No problem criticizing Armstrong, as all the BS forecasters aim to get into your wallet one way or another, but the article from seven years ago merely underscores sense.
Don't buy from an unknown dealer, an online dealer and especially someone who promises "physical gold" but wants to tilt you to a "gold" IRA.
Don't use advisors you cannot talk to locally and get at when advice proves bogus. And don't quote out-of-date sources. If investing in stocks or bonds or promissory notes, hold the certificates yourself. If buying metals, hold them yourself. If buying collectibles, hold them yourself.
My personal synonym for anyone forecasting anything -- caveat emptor. Buyer beware.

Step #1. Don’t buy gold.
This reminds me of a joke:
A man decides to leave Russia to join his son in the United States.
He brings along with him a bust of Vladimir Putin.
When he gets to the airport in Moscow the border guard asks him why he’s taking the bust of Putin with him.
“To remind me of our Supreme Leader when I’m living in the impoverished USA!”
When he arrives in the United States, the customs official asks him why did he bring along an eighteen pound bust of Putin.
“To remind me of the oppressive bastard who used to be my ruler! Now I will live in freedom!”
Arriving at his son’s house the son looks at the bust of Putin and says, “Dad, why would you bring that ugly thing all the way to America?”
“Because my son, that ugly thing is eighteen pounds of gold!”
