Potentially good news for gold lovers.

Hard to believe, but a recent article in the illustrious Wall Street Journal actually deigned to bash the almighty Eric Sprott ? Oz, Alexander and Nimrod of the gold world, a man who?s every word is precious to the oro-phile among us.

Details of the article are of less interest. The fact that it was printed we take to be a potential contrarian signal, indications (albeit early) of a coming bottom to the shiny metal?s collapse.

Hooeeeee!!!

Nevertheless, it was a damning sight. The Sprotter?s record was trotted out by the world?s most widely read paper and exposed for the dirty underwear it was.

This was the well-heeled Canadian?s ugly chart ?
