From the homepage:

"First and foremost - we don't have anything against these guys but there is something very wrong with the current swath of Gold and Silver analysts. They are incorrect so much more frequently than they are correct in predicting the metals prices going back almost 4-years. They almost universally scream 'manipulation!' yet that doesn't stop them from consistently anticipating a rise in the price of gold and silver. Many are compromised by telling gullible investors exactly what they want to hear to utilize their financial services, purchasing coins/bars from them, subscribing to their paid newsletters or accruing hits on their videos. Investors are invariably disheartened and our goal, at this website, is to find one, or more, who's calls have some accuracy or truth. We've focused on these individuals so far - examining their quotes/predictions of the past (click names):"

This is the first in a series of posts challenging the Martin Armstrong on the board. The facts are, he is a convicted of securities fraud and spent eleven years in prison for it. When he got out, he reinvented himself as the all knowing, all purpose expert in everything that he is not.

An example of this is his 3rd quarter 2015 call about a coming sovereign debt crisis. That was when the actual European Debt Crisis from 2009 to the mid 2010s was finally getting resolved.

Notice where 2015 is and what was happening. The debt crisis was getting resolved, while Martin was predicting another debt crisis. This is a typical Armstrong tactic.

This is the first of a series of posts. If anyone is interested, I may create a ping list.

Comments, questions, informed critiques, ranting and raving?

Martin claims his brilliant computer makes the calls.

Listening to Martin Arthur Armstrong, a convicted felon who spent 11 years in jail for cheating investors out of $700 million is moronic.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cassandra

In The Fall of Troy, told by Quintus Smyrnaeus, Cassandra attempted to warn the Trojan people that Greek warriors were hiding in the Trojan Horse while they were celebrating their victory over the Greeks with feasting. Disbelieving Cassandra, the Trojans resorted to calling her names and hurling insults at her. Attempting to prove herself right, Cassandra took an axe in one hand and a burning torch in the other, and ran towards the Trojan Horse, intent on destroying the Greeks herself, but the Trojans stopped her. The Greeks hiding inside the Horse were relieved, but alarmed by how clearly she had divined their plan.[23]

A little history/mythology on prophecy.

But it seems his, supposed, prescient calls from decades past, have not been supported with any recent calls that he can put on his resume. He seems as clueless as the rest.

A few thoughts:

1) People like predictions. It makes people think they are in control. Think Global warming, cooling, the list is huge.

2) I never focused on his predictions, but I did/do find his analysis good and educational. I have learned to place my own bets, not his.

3) We know our federal govt is headed for “bankruptcy”, that is logical and shown to us by history.

We don’t know the when or exactly how.

We woke up one morning, learned the USSR was gone. It happened that fast. But life went on. Prepare for the rebuild.
