Is this guy just a doomer porn guy?

Whenever I see him "interviewed", it's just some guy lobbing softballs up to the plate. This link is an elaborate book pitch, but does anyone take him seriously or even half-way so?

He is definitely a doomer porn guy.  Eventually one of these guys may be right, but I feel like when you get too conspiratorial or sensational, you lose a lot of credibility.  He's been talking about a dollar implosion for years now, but when I look at a 20 year monthly chart, it looks like the dollar has put in a nice base since 2008 and is getting ready for a break out to the upside.

Yes.

Here's the message you get if you start watching the aforelinked video and you actually lose interest and try to close out that window:

Kinda creepy to see him talk about his "colleagues at the CIA." The funny thing for me is that I read Currency Wars about a year ago which started me on a search for a more diversified approach to investing. Rickards often seems to recommend holding 20% of your assets in gold. Ha! Only 20%? Time to rebalance. Can't believe you guys are dissing him. Have you seen the CHARTS? 

I hate that kind of hard sell crap. Makes me want to run away as fast as possible. And it makes you seem like a common hustler.
