Paul Van Eeden interview

Note: Please see our post update regarding interview links.

Over the weekend I watched an hour long interview with investor Paul Van Eeden on Robtv. If you are interested in catching Paul's views on gold, junior mining shares and the outlook for companies in the commodities sector, I would definitely recommend watching it.

Speaking of which, you might also want to catch Marc Faber's segment from last Friday. While giving a brief example of the effects hyperinflation might have on certain asset classes, he elicits an "I'm sorry, can you repeat that?" reaction from anchor Jim O'Connell. While I'm almost certain it was a staged response, I was delighted nonetheless.

Update: The March 2006 interview clip has been found and re-added to this post. See our most recent Paul van Eeden interview clips post and search the blog for more content.
