Hey, when starting, I have to start somewhere. The points about Armstrong’s selective and wrong predictions are still valid.
Note I did not defend Armstrong. Nor did I do anything except point out that the Moriarty stuff is also self-promotion. I wouldn;'t defend him either. As I wrote:
No problem bad mouthing some financial guru. I trust none of them. Not Armstrong. Not a 77-year old Moriarty. Not some web site hosted in Canada. Not some fund manager. Nope. Get information and make your own decisions? Great. Trust some "operator?" Probably not the best idea, especially someone ready to sell you their book(s) and services. Because then you are the market to which they are selling. Promoting.
"It is selling books and services where these folks make their income. If their brilliance about gold was 101% spot on, they would do well NOT to tell you their secrets.... Not even for 99 cents on Kindle."
From YouTube channel monetization to Twitter blue-check ad revenue sharing to websites for entities which seem much more than they are, this is a world filled with deceipt. On all sides.
Caveat emptor. Be skeptical. Trust BUT verify. When someone wants to hold your wallet, think what that means....
