dear Sir, I found you article on money supply to be informative. Thank you for the insights. […] Inflation is not always a matter of what the Fed does in the future, but often a function of what they have done in the past. GP, Tucson, Arizona
• Randolph, Thank you for your great work .. Your most recent piece reminded me of my amaturish look at the CPI, M1, M2 & M3 […] One only has to look at dollar purchasing power over this term to see that "we've been robbed" , its now just a matter of determining how badly ...Again ,thank you for your work, I appreciate your thoughts and attention to detail. Best Regards, FM, California

• I am a new reader of yours, and I love your insight, and obvious hard work that you put into your site.The most recent letter was fabulous. I plan to have all my kids read the letter by Steven Jobs. A mentor for our times, when there is so much hubris. Keep up the good work. JM
  PS. I am a Canadian, and was brought up here. However I was born in Germany. I have never visited my home land, but it is my intention to do so soon.
• I greatly appreciate all that you write about, even when it is contrary to my opinion. I am mostly pro-gold shares, and energy. I get pulled up short in both sectors from time to time as a result of the profile I maintain in my investments. But they, I believe, are both long term investments with a bull market perspective. […] BM, USA
• I re-read your essay "Having purpose and going alone" about every month. Maybe it is time to update it. I really enjoy your ideas. They are what many are thinking but are afraid to say. Phil, USA (Editor:See Latest Letter 05 Oct 2005.)
• Great article. However, one macroeconomic variable you ignored is the increasingly likely problem of a decreasing world oil supply. Combined with the obvious inelasticity of demand (consumers are choosing gasoline purchases over other discretionary spending, much like cigarette smokers faced with price increases) this�does not bode well for future price decreases, regardless of the sickness of the world economy. BT, Toronto, Canada (Editor: I did not ignore it - I have addressed it in other articles however. Thank you.)
• Hello Mr. Buss, I thought I'd drop you a quick line and let you know how much I enjoy reading your newsletter.

• Randolph, I very much agree with your comments on the US consumer. I wish there was a public official in America that would tell the people the truth regarding our unsustainable imbalances. I suppose that is far too much to expect. In my work, I try to explain these things to clients and for the most part they don't want to hear it. Perhaps at some point it will be broken over their heads and they will no longer be able to ignore the situation. JC, USA, Investment Analyst

Ich suche ja meistens US und kanadische Webseiten auf - leider muss ich feststellen, dass nichts gleichartiges in deutscher Sprache zu finden ist. Viel Erfolg.WR, Paraguay
• Yes, please include me ... This first read-through today was very interesting and provocative. JS, USA

• Very well put. and a credit to the public discourse .. and thank you// BC, USA
• [Your article] I found it interesting, not the least of course I am one in favour of Gold as an investment -- at this time. And for reasons we're aware of with regards the United States' money creating habits. KJ, Malaysia
• Very perceptive essay. You've put in words what has been a feeling that I've had for years. BW, USA
• I have just finished your latest newsletter (week of 02 August). An excellent read. I think you are spot on with each feature. You have a fantastic understanding of many things. Please don't stop sharing them with us. NS, London, UK
• Thought I would just mention my appreciation of your pennings on the general economic climate surrounding us presently. Not least because it mirrors my own take on things, but your knack in organizing and getting your thoughts across is only a pleasure to behold. EK, Namibia
• I am impressed with the debt and breath of your historical perspective as applied to current affairs and events. I know it is obvious to us the unfolding of the big picture, but how many of our world citizens realize what is happening on the world stage? I hope, many more than I believe to be the case. R, unknown
• An excellent summation of the current global financial situation and its likely ramifications. Thankyou. RM, Australia
• Dear Mr. Buss, I recall the memories of my father, and father-in-law on the depression. They impressed me when I was young, in their stories of the time. I do believe that you are so correct about people, especially the U.S., that have no clue as to what is coming. The hard times will bring on more moral anarchy. People will lose so much, and they really don't have to, but they are all asleep. And deaf to your teaching. Those, that I know, won't take advice on the markets, and the debt, Fiat currency, Budgetary shortfall, it goes on and on. They are having a good dream and don't want to wake up to reality. Thank you for a really good article. BM, unknown
• Toll - macht mir viel Spass...und, ich freue mich auf den n�chsten Artikel EKM, Germany

• Randolph love your work, and your side commentary of the graphs brings a round of applause ! TR, Australia
• You got me...I'll give it a go. Sounds like pretty sane ramblings. AA, Australia
• Good advice ! - I enjoyed your article and think you are absolutely right. I sold my house "pretty close to the top" in November 2002 and now I am renting. I invested the proceeds (…) and also have gold/silver bullion and shares. I am doing quite well. When the housing bubble deflates sufficiently, I will buy a house with the proceeds. PF, USA
• Just a short note to thank you for the clarity of thought and logic you brought to the "value" article. My thoughts exactly (…). I look forward to your newsletter. RS, USA
• I loved reading your article and your down to earth writing style. KB, Australia
• Would like newsletter. Brilliant analysis with documented visual evidence! Thanks. C.E.
• Dear Sir -- Today in Wal-Mart the electronic bar code check-out overcharged me ($1.42) on a 5 oz. can of Hormel Ham that was labelled (Michigan has an item pricing law) $1.10. The store reimbursed me and then paged people to re-label the product. -- I agree that prices are going nowhere but up. S. USA
• I would be very interested in recieving your "free" newsletter. I found your article and was impressed. Thank you. JS.
• Nice to have Randolph back after a long absence. WM, USA.
• Gracias por Der Invest Informant. Eres un genial, siempre los he dicho y sigo diciendolo. AT, Spain
• It's easy/pleasant reading and informative as well. You're not writing out of some ivory tower and you've personally experienced what a lot of private investors go through and that's a major advantage. (…) If your writing goes as fluently as I read your copy, I think you should definitely continue and consider selling your newsletter at some point. RM, Belgium
• Your essay is entirely correct and I am doing the exact same thing here in America. 95% of the world will not believe you, and many, many more are going out and buying and trading up thinking prices only go one way. I was a residential and commercial developer for years and know of what I speak. It is cheaper and safer to rent; (….) Nice, very honest and correct essay. RW, USA
• Herr Buss, I enjoyed your article [on housing value]. I see this happening everywhere, and people who do not have two cents to rub together are buying bigger houses. My thinking is … no debt, have gold and silver, and hold on, its going to be a rough ride. JG, Montreal
• A visitor to our web site has emailed me your article on Value. It is a brilliant piece - well done. NJ, Australia

and, which I also appreciate, always a sour apple in the pot --

• that renting article you wrote is preposterous. DD, unknown
