'...Ted was the only precious metals commentator on the Internet with any commodity-trading experience...twenty-five years worth...first at Drexel Burnham Lambert -- and then with Merrill. He was an authority on futures, options, swaps, spreads, precious metals leasing...the lot -- as that was his livelihood.
Nobody -- and I mean nobody, held a candle to him...
Ted was very opinionated...bordering on irascible -- and because of the thousands of times we spoke, I never quite knew what version of Ted I was going to get when he picked up the phone. And by the way, he never called me...as he was the master -- and I the student. That unsaid relationship was firmly established at the beginning -- and we both knew the rules, even though they were never spoken. There are times in life when one has to set one's ego aside if you wish to advance in life -- and for me, this was one of them.
He had a low opinion of everybody that wrote about the precious metals on the Internet -- and for very good reason...even me at times.
He had a low opinion of everybody that wrote about the precious metals on the Internet -- and for very good reason...even me at times.
I quickly learned to be careful of not only what I said, but how I said it, or I'd get an earful...' Ted Butler Passes From Our Sight
