Jim Puplava interviewed Gary Shilling in the first hour of his weekly Financial Sense Newshour program. It was Shilling's first time on the show -- and what a treat it is hearing him allowed to finish his thoughts and sentences. Much different from when he's appeared on CNBC roundtable discussions with 4 or 5 others, all talking at the same time. Some of whom aren't qualified to tie Shilling's shoelaces.
Shilling correctly forecast much of this current financial mess several years ago -- and he tells Puplava housing has further to fall. In fact, he thinks we might not see a bottom in housing until sometime in 2010.
I like listening (and seeing and reading) Shilling when the occasion arises in the same way I enjoy guys like Jim Rogers and Marc Faber on "big picture" type stuff. He's been writing columns for Forbes for what seems like forever. He strikes me a man who's been around a while and who takes a long-term view of things. Let's hope this is the first of many appearances with Puplava.
