I never thought I'd ever see a "Tabs fanboy" thread. Interesting.

I find him abrasively enlightening at times; often repetitive in his themes. Certainly an intelligent man that looks at the big picture. But Tabs doesn't care what I think...

Like a smooth Bourbon, (think Pappy Van Winkle), Tabs is often misunderstood; he's an acquired taste. At first, he irritated me. Then he amused me. Now, he impresses me with his wealth of knowledge and taste.

I miss the old Tabs monologues where he used to go on about the wonders of the Vegas buffet, issues he has with Mother, and lest we forget, his massive knowledge of all things spoons, persian rugs, and antiquities.

There's only one way to become an Oracle - one earns it. Tabs has earned that title.

Thank you for the entertainment so far. If you are ever in the North East, there will be a bottle of Bourbon in my home for you. (But no Pappy's - you may be a man of wealth and taste, but I'm not!!)

Cheers...

.tabs has called everyone here lame plain stupid over and over and some of you like that?

Oracle? Jesus Christ. A big man with a swollen head and huge insecurity issues.

However, I have agreed with him on occasion. Beyond his doomsday beat, he does come up with bits of flicker of the candle now and then.

He waxes poetic and spells for siht.

Thinking Milt hit it on the head.

Overly focused on 'things' and when he speaks of things i know about i find he's just parroting and not speaking from personal experience. On politics i kinda like that he's not married to either side and seems to speak from a independent mind.

It is always good to have somebody that is contra the herd. Tabs does that in spades.
Okay so he thinks there is a doomsday going to happen in the economic world.

The problem there is he never offers any antidote if it happens. My only suggestion is diversification and possibly some gold. But where do you store it?

tabs talks about some stuff that I follow closely, and I can assure you he indeed knows his stuff there. What can be overlooked is that while most of us, including me, are 90% focused on the waves, tabs is 90% focused on the tide. If you're expecting him to correctly call the next incoming or outgoing wave, you're missing the point.

Tabs gives the impression he has the means to live anywhere he wants and not be tied to a job.
His picking Vegas tells me all I need to know.

PPOT is very informative and intelligent. Tabs is one of many who make it so.

He was a refugee from Californicate long before Joe Rogan was...
