Meet Henry Weingarten of the Astrologers Fund.

I have reading this guy for many years. And buying and selling stocks on his advice, for that matter. He has been touting gold for a long time…which is now at a 25 year high and climbing.

Weingarten is a Leo. I don’t know him, but he mentions this now and then. And he is calling for gold to reach $800 an ounce by 2008. And I was thinking about this in relation to the other Saturn in Leo blogs (here, and here). Saturn favors reality and Gold (Leo) has real value, as opposed to money that just keeps coming off a press…or the things you own, but you owe on.

But anyway, Weingarten sells subscriptions, but offers some of his work, a week delayed. See “Wall Street Next Week” which updates Friday mornings. He also writes a newsletter from time to time and it’d be nice to see him get some credit for his work.

Because at this point the mainstream is yakking about gold…they are calling for $1000 an oz and so forth, but Weingarten was waaaaaay ahead of the pack on this one.

So what do you think? Is gold the new platinum? How high will it go?
