Loading ...Is Armstrong The New Sinclair ?
Sinclair is a Fallen Angel…that is for sure…. right ?
He was the darling of CIGAs (Comrades in Golden Arms ) as he called his disciples .
For years his forecasts with magnets came true . Trader Dan Norcini was his Go to TA Analyst and he to was bullish.
All was well in the realm until late 2011 . Then not long after an apparent top was spotted and Mr Norcini went Bearish
Sinclair parted was with Dan …Never fear Now he had a new TA Guru …Bo Polny..
So yes He is a Fallen Angel as his Comany’s Share price will attest .
………………………………….
Now its Armstrong that has the Floor
Personally I don’t really know what to make of him
Is Socrates the real deal ?
Can one program a HAL like computer with every historical financial record…like how many coin dyes are found in any particular region ..which in turn is supposed tell you the money supply in Christ’s Rome
Please everyone post your experience with this New Kid on the Gold Block
I have no clue if he is Friend or Foe
Genius or Insane
Honest or Just another Con man ?
Everyone has an opinion though
Please voice it here
He is widely Followed
Widely accepted as a Guru ( Movie and All)
a Fascinating but Dour Character …with a very scary and depressing armageddon outlook

Been reading MA off and on since before he went to prison. And I STILL don’t understand him half the time (most of the time?) But his cyclical approach intrigues me and I see no reason why there shouldn’t be cyclic trends in economics. Can Socrates predict them? Maybe. But then Socrates should also teach MA syntax and grammar so I know what the hell he’s saying.
As for Sinclair, at one point he called Dan the greatest Trader out there and Armstrong the best at predicting cycles. But then he dropped them both when they disagreed with him around 2011. And we know how that turned out for him. Still, I honestly feel Sinclair is a man of integrity, but he stopped following his own advice to read the charts and obey trendlines.
you are right there and actually Socrates is much easier to understand than MA when you see a computerized output–words not arrays. The US tried to have MA murdered in prison so maybe the blows to the head left some brain damage…MA survived the attack but I know those hockey enforcers have caused early death to lots of hockey players in Canada ( who get beaten on the heads during hockey matches ) so who knows what effect the attempted murder had on MA’s verbal sharpness and proficiency
Armstrong is HARDLY the new kid on the gold block. He’s been in business since the 80s. He’s been writing about gold forever… he wrote a paper entitled “Gold 5000+” in 2009.

Point is he is the new designated Guru
Back during the gogo years even before he was imprisoned he wasn’t idolized
in the gold community like Jim Sinclair (Mr Gold)
He was just another guy at that point .
I don’t think he is being idolized–that is your word….MA has such a massive global view/ understanding of what factirs are effecting what events and then he can spout off times in history 1,000 of years ago where exactly the same event happened
MA has a system that predicts BIG financial outcomes like the fall of Russia or how about the 500 point stockmarket crash in 1987… so while the rest of the World is stumbling around making the same stupid mistakes over and over and
over MA created a system that offers a way NOT to keep making the same mistakes over and over because Socrates knows how many times in ancient times the same stupid decisions which led to the same misery, pain, crisis,failure, revolution,war EVERYTIME can be avoided so as to get a better outcome with less misery, pain and suffering
I am Very Sceptical that Anybody can know with the slightest bit of certainty the machinations of the
financial systems of the day in every important civilization since the neandrethals
….this Socrates has to be the greatest example of GIGO .
How can we take him seriously when he claims to KNOW M3 in Babylon and The GREAT INFLATION of the currency in
Hittousia in the 23 century BC . (Made up examples but you get the idea)
I just checked Amazon and they have the documentary about Martin Armstrong that was sweeping Europe and banned in the US for awhile..now you can buy the 90 minute movie/documentary about MA: “The Forecaster”… one reviewer said Amazon wouldn’t sell it to him in Canada for some reason ( not sure when he tried to buy the movie). The movie covers his run in with the corrupt legal system in New York ( where they just change the stenograper’s recording however they want.) I’ve heard MA allude to the starry eyed view that so many Americans have about their institutions… what the U S put MA through is nothing short of a horror movie script…and it woke me up ( just the little I know of his story) The US can be as dispicable and vicious as any Latin American ( forgive me Latin America) regime of thugs that you could possibly EVER imagine and MA somehow survived what they did to him. I think he is brillant and his early ideas as a boy about gold led to his dis covering all kinds of profound underlying phenomena in the Universe–he is a physisist ( can’t spell that word). A Mad scientist type…someone called him a Galileo type…that computer he created is amazing –the accuracy of his prediction which really are just the result of munching on staggering quantities of data looking for pattern recognition because MA figured out that life is cyclical and events keep repeating…that is why the Chinese like MA so well — they believe in cycles too. Get the documentary for $6.00–you will be amazed and disgusted with what the United States did to him
Sinclair is a man of integrity,his problem is that he is a…….GOLDBUG! And he wants us to believe that gold can only go up and this is ridicolous.
Armstrong was right since 2011 and this was his fortune,we will see if “socrates” is right when he predicts that gold will go up together with US dollar and the stock market while bonds and the debt will collaps.
but please be fair and say precisely what Socrates has ‘said’ and if you have a negative opinion about MA and Socrates your negative bias , if you have one, won’t effect how you present what MA said or what Socrates said either by ommision or slanting the facts to disparage MA and Socrates
I come to Bury Cesar not to Praise HIM
no country wants information to be freely available — the politicians want to manage the information so in the US the media only presents positive info about Obama or e Progressive agenda of course no one even tunes in that media any long so those TV stations are withering away cause its sll propaganda and Drudge and Breitbart news are offering more truthful information about what the political class is up to so MA offering a way to predict events before they arrive had to be stopped
You know very well what MA and Socrates have said if you follow AE : “Gold will make a new low and then it will rise alongside with the US dollar and the US stock market.”
I appreciate MA , he has been right until now,let’s see if he will continue to make correct forecasts.
I don’t have any negative bias against MA,I just hope he will be right about gold.
Good chance bonds turn later this year.
When bucky tops, and CRB catches a ledge from which to recover some ground.
Predictions are hard.
I give MA credit for homing in on the right questions, for astute observations on the geopolitical front, and for knowing his history.
That puts him leagues ahead of the mainstream pundits, and at the forefront of those with a clue.
