Apparently contrarian opinion is not welcome in here 
The problem with Martin Armstrong is there is always a "if" in his prediction. And he is already backing off with his "Big Bang 2015.75" (which is today by the way) stating the effects will take time and we won't see the consequences before xxx months (which is not the definiton of a big bang). Anyway I will leave it to it as I prefer to focus on real economists like Jim Rickards, Harry Dent and co.

But why cut my old post like that? 3 months later it still stands pretty good

One of the reasons I started this thread was to invite lots of ideas. Armstrong HAS ideas that you do not see in very many places.
I like guys like Rickards* & Dent as well. They too have ideas.
And for me, that's what I want. After lots of reading, I will make up my own mind on whose ideas I like the best.
We all have to choose our own way.

That's all good. And that's what I do also. For example there's this thread where Martin Armstrong is praised and there are other threads about him where actual questions are asked like this one:

And after I make up my mind.
OK, so let's try and keep it polite and with constructive criticism. I think most of us are reasonably intelligent and discerning here. As OROBTC says, the thread is to invite ideas.
EDIT: John999, I hadn't come across that informedtrades site before, an interesting read.
